What is love, anyway?

[rj_anderson]

And if that subject line started Howard Jones running through your head, you are a true child of the 80's. :)

Seriously, though, I'm speaking to a women's group in just over a week's time and the subject is "love". I thought it might be interesting to start with some definitions and opinions from the general public, and since we're such an articulate lot here on LJ, where better to solicit some?

So. How would you define and/or describe love, in two sentences or less?

Any responses I do use will be kept strictly anonymous, so feel free to speak your mind. Thanks! I look forward to hearing what some of you have to say.

In the mid 80s, I was buying electronic music & recording magazines that had demo tapes on the covers (I forget the titles now). I remember one brilliant pastiche of all the recent UK hits that had the word "love" in the title. One verse featured the lines:

"...and poor old Howard Jones
just doesn't know what love is anyway -
He finds it so confusing.
Well I may be wrong,
but here goes another love song!"

...And into the chorus, which is a twisted fusion of the choruses of "What is love anyway" (H Jones), "Love on your side" (Tomson Twins), and so on, ending with a final tagline of "Look - Of - Love!" (Whoever that one was).

Wish I knew where that tape was...

Look of Love = ABC

I want that tape, too!
