The wife and I are listening to Springsteen's "Tunnel of Love" lp and were wondering what other stellar albums of separation or divorce you can think of?
So far we have
Lenny Kravitz - Mama Said Suzanne Vega - Songs of Red and Gray Tears for Fears - Raoul and the Kings of Spain
Any other memorable lp's detailing and addressing the artist's relationship dissolution?
A great song, linnlingo, vocals by one of my favorite singers---the transcendent Tammy Wynette. And suburb, understated drumming by one of my favorites---the supremely musical Buddy Harmon.
Elvis Costello,Bert Bacharach Painted from memory, A very deep to the core of ones Soul or what was left after for Some the most devastating thing in their life time. Something Hard core Rock&Roll Nazareth Classic -Hair of the Dog. Love hurts everyone knows, know your mess in with a S.O.B, To the point, and the last one, Please Don't Judas me. This one I dedicated to my EX. For sure both are Classics. Sea of Change by Beck is also to the point, but these 1st two Go to the innards. Food for thought and s ? Where have you heard this ? The answer i made $$ on . - My heart is like wax and it is melting in the midst of my bowels. The guess who American women. But in reality it is from the Bible in Psalms.
Radiohead / Knives Out (the thing about cutting kids in half is fairly dark) Lydia Lunch & Mark Hurtado / My Lover The Killer (the whole album is dark)
Mercury falling I rise from my bed Collect my thoughts together I have to hold my head
It seems that she's gone And somehow I am pinned by The hounds of winter Howling in the wind
I walk through the day My coat around my ears I look for my companion I have to dry my tears
It seems that she's gone Leaving me too soon I'm as dark as December I'm as cold as the man in the moon
I still see her face As beautiful as day It's easy to remember Remember my love that way All I hear is that lonesome sound The hounds of winter They follow me down
I can't make up the fire The way that she could I spend all my days In the search for dry wood Board all the windows and close the front door I can't believe she won't be here anymore
I still see her face As beautiful as day It's easy to remember Remember my love that way All I hear is that lonesome sound The hounds of winter They follow me down
A season for joy A season for sorrow Where she's gone I will surely, surely follow She brightened my day She warmed the coldest night The hounds of winter They got me in their sights
I still see her face As beautiful as day It's easy to remember Remember my love that way All I hear is that lonesome sound The hounds of winter They harry me down
How about Ry cooder: the very thing that makes her rich (makes you poor)? Wonder how the slide master got away with singing that one! Probably many more tunes lurking in my tired brain but this is a great groovy one.
By genre country I would go with Mark Knopphler and Emmy Lou Harris "if this is goodbye" George Strait - "Easy come easy go" Rock Led Zepplin -"babe I'm gonna leave"
Classic country must be some kind of champion of divorce music, Jones, Conway Twitty to name a couple of many lol. I dont recall weather Charlie pride made any sad divorce songs but if he had I bet they would jerk out a few more tears. Hell of a singer that man whos voice can really get a message across.
+ for Isaac Roy Orbison
The Stones Honkey Tonk Woman! Because chances are it will be playing during or soon after somewhere lol.
