    Can't make it all alone
    I've built my dreams around you”
    Truly one of the best but if lyricism I’ve ever heard. Really gets you down deep. As a man, as a husband, this line is the most meaningful of all and has me in tears every time.

      That’s how real love is. I sometimes wonder how men communicate with women in the younger generation because my generation(Genx) the men did some wonderful true love songs. You don’t really see it so much in music now. I could be wrong but I think men were more romantic back in the day.

      I think you’re right in the sense that the most popular music isn’t as romantic as it once was. There’s still great songs out there though and it doesn’t take much digging. It’s just not the stuff you hear all over the radio or TikTok I guess.
