The only "goofy" love songs are one's that "don't" come from heartfelt songwriting.
The 1980's are the best example. A lot of Adult Contemporary love songs were hits then but the singers really didn't convey a true romantic sound when singing the words. In fact,most lyrics in that vein were cliche's by that time.
(Cliche': Overused expression to the point that it has no meaning) Like Peter Cetera's "Glory Of Love" for example! (My opinion).
Gordon's ballads are genuine,to some a bit old fahioned but the emotion that comes across is real. Otherwise,I wouldn't be a Lighthead! :D
