Romance is one of the things that most countries share, and I've noticed how different communities have their own ways of singing about love and heartbreak.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The appeal of romance is love. And that's universal.
Love is a great emotion, but I believe it's not just about romance; it could be love for nature, people, for relationships.
There's a lot of talk about the positive aspects of love. We as a society downplay the danger, the anxiety, and the disappointment. We romanticize romance.
Romance is sort of an island right next to care. When you care about someone and you listen to them and you hear them and you can feel them and you know just what's right, and generally it's something that will be very unimpressive to a room of strangers.
Women love romance, but they're not as romantic as men.
One of the reasons people like romances is that they're artificially shaped to give a pattern and meaning. It's not as messy as everyday life or as difficult or thorny.
No matter where I go, I actually have a lot of couples coming and telling me that one of my songs was instrumental in strengthening their romance!
The wonderful thing about romance is that there are so many flavors of it!
Romance is mush, stifling those who strive.
Romance is a bird that will not sing in every bush, and love-affairs, however devoted the sentiments that inspire them, are often so business-like in the prudence with which they are conducted, that romance is reduced to a mere croaking or a disgusted silence.
