Following up on the success of their two previous projects (The Song Project and Songs for Petra) composer John Zorn and lyricist Jesse Harris have created sixteen new songs fashioned in the form of an Off-Broadway musical. Love Songs tells the story of a young woman, her friends, their relationships both past and ongoing, and struggles with identity and trauma.


From the fragile first chords, this song is an invitation to fall completely into the world of someone who loves you. It has the same energy as a new partner eking out a few handwritten chords and lyrics to a new-ish love from a chair at the kitchen table.

Among ancient Egypt manuscripts, love songs survive from only one time and place: the Ramesside Period community of elite craftsmen working on the tomb of the king (Deir el-Medina, 13th-12th centuries BC). The contents of the songs have been taken to indicate an even more elite setting, the palace and court of the king: the centres of power of Ramesside Egypt were all in the north, at Per-Ramses, Memphis and the palace of the court women at Gurob. These may be the places where the songs were composed and sung originally. Although no manuscripts survive from the palace sites themselves, the songs seem to echo the figures of singing women on late Eighteenth Dynasty and Nineteenth Dynasty cosmetic equipment and vessels produced for the highest level of society.

There are three papyri with sets of long songs, and one fragmentary pottery jar covered in another set; in addition there are about twenty ostraca that bear compositions that have been identified as love songs (Mathieu 1996: 27, with list and reference to different opinions of modern commentators). The songs are written in the Late Egyptian phase of the Egyptian language, a formal version of the spoken language of New Kingdom Egypt. No Middle Egyptian equivalent survives, although parts of the Middle Egyptian composition now known as Kemyt seem to present a man justifying his absence to a griefstruck woman. There are no later manuscripts containing love songs, but other written sources indicate that the genre continued in use or was revived; the inscription on a stela of about 700 BC describes the owner, a woman named Mutirdis, in terms close to the Ramesside love songs (Mathieu 1996: 36 n.34, 87 n.276).

Perhaps the most elaborate series of songs is the cycle of seven stanze on the back of a papyrus roll now preserved in the Chester Beatty Library and Gallery, Dublin (Papyrus Chester Beatty I, verso, column 1 to column 5, line 2: other love songs follow the cycle). In alternate stanze, a young man and a young woman sing of their love in separation. As in many cultures, they call one another 'brother' and 'sister' (Mathieu 1996: 26):

To explore the effect of the songs on their hearers, listen to the readings of stanze 1 and 7 (male voice) and 2 and 6 (female voice); for the female voice, two different readers were recorded, as a reminder of the variable of different speakers. These recordings were arranged for this website by Kenneth John, Outreach Officer for the Petrie Museum: the voices are those of Merlyn Gaye, Natalie Wright and Kenneth John.

Second stanza

 My brother overwhelms my heart with his words,

 he has made sickness seize hold of me.

 Now he is near the house of my mother,

 and I cannot even tell that he has been.

 It is good of my mother to order me like this,

 'Give it up out of your sights';

 see how my heart is torn by the memory of him,

 love of him has stolen me.

 Look what a senseless man he is

 - but I am just like him.

 He does not realise how I wish to embrace him,

 or he would write to my mother.

 Brother, yes! I am destined to be yours,

 by the Gold Goddess of women.

 Come to me, let your beauty be seen,

 let father and mother be glad.

 Call all my people together in one place,

 let them shout out for you, brother.

Fourth stanza

 My heart bares itself instantly,

 at the memory of your love.

 It does not let me walk like a person,

 it has strayed from its shelter.

 It does not let me put on a dress,

 I cannot even wrap my scarf,

 No kohl can be put no my eye,

 I am not anointed with oil.

 'Don't stand there - go in to him'

 it tells me at each memory of him.

 Don't, my heart, be stupid at me:

 why are you acting the fool?

 Sit, be cool, the sister has come to you'

 but my eye is just as troubled.

 Don't make people say of me

 'she is a woman fallen by love'

 Be firm each time you remember him,

 My heart, do not stray.

Fifth stanza

 I worship the Gold Goddess, I sing of her Presence,

 I raise up the lady of heaven,

 I give adoration to Hathor,

 Praise to the Mistress.

 I reported to her, and she heard my pleas,

 she ordered a Mistress for me,

 and she is come herself to see me.

 What a great thing has happened to me!

 (I felt) overjoyed, ecstatic, great

 when told 'Hey, she is there,

 look, she has come, the amorous are bowed,

 so great is the love of her.

 I send my prayers to my goddess,

 she gave me the sister as a gift.

 Three days to yesterday since my pleas

 in her name; since she left me is day five.

A sweet show, ... But yet another round of heterosexual-normative tales of falling in love, the challenges of 'baby's vrs work and depression... Urghh!!! Please can we have more diversity in our story telling from the Traverse... Urgh !!


I don't need drag dads with rainbow shows and 10 adopted, mixed sperm test tubes surrogacy babies but for goodness sake, please scrape the barrel clear of same old same old safe tales. 3/10

No Love Songs (***)

Two musicians fall in love, and then deal with the events of family life with the added pressure of his touring. My hearing really hindered my understanding of the lyrics of the many songs. The play does a really good job of describing the effects of post partum depression, but others agreed that the scene where he returns leaves the audience with an inaccurate impression that really disrupts the story when it is corrected later. I should note that many others that I polled gave it five stars, but two women gave it only three stars.



This is the 14th most enjoyable of the 28 shows I have seen so far at the Fringe this year. I hope to see almost 200. You may see my other three-sentence reviews, in order from most enjoyable to worst, at my non-commercial website:

For thousands of years, humans have put into music the most intense longings of their souls and the deepest regrets of their hearts. Love songs have been written by people as diverse as Confucius and Dolly Parton, and the love song remains a core part of 21st-century lives; an ingredient at every stage of romance, from a first date to a wedding.

In his 2015 book Love Songs: The Hidden History, Ted Gioia explained how love ballads emerged in the 8th-century tunes of medieval Arab female slaves in Spain. Some 400 years later, 12th-century European troubadours spread their songs of longing, an early indication that pleasure and pain are natural bedfellows in a love song.

A sweeping matriarchal epic that leads readers through a majestic tour of race, family, and love in America, this striking debut novel by an award-winning poet is, indeed, the Great American Novel at its finest.

This sweeping, brilliant and beautiful narrative is at once a love song to Black girlhood, family, history, joy, pain . . . and so much more. In Jeffers's deft hands, the story of race and love in America becomes the great American novel.

Triumphant. . . . Quite simply the best book that I have read in a very, very long time. . . . An epic tale of adventure that brings to mind characters you never forget: Meg Murry in A Wrinkle in Time, Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird, Huckleberry Finn. . . . The historical archives of Black Americans are too often filled with broad outlines of what happened. . . . One of the many triumphs of Love Songs is how Jeffers transforms this large history into a story that feels specific and cinematic in the telling. . . . Just as Toni Morrison did in Beloved, Jeffers uses fiction to fill in the gaping blanks of those who have been rendered nameless and therefore storyless. . . . A sweeping, masterly debut.

Overall, these hits have been added to mix CDs, belted out at weddings and quoted in movies as some of the most romantic gestures of our time. From Whitney Houston to Adele, here are the 83 greatest love songs to dedicate to your special someone.

This song will definitely get stuck in your head, from the chorus alone. The Beach Boys may be known for their catchy, surf-inspired songs but this love tune is a great addition to any romantic occasion.

You don't have to remember the '70s sitcom The Partridge Family when this song comes on, especially with iconic lyrics like, "I think I love you so what am I so afraid of..." You'll be belting out the tune to your partner as soon as the chorus hits.

Adam Bradley is a Professor of English at UCLA and Planet Word advisory board member. He was instrumental in developing our karaoke-style Unlock the Music gallery, where you learn about the songwriting techniques used in songs as you sing along.

The songs you choose for your wedding day create beautiful moments that you know will stay in your memory forever. Your song choices are also a great way to express who you are as a couple: classical traditionalists, vintage music aficionados, or pure romantics.

It may seem strange to begin with a love that's been lost, but with lines like "Oh you are in my blood like holy wine/ oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet/ oh I could drink a case of you" it's a love that's far from over. e24fc04721
