MUSICAL NOTES THIS WEEK:
- All songs about Hurtin' and Healin' tonight;
- Best parts of lonely indeed. Why is it so nice to relish in loneliness sometimes?
- Van Morrison -- breaking and healing your heart all at the same time;
- A song about a couple married longer than most people have been alive = super sad;
- One of my favourite Bob Dylan covers courtesy of Oh Susanna;
- Thanks to Neko Case for writing one of my all-time favourite ultra-sad songs. Sometimes I think it's entirely about me;
- I think a boy made me practically wear out my copy of Essence. Stupid boys...
- When Leona Naess sings the "please come back to me" line I'm incapable of not getting misty eyed....
- Man have you ever looked at the lyrics for "April 8th" -- it's frigging crazy sad!!!!!!
- "I hope you're with someone who makes you feel safe in your sleep." Ultimate sad break-up lyric. Swoon!
- Remember in Juno when they play Sea of Love?? Such a sweet/super sad scene. Yup, I cried...
- If I was Mandy Moore, I'd make Ryan Adams sing me "Cry on Demand" every single day or else DIVORCE!!

Indeed music helps. There were a lot of tears, but music is a huge part of my life, and was a love of my mother's. My deepest thanks for tonight's show T-bone.
