There is a simple reason why I don't particularly care for "SONGS OF LOVE". There are already so MANY and they all seem the same -- you can almost sing along with each new one that comes out without even heard it before -- there might be references to "angel eyes" or "walking out that door" or some other similar cliche that has been played into the ground.
If you are going to rehash the same old thing, try asking yourself really -- what exactly is the point?
There are enough ready-made love songs that are probably better than what you will come up with -- so just play a cover version unless you have something to really bring to the table.
OK, the truth is that I actually don't HATE all love songs(maybe just 97% of them), but can't we try and be original?
If a format has been played as much as this one has, give it a fresh feel or new perspective that shows at least SOME effort to be your own person.
And yes -- you CAN bring something to the party if you look at what hasn't been done before and at least TRY it. This really goes for anything creative in my opinion. The unorthodox way is THE way to go to develop yourself and your musicianship into a unique, distinctive sound.
I will get now down off my soapbox.
Thanks for listening.
Rant over.
