Emotions and Relationships in Pop Songs

Cover of Thomas J. Scheff: What''s Love Got to Do with It? (PDF)

What do pop songs have to say about love? Surprisingly, this book shows that most popular love songs express much more about alienation, infatuation, estrangement, jealousy, and heartbreak than about love. Scheff takes the reader on a tour of popular lyrics from 80 years of American song to reveal the emotional and relational meaning of lyrics. He shows that popular love songs typically steer listeners away from a healthy connection to the emotions surrounding love. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of love songs while appreciating the author”s suggestions for how listeners and artists could enrich the art of the love song.
