Love songs can be a very powerful aphrodisiac. They can give your spirit a natural high, put a goofy smile on your face and inject an extra spring in your step. They can make your heart beat joyfully, your face glow radiantly, arouse your ardor, and open doors to sensations that have been kept locked and safe from harm. Artists are truly believable when they have opened those doors and become the conduit for those emotions that come with loving others. Exposing that high in the form of love sonnets, poems and songs have made such romantic writers as Robert Frost, William Shakespeare, Rodgers and Hart, and Duran Duran's Simon LeBon memorable in the world's global psyche. California-based singer-songwriter-keyboardist, Leerone has that lyrical-bent and melodic edge that makes her material memorable. Her songwriting exhibits a craving to go out on a limb and love with an open and trusting heart, and portray those emotions in her creative offerings.

Leerone believes that love is an emotion that should be celebrated each and every day in the simple things that couples do for each other, not just solely with the gifts they give each other on Valentine's Day. She writes about love in her songs and poetry, not in the vein of supernatural heroes like Spiderman, Batman or Edward Cullen, the endearing vampire at the center of author Stephenie Meyer's novel "Twilight," but in the natural actions that lovers do for each other. Her song "Happy + Homemade" from her album Imaginary Biographies has lyrics that express love through the simplest gestures that couples do for each other, "You want happy. I can give you homemade. It's the next best thing to sliced bread In the sink, I'll shampoo your hair / Wash away all of your cares / Happy + Homemade are living under the same roof / Something to warm your bones / Tissue for your runny nose."

Her song "Share," also from Imaginary Biographies, reflects how love is strengthened through moments of intimacy and sharing, "When you share, share your secrets with me / A chemical reaction takes place inside. Hanging around is no fun if we don't get to share / You arrived just like a dandelion / Someone made a wish and set you free / Piece of you blowing in the wind until you fell upon my grassy home / Can I look at the world through your eyes and will you sit on my shoulder and be my guide? / Hanging around is no fun if we don't get to share."

Songs inspired by the power of love have the potential to change peoples perspective, and influence the listener to pursue a healthy and compatible relationship with someone. Love songs offer guidance to the listener like Leerones songs do, and can make the road to finding intimacy much clearer. Leerone's songs are not based on the supernatural or the fantasy types of love, but on the real and natural types that ordinary humans are capable of having.
