Here's why I liked a lot of music in the 90's and still do...

When I was young I interpreted music that has words like love in it romantically.

For example there was a song which I'll link here. (I'll link the female vocalist version because people prefer female vocalists generally.)

Tatu - How soon is now

The song, when interpreted romantically gives people hope when everything is going wrong... think about the words romantically...

"I am human and I need to be loved just like everybody else does."

Maybe it's just my personality.

And then there was Ava's song about corona virus.

"I'm not gonna make it alone."

(That she needs a boyfriend.)
