This is one of my big break up songs. In the midst of some horrible break ups I have often turn this song. I don’t know why we make ourselves even sadder by playing these songs but maybe it’s because we can identify with someone else who’s written in moments of emotional pain. Waking up at 7pm in the morning pouring a glass of whisky in a freezing cold flat while this song plays. Because she’s gone.
Luckily the end of the world usually only lasts for a few days.
I first heard about this song when Billy Bragg mentioned it an interview. And then I read how the album is one of the big break up albums. If I go through break ups I have a tendency to walk and with the help of the walkman I had a soundtrack to my misery. A great record though.
