I literally and sincerely don't understand what you mean. What do you mean by a "love song?"

last unicorn said:But aren't the greates "love songs" about heartbreak, missing, longing, separation etc. I guess that's where most art comes from. Bono has said many times that he has a "hole in his heart", and that's what drives him, happy marriage or not.

A song about a relationship that is happy and wonderful all around. No "Bono" thoughts of wanting, missing, not having etc.
Some of the posters mentioned All I Want Is You, A man and a woman etc.

we wouldn't want that!!!gherman said:Because they know if they wrote a sappy, pop, love song I would shoot myself and they couldn't live with that
blm said:I'd love to find out where that info is from. And yes, I am sure we (plebans) would love to hear them. But I guess he has the right to save something special for Ali!!
blm said:why hasn't he written any REAL love songs? They are always filled with angst, pain, ambiguity, desire, searching, wanting, etc.
Has he ever been asked this ?

isn't drowning man a love song?

Ahem, no. It's not. It's also 'only' bitter-sweet, filled with a amell of desparation:
All the promises we make ("the love clicheé") ...
All the promises we break ("the naked truth"),
from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you.
Because of the different perspectives, because lyrics show both sides of love, that's why U2's 'love songs' are not simple plain, but full of meaning & mixed emotion. Hope, that won't change ever ...

"Love Rescue Me" and "All Because Of you" are not real man-woman (or whatever) love songs. These are songs about God and transcendence, but some lines can be interpreted as love songs.
I'd switch those for "A Man and A Woman" or "Wild Honey", for instance.
