This is a song (not about love, that I love) based on Obel’s reading of Daniel Kahneman’s book ‘Thinking, Fast and Slow’, especially the chapter on narrative fallacies. I play this Berlin Live version obsessively...

Out on some borderline,
Some mark of in-between,
I lay down golden in time
And woke up vanishing...

Paperback Writer by the Beatles. It was specifically done by them for the purpose of having a song that wasn't about love.

Most songs by Tool have nothing to do with love/relationships that I can determine - only a few do.

Tennessee Ernie Ford- "Sixteen Tons".
Two hits by Christopher Cross: "Run like the Wind", and "Sailing".
Peter Tosh- "Legalize It" (love of weed, not romantic love).
Tom Leherer-"Poisoning Pigeons in the Park"
All of those Jan and Dean, and Beach Boy songs about surfing and hotrods.

Tons of political and protest songs. "Give Peace a Chance", "Blowin in the Wind", "We Shall Over come". And Patriotic anthems (love of country, and not romantic love).

Gospel, Hymns, Spirituals, Christian rock songs, about God and not about human lovers.

Most of Weird Al Yankovic songs are about food, or hamsters from outer space, or about having a "Party at the CIA".
