i sat in front of my record box
thinking what i could play
just to rip at my wounded heart
that little bit more
what could i put on
that would shriek all knife like
straight between my ribs
what record can i choose to crush me
what record will see me break
what song could i choose
to maybe ease the ache
i was thinking Love In Vain
by The Ruts
a little to final and abrupt
Closer by Nine Inch Nails
ouch
i felt that touch
Barbed Wire Love
by Stiff Little Fingers
every scratch burns
and the hurt just lingers
Kylie Minogue
Can’t Get You Out Of My Head
now i can’t even can’t even
can’t even get out of bed
i’m searching for that one song
i’m looking high and feeling low
triggering myself left right
and fucking centre
trying to find that elusive tune
knowing i will find more hurt
and maybe a little peace
that one song that says everything
that says nothing
that one song
that will truly melt my heart
cause we all know
i’m gonna pick
Love Will Tear Us Apart

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

"what record can i choose to crush me what record will see me break what song could i choose to maybe ease the ache"- I tend to go for the really lowest of blows to get me through tough times, but the music always seems to help me.
Loved the flow smooth, thoughtful, and engaging from start to finish.
Funny thing though, these songs that annihilate us now, will one day be our weapons. My best advice is experience, collect them., memorize and take aim. Another smash poem, B
Music hath charm to soothe the savage beasts … Yet is festooned too with barbs to pierce the soul and rend the heart.
