Love songs have been written and sang for many centuries and the history and culture of almost every society have had one love song or the other traced to it. Because of the way the world is connected, long songs have become ubiquitous.
Denis de Rougemont's "Love in the Western World" provides a deeply controversial and surprising explanation of how love songs came to be. This thesis holds that love songs grew from the courtly love songs of the troubadours and that these songs were a representation of the historical Christian notion of love.
The identity of love songs has changed over several years, from the love decades of the 1970s to the night partying life of the 1980s into the dark romance of the 1990s.
