I need to cleanse my soul after listening to "If It Ain't Me" by Dua Lipa one too many times. I felt a generation gap with that song. That's not because I haven't felt that way in romance. I have felt exactly that way, and I think it's a great song. I think she described those emotions perfectly and poetically. It's just that it's hard for me to imagine that a love song by someone like Dua Lipa is that downbeat and depressing these days. That's something I haven't experienced before.

The Sundays from 1997 with not a love song but a philosophical statement about love is a good way to pick this thread back up.
