QotD: Top 5 Break-Up Songs
Vox, vox...5 break up songs? Sheesh. A song that signifies a break up to one person could just as easily mean love an devotion to another! And 5? I've had many relationships but I did not put each one to music. I guess it would all depend on whether you are the breaker or the broken, eh? Ok, here you go vox, a few songs I've cried too.
First - the TOONS - This album came out in 1982. I designed the cover and art directed the photo shoot. My (then) husband was their recording engineer and I was - their friend. A bit more perhaps to one of them. It left me feeling sad a lot of the time, but I would not change a thing about my past. The Toons were a part of it and I loved them and their music.
The song "where are you tonight"- was written my by friend and one night at his house he was playing and singing it and I sang along. From then on I would be invited up on stage when the Toons were performing to sing harmony to this song. I adored this song. Then something happened that made it impossible to sing with them. I was in the audience, and ignored. It broke my heart. Not that I was no longer singing this song, but that I had been "broken up with" and yet - was there ever anything to break up from? Not in my mind. These were my friends. I still consider them my friends. I loved that time in my life and I always will.
