Love Music Now and Then

Love music today does not have the same feel as it did in the yesteryear's. When we listen to the radio today the love music which once made us pick up the phone and call that special someone, does not have that effect it once did. When we here today's love music on the radio it just makes up think about that one person when ever we can hear that one line in the song at gives up that mellow feeling. Most of the love music today involves more sex explicit words than it does those words that us just want to run off and marry that love one. Music has such a large impact on our lives today and most artist fail to understand what they put out there to be sold is what our young people will grow up listening to . Many people today do not refer to the song which we as the youth consider love music to be music. To older people such as our parents or grandparents consider this music today to be noise.

Love music in the 80's and 90's meant something to people when they were requested or just played on the radio. When a spouse would play a specific song for the other or sing a line to the other it meant something other than " can I get in them draws?". Today's the music is basically the easier way for a male or female to ask the other " can I get some ?" and this is what we are selling to our youth. This is also a huge part of why the classics by Luther Vandross, Dur Hill, Boyz II Men and many others are still played on the radio stations and are still chosen to be wedding songs. Because these songs have the true meaning of love without all the sex explicit lyrics and all the cursing and disgracing women they will continue to live on in our heart and also on our airwaves. When we attending wedding we never hear song by Kelly Rolland, Rihanna, Lil wayne etc. because these songs are not suited to be played at these type of functions whether it be because of their lyrics so simply because they don't make us feel that love that we ought to feel when with our spouse. It has been said on many radio station that the love music which is being produce today is very "hurtful". When this meaning is explained they go onto say hurtful inn meaning it makes a person feel insure about love or it is more towards the break-up said of love. If a person really sits and examine the lyrics in some of these so called " love songs" , you would realize most of the lyrics are about being hurt or breaking up. For example in Beyonce's love song Best Thing I Never Had already the name of the song is hurtful. Although it is meant to be a break-up song it is extremely painful compared to One Last Cry by Brian Mcknight. Beyonce says in her song "Lord knows it would take another place another time, another world another life thank God I found the good in goodbye" these lyrics , in my personal view, are very depressing to say to a person you spent your time on and then things didn't go as planned and in return you request this song for that person. Here now Brian Mcknight says,in what is seen as a break up song, he says " One last cry before I put it all behind I gotta put you out of my mind this time stop living a lie I guess I'm down to my last cry". Though this is seen as a break-up song he does not  brutally say harsh thing to hurt this person feeling he says it in a manner where the person can understand the hurt but also realize he is making and effort to move on.

When we look at the music today and the music yesteryear we can truly see that it has come along way but we also question the quality of it. Classic will always be the better music because it has the soul and it puts across how we feel even if we are afraid to say it to the person directly. Artist have to realize that they are seen as role models to our younger generation and that people of older age would still like to here a nice clean love song every once in awhile. People don't always want to hear about sex and weed and how many girls you can call a "tramp" or what ever the case may be, people want to feel love and music is the number one way to make a person feel special but this is being destroyed because of the quality of music which is being produced today.
