We argue about music--at least my friends and I do-- about the affect of music on our moods. Does the music affect the mood, or the mood pick the music? And to be honest, I don't care. But something stood out to me.
Somehow I connect with depressing artists and their songs. It's as if it hits a string within me. I connect with it more than normal. The broken heart. The lost love. And the lonely days. I'm not sad. Things are really good, as a matter of fact. Even still, they have a charm to them. It's enticing. I think the fact that it's the raw emotion. The despair and the fight. The desire for company and companionship. Isn't that everyone's song? The desire for love.

"the desire for love." i assume that the preposition is a dative preposition, in which case you mean it as someone wanting to get something. i believe you are right to say that people have a desire to be loved (to get love), but i would also add the caveat that they desire to love something, as well.

I would agree. It is in a way a desire to get something, but I think more than that it is the desire for love overall. The give AND take. The relationship. I see (maybe imagine, but still..) love as a two-way street, although I agree it can be singular, "the desire for love" is more of a plurality of love between two people.
