"Love For Sale" is a song originally written by Cole Porter and was later recorded by Harry Connick, Jr. in his album "Blue Light, Red Light" released in 1991. The song explores the theme of love being treated as a commodity that can be bought and sold. In the lyrics, Connick sets the scene of an empty street where the only sound is the heavy footsteps of a lonesome cop. It creates a melancholic atmosphere, emphasizing the loneliness and desperation people may feel in the pursuit of love. As the moon observes the waywardness of the town, the protagonist opens up shop, metaphorically referring to selling love. The chorus introduces the idea of love being for sale, describing it as appetizing, young, and still unspoiled. Connick portrays different types of love, ranging from old to new, and even slightly soiled. The repetition of "love for sale" emphasizes the commercialization and transactional nature of love, reducing it to a market commodity. Connick then challenges the romanticized idea of love by suggesting that he knows every type of love better than the poets, implying his experience and familiarity with the complexities of love. He claims to have gone through the thrills and trials of love, implying his expertise in the matter. The song concludes with the invitation to buy the protagonist's wares, encouraging the listener to follow him and climb the stairs, potentially alluding to a secretive or illicit transaction. The phrase "love for sale" is repeated to further iterate that love has become a commodity to be bought and sold. Overall, "Love For Sale" speaks to the commercialization of love and the transactional nature of relationships. It presents a cynical view of love, suggesting that it can be bought and sold like any other product.
