What's Love Got to Do with It? Emotions and Relationships in Pop Songs By: Thomas J. Scheff Publisher: Routledge Print ISBN: 9781594518164, 1594518165 eText ISBN: 9781317249238, 1317249232 Edition: 1st Pages: 176 Copyright year: 2011 Format: EPUB Available from $ 13.58 USD SKU 9781317249238R90 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.
