Thread Name: how do I write love songs?
Subject: RE: how do I write love songs?
On Danny Spooner's album (yes, the "shantyman"--he has a huge and difficult to categorize repertoire) titled "When a Man's in Love" the final track, "I Wish that I Could Write a Love Song" (by I forget who; I am at work) is a charming song that not only actually touches on the difficulty some people face, despite the intense wish to express love, but also even laments that whatever he writes tends to turn into a joke.
