Popular music is a kind of mirror of society. In this paper, I selected 2208 hit songs from 1928 to 1999 and showed the long – term trends of some important keywords which are related to time and place. On that basis, I analyzed the concept of love in the period before and shortly after World War II. It was generally "Love blocked by distance" seems to be a general theme of many of these songs.
