That's a mostly true article. I find too many of those one true love songs weirdly stalkery.

This is why I like Josh Ritter's 'Baby that's not all' so much, I think. Its a really short but lyrical but realistic image of intimacy and loving. Although, most of his love song songs are pretty true to reality anyway.

And nearly every love song Glenn Hansard's ever written is kind of unromantic in that respect, but oh, have you heard the songs off 'Once'? Some lovely sensible stuff in there.
