I think our parents, grandparents and their generation were not too comfortable with the style of modern music. They were used to trumpets and pianos and all of a sudden there's this guitar thing that makes a lot of "noise". They got used to it as the music was still good. Listen to the music of the 60's, mostly all backed by a full orchestra. Many Beatles and other pop and rock numbers are still being played and recorded by philharmonic orchestras.
But now please tell me how in hell do you write notation for rap? These guys do not even know the 8 musical notes or understand any of the musical symbols. Hip hop is just as shallow and most of these so called artists cannot even play a musical instrument, not even a tambourine! The problem today is DJ's and radio stations who promote rubbish and make kids believe its cool.
Watch and listen to Midnight Blues on Facebook. Like!!

Each generation has its musical characteristics. 'Love,’ has being the epicenter of literature, art and music for centuries. The drastic alteration of this status quo is a paradigm shift in the Twenty First Century. My opinion to popular music in the twenty first century is simply ??~@$%$$%&WTF!!!???
The Pre-Modern legal Philosopher, who reigned between 423 – 348/347 BC, wrote extensively on the oncological event we call love in his Symposium. Shakespeare, who reigned between 1554 and 1616, wrote extensively on love.
The 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s used the very same formula. Suddenly, something just happened or appeared in the form of present popular music that cannot be reconciled with previous centuries.
‘In 1985, Coca Cola tried unsuccessfully to change their formula, branding it “New Coke”. This lasted three months before they re-released “Classic Coke” and later scrapped the new formula altogether due to overwhelming public outcry, a shining example of the power of love.’[1]
For me, personally, I prefer ‘silly little love songs’
You Are:1983: Lionel Richie: Lyrics and Video
Video[2]
Baby you'll find
There's only one love
Yours and mine
I've got so much love
And needing you so
My love for you
I'll never let go
I've got so much love
All I want is to hold you
Let me show how much I love you baby (show you)
I don't mind and I don't mind (loving you)
Girl I love you
There's no one above you
[Chorus:]
You are the sun
You are the rain
That makes my life this foolish game
You need to know
I love you so
And I'd do it all again and again
Tell me it's true
I can't believe you do what you do
I've got so much love
And my love you'll see
We'll stay together, just you and me
I've got so much love
Only you (know me)
Tell me how to love you baby (show me)
I don't mind and I don't mind (tell me)
Girl, I love you
Always thinking of you

Let’s do it again: Staple Singers: October 1975: Lyrics and Video
Medicus MG, Vos Liber prosperissimus.
Do it again, do it (do it)
Lets do it again (do it)
Mmm (do it again, do it again)
Gonna do it again (do it)
Do it, do it

Do it again
Sometimes the rain
Groovin' when I hear the sound

Gettin' down with the sounds around
Oh, the smell of the mornin' flower
As we pass away the hour
I want to do it again, do it again
Do it do it
Lets do it in the mornin' do it
Now I like you, lady
So fine with your pretty hair
If you don't mind my compliments
Just diggin? on the clothes you wear
I'm just a man and I got your fear
I can love you now I brought you here
I want to do it again
(Do it) do it, do it I want to do it again
Oh, oh, ho, hey, do it again
Do it, woo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Do it
Like a hammer on the block
Love began to rock

Mary J. Blige: Real Love: 1992:Lyrics and Video
[1] Video sourceWe are lovers through and through
And though we made it through the storm
I really want you to realize, I really want to put you on
I’ve been searching for someone to satisfy my every need
Won’t you be my inspiration?
Be the real love that I need
[Chorus]
Real love, I’m searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love, I’m searching for a real love
Ooh, when I met you
I just knew that you would take my heart and run
Until you told me how you loved for me, you said I’m not the one
So I slowly came to see all of the things that you were made of
And now I hope my dreams and inspiration lead me towards a real love
[Chorus]
Real love, I’m searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love, I’m searching for a real love
I got to have a real love
[Bridge]
Love so true, and oh baby, I thought that love was true
I thought that you were the answer to the question in my mind
But it seems that I was wrong, if I stay strong, maybe I’ll find
A real love
So I’ve tried my best and prayed to God he’ll send me someone real
To caress me and to guide me towards a love my heart can feel
Now I know I can be faithful, I can be your all and all
Ill give you good lovin' through the summertime, winter, spring and fall
[Chorus]
Real love, I’m searching for a real love (Real love, real love)
Someone to set my heart free
Real love, I’m searching for a real love
Real love, I’m searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love, I’m searching for a real love
[Bridge]
See, I'm searching for a real love and I don't know where to go
(Real love, I’m searching for a real love)
Been around the world and high and low and still I never know
(Someone to set my heart free
Real love, I’m searching for a real love)
How it feels to have a real love cause it seems it's not around
Gotta end it in this way 'cause it seems he can't be found
[Chorus]
Real love, I’m searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love, I’m searching for a real love
Real love, I’m searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love, I’m searching for a real love
Real love

Glass Tiger(Featuring Bryan Adams): Don’t forget me when I’m gone: 1986: Lyrics and Video
Album cover[1]You take my breath away, ohh
Love thinks it's here to stay, ohh
There's still so much for me to do
And I can't stop loving you
Oh, can this be true
If you could see what I have seen, ohh
Broken hearts and broken dreams, ohh
Then I wake up and you're not there
Pain finds me everywhere
Oh, but, you don't care
Chorus:
Don't forget me when I'm gone
My heart would break
I have loved you for so long
It's all I can take
You take my breath away, ohh
Love thinks it's here to stay, ohh
Still so much for me to do
And I can't stop loving you
Oh, can this be true
Chorus
Then, I wake up and you're not there
Pain finds me everywhere
Oh, but you don't care
Don't forget me when I'm gone
For heaven's sake
I have loved you for so long
There's nothing wrong
So, don't forget me when I'm gone
My heart would break
I have loved you for so long
There's nothing wrong
Video[2]
Bryan Adams featuring Mel C: When you gone:1998: Lyrics and Video
I've been wandering around the house all night
wondering what the hell to do
I'm trying to concentrate but all I can think of is you
well the phone don't ring cuz my friends ain't home
I'm tired of being all alone
got the tv on cuz the radio's playing songs that remind me
of you
baby when you're gone - i realize i'm in love
the days go on and on - and the nights just seem so long
even food don't taste that good - drink ain't doing what it
should
things just feel so wrong - baby when you're gone
I've been driving up and down these streets
trying to find somewhere to go
ya i'm lookin' for a familiar face but there's no one I know
this is torture - this is pain - it feels like i'm gonna go
insane
I hope you're coming back real soon -cuz i don't know what
to do

Les McCann: Can’t we be strangers again: 1970: Album- Comment: Lyrics and Video
Medicus MG, Vos Liber prosperissimus.
If I were asked what is my favourite old school song? I simply have to say: Can’t we be strangers by Les McCann.
The lyrics are not available on a google search except for right here(as at today’s date):
Album cover[1]I wish that we’ve just met
And had nothing to forget
Cause we’ve lost so much already and I’m afraid
You’ve grown so far from me
And I want what used to be
I take back each mistake I ever made
Can’t we be strangers learning to care
And feel the look of new love
The one we used to wear
Can’t we be strangers again, who knows?
Once you find yourself true love you never let it go
Can’t we be strangers learning to care
And feel the look of true love, the one we used to wear
Can’t we be strangers again who knows?
And once you find true love you never let it go
Now I wanna talk to you baby
I have a lot of things on my mind
I wanna say since you’ve been gone
I just wish there was some way we could get back together again and love each other
The way we know we can
We don’t have to be fighting each other
We have much more that’s going than that
I tried to make myself, but somehow
I just can’t make it
Its hard living here without you
Its so hard, just so hard
Cause I love you
I love you baby please come back to me
Come on home, and never leave me
No never,
No never
No never

Meet me in the crowd, people, people
Throw your love around, love me, love me
Take it into town, happy, happy
Put it in the ground where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine
