Wedding Love Songs

A good love song involves meaningful lyrics, the quality craftsmanship and the ability to provoke an emotional reaction. For every decent love song, there are countless others who rely on the words of weakness and negatives in order to become a big seller as the number one wedding song of the year.

While reading the lyrics of a love song bad, you can begin to despise him, even before hearing the music. An example of this is the most annoying and upsettingly popular James Blunt hit - You're Beautiful. Sentimental, emotional and nauseous, Blunt's voice pierces the listener brain like shards of glass.

"You're beautiful, you're beautiful, you're beautiful, it's true."

The repetition of the title suggests that Blunt lacks any imagination or ability to build meaningful lyrics. To end the stanza (?) With it's true highlights again the total lack of meaning in the song and removes any sense of feeling or emotion in what he sings. Feeling and credibility are key to the success of a love song, although record sales suggests Blunt song is happier than me to give him credit.

Nearly twenty years ago, Chris De Burgh has been setting the precedent for cheesy love songs when James Blunt was still in short pants. The words themselves are not anywhere near the standard of James Blunt, and the meaning behind them has been clearly explained by De Burgh on his wife. However, as with so many popular love songs, the lyrics become unbearable to hear you.

"The lady in red, the lady in red, the lady in red My lady in red. I love you. "

The song is not overly unpleasant, but there is something extremely irritating to the climax when De Burgh repeats the title before cleverly changing the words "my lady in red" before speaking the last line: "I t love. So many people's favorite, Lady in Red is too sweet to be considered a love song.

De Burgh and Blunt may be the most popular choice for many bride and groom's first dance in the world, but Bryan Adams monopolized the market for years. From Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves soundtrack, (Everything I Do) I Do It For You "is the only number one in the United Kingdom for 16 weeks, the United States for seven weeks in Australia for 11 weeks and many others countries too numerous to mention.

The premise of the song is simple. Adams is the voice of a loved one, saying he did everything for them - linked to the relationship of the characters, Robin Hood and Marian. The song has been unpopular with the film company and they even wanted to remove it from the official soundtrack, but he finally played the end credits. The film has grossed over $ 150 million at the box office, and the song became a worldwide success.

"There is no love like your love. And no other could give more love
There's nowhere, unless you're there. Any time, any way. "

Again, as with De Burgh lyrics are reasonable, but shows the extent to which television stations, and the DJ played the song killed any chance she had of being considered a good song. Now, whenever the first bars of the song is heard, the memories of the listener remembers nightclubs school pre-adolescents, television and sentimental Kevin Costner - and other things that should be left in 1990 forever.

When you listen to love songs, we want to feel a sort of emotional bond with the material, the singer and the meaning behind the words. With songs of love so many who go to sell in the millions, the lyrics are diluted and lost, as the song loses its identity. Perhaps the argument in favor of Bryan Adams and Chris De Burgh, but there's really no excuse for James Blunt.
