the politics of sad

if you're feeling sad (romantically that is, not due to hurricanes or disasters)


where's the justice and where's the sense, when all the pain is on my side of the fence


 

prince wrote it but this is the extraordinary version






another cover.  joy division fans won't admit it, but this slow version is how the song was meant to be sung



so many fine versions to pick from . . .  except the one I really wanted



john gorka live


by the way how is my heart, I haven't seen it since you left.  I'm almost sure it followed you, could you sometime send it back.  I'll buy the ticket



no one does sad better than Zevon


gotta stop at two though



need a little country sound too,  two angels, one bad end


the amazing rhythm aces live version isn't out there . . .  no amount of money could ever take away the pain of loving you




so I throw this one on to get some aces



johnny mars was warming up in the studio and billy bragg recorded it and added new lyrics  I went home and thought about the two of them together til the bath water went cold around me.  I thought about her eyes and the curve of her breasts and the point where their bodies met



of course some willie




a little silly but great lyrics


 I didn't know how sad this was until Liliana told me


thought I'd throw in something recorded after 2000



bitter and sad



I used it in another post and its more Zevon but you can't help but have Zevon here



how you gonna make your way in this world woman when you weren't cut out for working



 every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end




from blood on the tracks, bob's divorce album  (since we started with Richard's)



he was dying when he sung this.  you can hear it in his voice
