@filmfann : I love Linda LOVE LOVE Linda…but to put a finer point on that tune, Garry White wrote it I believe.

It’s kinda shameful how many of these I can think of.

The Case Continues – Ute Lemper
Paper Bag – Fiona Apple
Missed – PJ Harvey

and then there’s heartbreaks like this…

Love Song – Andrew Jackson Jihad

Orbison. You need Roy Orbison. “In Dreams”. “It’s Over”.

Angus and Julia Stone – All of Me

Frank Sinatra – Why Try To Change Me Now?

Fiona Apple – Love Ridden

Actually.. now that I’ve started thinking about it, I have several more suggestions. What sort of music do you like?

I feel like my age is showing. I don’t know who most of those artists are…. but the Angus & Julia song came out in 2007. That’s kinda recent. I think. lol.

Check our William Fitzsimmons The Sparrow and the Crow (2009). He is a therapist who went into the music business and did a chronical of his divorce on the above album. Although parts are repetitive, some of the duets between the two people on a few songs are amazing. Joshua Radin also has some really good heartbreak material.

@janedelila Good call on Roy Orbison! My favorite is Crying , tho I prefer the Don McLean version.

George Jones, “He Stoppped Loving Her Today!”

Tom Petty + The Heartbreakers – I Should Have Known it.

janedelila's avatar

@BoBo1946 careful with that one. Some of us have had husbands and boyfriends die and that one will break a heart.

BoBo1946's avatar

@janedelila oh, without saying! Understood! Having said that, it is a great song!

Other than the classics…
