Re: Mix CD (had to share)
He also scored a hit with "Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town", which I always found to be dark and heavy. Although written by Mel Tillis, to get people singing along to a song, about a paralyzed war veteran who has to listen to his wife slut it up and go out to town to pick up a man, while he lies in bed slowly dying... is like... whoa. Serious shit. It's all the more tragic and that it was based on a true story.
Amazing people sing along to it and clap to it, and the real-life guy the song was based about, he eventually killed the wife, then killed himself.
Re: Mix CD (had to share)
there is always songs about infidelity at weddings...never understand that
I'm not quite sure I get it either. I guess it's the thought of "so this is it, the only person you're supposed to be with forever"
And they say it like it's a real bummer. Then... uh... don't get fuckin' married?
Then the flip side is everyone looking for the hookup, because they feel alone when they aren't getting married, yet their friends are.
I just stopped going to them. Everyone seemed to hate the fact they were there, and by the end of the night everyone's drunk and talking about how no one loves them... it's a real drag.
Re: Mix CD (had to share)
To me all this just goes to show how many people only listen to the hook of a song, but pay no attention to the rest of it. 99 out of 100 people who could sing the chorus of Coward of the County/Every Breath You Take/and so on, have no idea what they're actually about.
As a music geek that really irritates me, but I've gotten to the point to realise I'm the odd man out, not them.
I don't say, "What do you mean you don't love Willie Nelson, Tom Waits, and Motorhead? What are you wierd or something?", nearly as often as I used to.
