We often speak of "Love Songs" as one category of music. But when you think about it, almost all pop, rock and country songs could be categorized as such; even the great majority of instrumental music (including jazz and classical) has been inspired by that emotion. Exceptions seem to be limited to secular holiday tunes and commercial jingles.
Most of our popular music is devoted to the joy of love, the pursuit of love, the complications of love or the loss of love. That love may involve another person, a pet, a place (including nature), an activity or a mystical being, among less common subjects.
It is no wonder that the most complex and intense human emotion has spawned so much creativity. After all, nothing is more important in our lives.
