It’s interesting to me how many people have some kind of love lyrics to write about. Some are obviously not serious business and have no bearing on your life whatsoever, but others may have some kind of significance. I guess all of them are trying to convey something to their loved ones, be it a feeling of longing or simply a longing for someone we love or something more substantial like a promise of an everlasting togetherness. And even if they don’t have some kind of love lyrics to sing about, most of them would have some kind of advice for you to follow.
One thing that is common – in almost all love lyrics is a reference to some kind of promise made in the song. There is a reason for that. Basically, love is really a promise to be always together and nothing can shake that. It’s something that needs to be lived every day with our partners, and this is what makes music so powerful and special. Music is a language that allows us to communicate to each other in our emotions and in our love for one another. If we don’t express our love in the right ways in our songs, it will never get anywhere close to being real.
One example of this is “Mr. Tambourine man” – Here, the title speaks for itself – “Mr. Tambourine man”. The words are all about love in general, though they are also about commitment and monogamy. This is probably the most famous song from The Beatles (and that’s saying a lot), and it’s probably because of this very same theme that most writers have come to view love lyrics as. When writing about a subject that you know something about, it is easier to write about that subject in your own words and convey it to others who will also be able to relate to it better.
Another popular subject when it comes to lyrics is lust – It seems that almost all songs written about love and romance fall under this category. In the case of “My Sweet Lord”, which was a top selling track for the greatest rock band in the world, the lyrics talk about falling in love with a woman and then losing her. Again, most people can relate to these lyrics.
Almost all songs – love songs or otherwise, that deal with marriage and relationships deal with infidelity in some way or another. These songs deal with what type of love relationship is fair in the eyes of God or the community involved. They touch on the topic of trust as it relates to marriage and what happens when it isn’t kept between the people involved in a relationship.
When writing lyrics about love – you should always keep in mind that you are doing more than simply telling someone how they should feel or what they ought to think. You are letting them know a little bit more about yourself and what you look at love as. If you don’t connect with the listener, then you shouldn’t be telling them too much.
The last thing you want to do is to make someone think that they are stupid for liking your song because you didn’t connect to them on an emotional level.
