Smackdown: The Love Song vs. The Breakup Song

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010

Few song topics resonate with listeners like romance and heartache. Today: Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, stars of the 2007 film Once and the duo behind the Oscar-winning group The Swell Season, join us in The Greene Space to debate which is more powerful: the love song or the breakup song.

Tell us: Are you more attracted to love songs or breakup songs? Has your preference for one over the other changed recently? Leave a comment and tell us why.
