In between carols and Christmas songs I usually find it interesting around now to find out what songs are regarded as the best of the year. This year Beyonce`s 'Halo' is nominated for a Grammy. While hardly unusual in using Christian imagery to describe romantic love- a theme going at least as far back as Fred Astaire`s 'Cheek to Cheek' in 1935 - I find it revealing that these kinds of songs still strike a major chord with secular society. I believe many of us are often guilty of expecting human love to be more than it can ever realistically be.
