Friday Night is Music Night: Heartbreak, tradgedy and Pain

[jhawk]

Farking hell, why did you have to go there!

Alright, I'll bite.

This was Mum's funeral song.

And this was a song I listened to on-repeat after my first break-up:

"Did I disappoint you? Or let you down? Should I be feeling guilty, or let the judges frown?"

And then there's this @$$hole of a good song. Right in the feels, spent many a minute listening to it during the "Just get over the b!tch" phase.

Very Poignant war song

This is my favourite war song. Right up there with "Green Fields of France".

Apologies in advance...

I liked the Johnny Cash version but I think I like this better..

I liked the Johnny Cash version but I think I like this better..

It's funny but I am a huge Johnny Cash fan and love his later raw edged work but I just never got the fuss surrounding his version of that. Just didn't work for me.

And this is a good song, a real melancholy feel to it, a very simple lyric sung by a great singer. This was written by Leo friggin' Sayer...

A jolly little song about domestic abuse. The video has however dropped this story and gone for a cheating boyfriend story instead -

The lyrics on their own away from the song are quite chilling.

I don't like it when you break me honey
Why'd you have to do that?
Tell me when you'll make these tears keep falling
Do you feel like a man?

Figure, figure there's no working you out whatsoever
Only one way I can sum you up altogether
You got a black heart

Daddy I've fallen for a monster
Somehow he's scaring me to death
He's big and he's bad
I love him like mad
Momma, he's the best I ever had
Daddy I've fallen for a monster
He got a black heart

No walls to build around me honey
'Cause you blew my house down
Sticks and stones won't put it back up for me
And that's where we're at now

Sicker, sicker, I ain't feeling your mouth whatsoever
Naming hurts me more than weight thrown around but whatever
You got a black heart

We're all such a cheerful lot.

And, of course, there is the classic...

 

[Glow worm]

Sympathy - Rare Bird.
I remember a 80's pirate radio station in London called LMR used this as their closedown theme
(On rare nights when they hadn't been raided that is) .

 

[Glow worm]

There's more than enough pain and misery in this one to last a lifetime.
