But my heart won't buy it"

Uriah Heep: Come away Melinda
"From the first note you know you don't want to hear any more." (Melissa Mills, zit.  capewood.blogspot.de) "Ironically enough, a heavy metal band slowed down a folk song!
I remember an old folksinger (Peter Yarrow?) saying recently that he would put happy music to the saddest lyrics otherwise the song would be so depressing no one would want to hear it." (Ken Gale's Pages) "Noch älter ist der traurige Song am Anfang der Sendung" (www.daserste.de/Die "Druckfrisch"-Musiktitel vom 29.09.2013)
"Come in and close the door.
It's nothing, just a picture book"

"And we only do what's best for one another"

Ryan Adams: The Bar is a beautiful Place

(IViewMusic on Youtube) "a piece of music that will raise the hairs on the back of your neck."  (www.getyourmelancholyon.com)
"I got a cold in my heart that the doctor can’t feel"

Tarwater: the point about reality
"Das Problem liegt nicht in dem, was man sagt, sondern in dem, was man nicht sagt" (Konrad Heidkamp) "There's always some stir, some light, some sound, then they stop, and there's only dark silence" (robert lax) "...als ob er sich schämte oder fürchtete oder eine abscheu hätte vor dem was er einmal geschrieben hatte.." (Hartmut Geerken)
"The point about dreams is that they are reality"

Kandlbauer: The Reason within

August 27, 1990, Also killed: Bobby Brooks, (Eric Clapton's agent), Colin Smythe (Clapton's assistant tour manager), Nigel Browne (Clapton's bodyguard) Clapton and blues guitar legend Vaughan had just finished an extraordinary set at a blues festival,  when Stevie Ray learned of a seat aboard Clapton's helicopter that would allow him to get home sooner. A combination of fog, haze, and a man-made ski slope the pilot was unfamiliar with ended Vaughan's life soon after." (www.oldies.about.com) "Hier wirkt es einfach nur hingeschludert."

"To treat me this way"

Dead Can Dance: Ulysses
"düster und bedrohlich... mit zunehmender Album-Dauer fade und langweilig" (mi/Musikexpress) "It's just too sad. I can't handle sad music the way I used to," (Dobermensch/rateyourmusic) "Mein Schatz und ich waren beide ziemlich geschockt als sich das Duo auflöste," (Nnordy/www.nachtwelten.de)

The fact of our leaving"
