Apols! Dear Reader, I took yesterday evening off…
*’Cos I felt like it… /lights up and smokes… I didn’t half feel shattered last night…*
*Yeah, I had to cook and iron. How come you never help me with any of that stuff, Clicky?*
…Anyhoo, the ‘songs to break your heart’ challenge follows. Enjoy! ❤

Day 27: songs that break your heart
Cade’s first song pick…
As I best as my 33 & 1/3cc brain can deduce, today is (at a minimum) a combination of days 4, 9 and 10. This whole challenge thingie has wafted in and out of the tangible and intangible realms, and now it has gone and gotten downright personal. It now wants to know about tunes that may make me happy and/or sad, and it also wants to know how to conjure things in me that might be best left undisturbed. Moreover, it want’s to know how to achieve all of these things in a single swipe. Lastly, why is this particular challenge coming on Day 27?

I dunno if there is a significance of this particular challenge coming on Day 27. That said, I’m quite sure that I’m suspicious of anyone who wants to know what kinds of music breaks my heart. Especially coming on the heels of Day 26 which wanted to know about stuff that makes me want to fall in love.

Roob’s first song pick…
I don’t know that my first song choice breaks my heart as such. It is about heartbreak – spending the first night of your honeymoon in separate rooms is as cruel fuck. Or not, as the case may be, but singing along loudly with the song is kinda cathartic. Try it… Free da pain!

Cade’s second song pick…
Any paranoia I may have displayed in my previous block of text is…yeah, not really there. But it also kinda is. Kinda weird that someone out there in the world would want to know specific songs that break my heart. But, misery is said to love company, so maybe its a matter of maybe not feeling so alone. Knowing not only that your heart is broken, and what broke it, but why, as well as an assurance of “ME TOO!”, so that one does not feel so isolated and outcast. I mean, hell, the Ode To Joy movement from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony can break hearts, it just breaks hearts in a way that others can more readily identify with and will likely more openly admit. The tears in their eyes are usually a dead giveaway.

What got me off into “paranoid” types of thinking was a matter of this day’s requirements having less “overlap” and being more…pointy. That got me to thinking about all of the data collection methods used online anymore. I mean, you can’t go to a website that has a Numerology name calculator anymore. If you enter your name, the website is likely to keep it/store it, and use it in some way to make money. You do read a website’s “Privacy” page…right?

If you scroll down to the “How information of user collected” section, then read under “Online Forms”, you will notice that they say you can enter your name safely on any of their forms because they will not collect it. However…do you trust them? How would you know if they were collecting your information. More than that, what could you do about it. The English on that Privacy Policy ain’t that great which raises some legal questions, not to mention that the site owner is located in India. What does any of this have to do with music/songs that break my heart?
I dunno

Roob’s second song pick…
My second song choice is about a whole life of heartbreak…
*Fucking ‘ell, Clicky… /flicks ash… You don’t see adventure playgrounds like that anymore…*
^I’m Still Waiting^
Cade’s third song pick…
Have spent a lot of time over the past few years upending anecdotes and cliches. Such as…
“Can an infinitely powerful being create a weight so heavy, that even they cannot lift it?”
My answer was…
”Yes. But what about when they eventually can lift this weight?”
Today is not indicative of tomorrow, so what is the point of such a question other than to silence debate and/or dissent? Point being, I’m wondering here if there a difference between a song that has broken my heart, and a song that will break my heart. More than that, is there potentially a song that has broken my heart in the past, still breaks my heart now, and this song will always break my heart in the future. Do I build up a resistance. Do I grow calloused. Will the scars from where the cracks appeared eventually fade or will they always be there.

Can I potentially lift a weight tomorrow that I could not lift today?
^Alan Walker – Faded^
Roob’s third song pick…
*Ah, Bridget Jones. I love Bridget Jones. Who sang that song originally, Clicky?*
*Eric Cartman? That’s just stupid… /stubs butt…*
*Alright. Keep ya ‘air on…*
^Eric Carmen – All By Myself (Audio)^
The final word to Roob Clicky…
^Blur – Coffee and TV^

Three more days of challenges left, Dear Reader…
*/squints… Day 29 sounds like another crack at Day 12…*

Never apologise for a late post, RooB, your readers always appreciate your & Cade’s collaborations.
For once, I had a response prepared last night, and waited & waited and fell asleep!
So here it is – perhaps Yann Tiersen’s best-known effort – with an animation as a bonus:

My brother Charlie was involved in one of the programmes for Seven Up when he was at Granada. He said it was incredibly emotional.
And this seems to fit.
