Some of the most beautiful songs come from a broken heart
-
For my money, this is the ultimate “adult” broken heart song. The utter emotional exhaustion always gets to me.
-
David,
You’ve posted some great songs!! I’m a huge ABBA fan.
-
-
A couple more.
-
A lot more broken there than just a heart!
That song actually popped into my head when I first heard the opening bass line of Questionnaire.
-
Touche. I love gallows humor.
-
David, when I first heard the opening bass notes of “Questionable” I thought of “Time of the Season”. Hmmm

Yeah, I thought of Under the Boardwalk also. This one would be a real stumper on Name That Tune.
-
I also thought it sounded like ‘Under The Boardwalk’

Cheryl Wheeler is a treasure.
I never need much excuse to sneak in a Grateful Dead number.
They must have had two hundred tragedy songs.
Wharf Rat is darker than i can bear.
China Doll is about a suicide. Here we go.

Many thanks to all of you. It’s always a lot of fun for me to exchange ideas with you and I’m glad that you’re there. And here is another song about a party and tears.
-
Music from a couple (Gwen Stefani and Tony Kanal) who processed their separation in this song and still managed to continue working and making music together. At least for a while. Remarkable
-
I absolutely love this song and have to post one more by Gwen Stefani ‘4 In The Morning’.
-
When Gwen sings,”Don’t tell me cause it hurts.”, doe she mean, “don’t use ‘it hurts’ as an excuse” or does she mean, “it hurts me when you say that”?
I realize it could just be a grammar issue, but songs don’t really follow the strictest grammar rules. It’s weird though, this always comes to mind when I hear this song. Is it obvious if I listen a little closer?
On second thought solving the mystery may not be the answer I want to hear.

Maybe he’s screaming at her “Quit stalking me” and it makes her ears hurt

Gwen Stefani has put out some pretty cool music, Diana. I really like „What You Waiting For?“ as well. Unfortunately, she has become more and more of an art product over the years. A similar development as with Madonna too. I think both had a more natural and somehow more sympathetic charisma in their younger years. Maybe it’s just a marketing strategy and they basically haven’t changed at all. That’s showbusiness.
-
That is why I love Mona and Lisa even more.

This one always stirs my soul, and can make a tear drop at times. It’s in the realm of MLTs “Close To You”, that longing for lost love.
-
I was going to say how Elvis did a nice job and how LeeAnn Rimes OWNS it but i forgot how good the original was.
Thanks Jung

Oh my Diana, you got my heart strings here….I am a sucker for these songs and yes I get tears in my eyes with some songs, one that comes to mind is Taxi by Harry Chapan and wow that song is so true for me, I fell in love with this girl in high school and I could not sleep thinking about her and she broke up with me on New Years Night 1973 and the next day I was sick to my stomach. so years later I see her and it was just like the song in Taxi but I was not driving a taxi but seen her in the super market and tears busted out as we hugged and have not seen her since, and another song that ties into this is Same ole Langsi by Dan Folgerburgh.
So with Mona and Lisa? They pull songs like this and make it their own and brings back memories I still tear up when I see the Sounds of Silence Video, they pour their heart into everything they do. Thanks for a great Post Diana

Hello Bill,
Thanks for sharing your story and the kind words.
Diana

Thank you Diana for posting a great subject. So many songs fall into this subject and so many songs touch us so much and you come to feel this song was written for you and only you. But this has become a great post with so many replys….thank you again

A song that still gives me goosebumps after about 40 years. Especially when the horn kicks in. And because it is so beautiful, Eleanor Rigby as an encore.
-
Very beautiful song David. I always find it interesting that certain songs spontaneously awaken associations and memories. Once “google” is activated in the head, then suddenly drawers are opened in the memory, which were sometimes closed and dusty for decades. It’s nice to open these drawers again and rummage around in them.
Even if the following songs are more about mourning or sadness than about broken hearts, both feelings are sometimes quite similar.
