The genre of "love"

All of the love songs that I chose to use as part of my genre speak of a specific person or thing. Tenth Avenue North dedicated their song to the Lord and Jesus. However, Death Cab for Cutie and Snow Patrol speak of someone , but are not specific to whom , or if these people are real or fictional. The songs of love by these two bands have sad tones, as if to say love is painful, sometimes torturous. Tenth Avenue North sings of the potential for loves power to heal. While Jack Johnson sings of the best parts of love, such as growing together and spending time together. There are many different types of love songs; happy, sad, confused, angry, lost, broken-hearted, heart-mended, etc... The songs I chose all speak of the emotion, possibilities, and hopes and dreams of the composers.
