I feel this so hard.

It's not even that 90% of love songs are for straight people, it's that 100% of them are about gals and guys who have no definining features, beyond their predisposition to breaking the singers heart or making them "feel like woah." Give me an actual story about something beyond just vague descriptions and the musician just saying how they feel without going too deep into why.

I don't want to fill in the blanks with me and my crush/partner/ex. I want a story that puts me in someone else's shoes so I can see the world through their eyes. Extra credit if it's not the same demographics and stories that saturate every other form of media.
