(or at least on the cover of his second album Politics in 2005)
The multi-lingual French singer, songwriter, and music maker, Sébastien Tellier, came out with his third album Sexuality last year. It's the guy I mentioned earlier with his name on the really really soft super sized shirts from American Apparel (the first shop to sell his album.)
A track from the album, "L'amour et la Violence" to me, seems like what love may actually sound like. Violence, too. I don't normally say this but the Boys Noize remix might even be better. Here ya go.

The lyrics are difficult to distinguish for the normal uni-lingual person. My roommate Rundles speaks French very well and wrote it all down for me...
"Dis-moi ce que tu penses, de ma vie, mon adolescence,
Moi j'aime aussi l'amour et la violence."
(dee mwah suh kuh tu ponz, duh muh vee, mon adol-essonz,
mwah jahm ossee lah more eh la veeoh lonz) ...Sorry for the massacre but the phonetics make it great for a French sing along so you can not just have it in your head all day.
