description:
THE BROKEN HEART.
by John Donne




He is stark mad, whoever says,
That he hath been in love an hour,
Yet not that love so soon decays,
But that it can ten in less space devour ;
Who will believe me, if I swear
That I have had the plague a year?
Who would not laugh at me, if I should say
I saw a flash of powder burn a day?

Ah, what a trifle is a heart,
If once into love's hands it come !
All other griefs allow a part
To other griefs, and ask themselves but some ;
They come to us, but us love draws ;
He swallows us and never chaws ;
By him, as by chain'd shot, whole ranks do die ;
He is the tyrant pike, our hearts the fry.

If 'twere not so, what did become
Of my heart when I first saw thee?
I brought a heart into the room,
But from the room I carried none with me.
If it had gone to thee, I know
Mine would have taught thine heart to show
More pity unto me ; but Love, alas !
At one first blow did shiver it as glass.

Yet nothing can to nothing fall,
Nor any place be empty quite ;
Therefore I think my breast hath all
Those pieces still, though they be not unite ;
And now, as broken glasses show
A hundred lesser faces, so
My rags of heart can like, wish, and adore,
But after one such love, can love no more.



I'm shamefully admitting this is just part one of the mix.

Track 6 from Lips That Taste of Tears
Length: 00:03:50
Year: 1998
Track Description:
Oh, if one song sums up the pain of what I'm trying to express, then this is it:

If I knew you didn't miss me
If I knew you didn't think of me
If I knew your feelings for me were dead and buried
It would be hard, but not as hard as
This knowing you still care
It would be easier than knowing
There's still something there

I know how you don't need this
But I just can't keep quiet
You've left me feeling so lost
Where do I go with it?
I know you have a new life
I know you're not unhappy
I know that he's good to you
But don't you just want things easy?

So go ahead and hate me
I know I promised I would leave it
A troublemaker's what you've made me
But can't you see we're worth it?
We just belong together
I think somewhere inside you know it
Would you admit it ever?
I just don't think it's complicated

Life shouldn't be about
"I'm happy, but..."
I just think you should chase
Specialness
For love

I guess all I'm really saying
Is how I think you're wrong here
And some things are worth the chaos
That they come along with

Don't you want more?
Don't you want to burn?
Burn again?

Track 1 from I See Me 7"
Length: 00:02:50
Year: 1966
Track Description:
I don't know what to make of this guy that she seems to have chosen to rebound with. I really don't. He's the complete opposite of her ex-husband, so I guess that's a classic rebound guy, but I still don't see it lasting for more than a summer or a year tops. Who knows? Anyway, this great little ditty from an obscure Texas band hits the mark quite rightly.

Track 3 from Look Sharp!

Year: 1979
Track Description:
It's just a question. Ok, it's like this, the couple that we make is more like Jim Carrey and Kate Winslett in The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Not that I'm that shy or she's that insecure and impulsive, but if I had to choose a movie couple that we're most like, then that's my choice. This new guy...well, he's a lead singer in a mediocre blues bar band. I think it's a no-risk venture for her, which is what she might need right now...who knows, anyway....

Track Description:
Sort of a New Order rip-off, but I like it anyway. The rest of their album is so 90's, which makes sense because they're a 90's band. I guess they opened for My Bloody Valentine in Australia, so that's not too bad.

Track 5 from Beautiful garbage

Year: 2001
Track Description:
How do agree to be friends when they say you were always the one who got away, but their feelings are too intense, so they're going out with someone without any history whatsoever. Of course you agree because not agreeing would mean losing them completely and that would be too much to bear right now.

Track 8 from High Priestess of Soul
Length: 00:02:21
Year: 1966
Track Description:
I hold no grudge
There's no resentment und'neath
I'll extend the laurel wreath and we'll be friends
But right there is where it ends

I hold no grudge
And I'll forgive you your mistake
But forgive me if I take it all to heart
And make sure that it doesn't start again

Yes I'm the kind of people
You can step on for a little while
But when I call it quits
Baby that's it
I'm the kind of people
You can hurt once in a while
But crawling just ain't my style

I hold no grudge
Deep inside me there's no regrets
But a gal who's been forgotten may forgive
But never once forget

I wish I could have this attitude, but it feels like there is so much unfinished between us.

Track 6 from Hyacinths and Thistles
Length: 00:02:29
Year: 1999
Track Description:
I was my best self with her. Why did she seek me out after all these years and give me the best month and a half of my life only to say that her feelings are too strong for me, but we should still be friends while she's going out with someone else. She didn't say to wait for her, which was rather adult of her; it's still too cruel, but she's out of a ten year relationship so I guess you do some emotionally erratic things? I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt because she's been so brutally honest about things and we have so much together. Still hurts like nothing else.
