"She's not lonely at all"

"Won't do no good asking no questions"

Taylor Swift: Dear John
"I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you've ever been, someone kicked you even lower?" (John Mayer/www.rollingstone.com)  "Careful, John -- she's back in the studio, and more than capable of writing a sequel" (Matt Donnelly/Los Angeles Times)  "John sings, You’re like 22 girls in one / And none of them know what they're running from." (www.countryweekly.com)
"you aRe an expert at sorrY
and keeping lines blurry"

TV on the Radio: Don't love you
"klagt und tröstet, kündigt die Apokalypse an und akzeptiert das offensichtlich Unvermeidliche" (Jonathan Fischer) "this is high fashion for those left cold in the dark months" (www.drownedinsound.com) "Always humorless, sometimes sententious. All told, pretty dull" (Robert Christgau)
"oh aching bones on sleepless bed
they toss and turn and roll away
from words unsaid"

Mumford & Son: I gave you all
"about a bitter parting of ways and an even more bitter emotional defeat" (#JUS 'GIV'ER/genius.com) "he gave her all of his heart, and just because of one mistake she is throwing it all away."  "Wenn der Familienbetrieb Mumford & Sons ein Motto hat, dann ist es wohl dieses hier: "Where you invest your love / You invest your life."" (Ina Simone Mautz/www.plattentests.de) (shawn/goatinakitchen.blogspot.de)
"I never meant you any harm"

Trio: Kummer
"melancholisch rüde Abgesänge auf die alten Themen wie Liebe, Schmerz und Sehnsucht" (Ulrich Greiner) "nicht direkt kaputt - eher gebrochen" (Wiener) "Danach verlas Melanie ein berührendes Memorandum für Kralle, während Michel leise „Kummer“ zupfte."  (Megafon/Bericht Triologentreffen 2014)
"Tränen  oooh Tränen
weil ich sie nicht wiederseh
niemals mehr wiederseh"

Bob Dylan: Love Sick
"man muß tief unten sein, um so glücklich zu scheinen" (Konrad Heidkamp)  "ein so düsteres und dunkles Werk" (Greil Marcus) "The speaker here isn't sick because he loves too much; on the contrary, he's not afraid to love."  (Rachel Hodin/www.thoughtcatalog.com)
"I spoke like a child; you destroyed me with a smile
While I was sleeping"

The Byrds: Mr. Tambourine Man
"...more abstract imagery, often suggesting a search for liberation from both external and internal prisons" (www.richieunterberger.com) "Roger McGuinn ("We were pioneers - with arrows in our backs.")... Drogengetränkt zieht er sein Ding durch"  (www.laut.de)  "a troubled artist who never gained the recognition he truly deserved" (John Einarson über Gene Clark)
"I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming"

Dolly Parton  Linda Ronstadt  Emmylou Harris: Telling me Lies
"und das ganze Elend mit der Liebe, die doch wieder nur mit Tränen, Schmerz und Tod endet" (Franz Schöler)  "I do think Ronstadt is at her best in 'Telling Me Lies', a very powerful song about broken relationships." (Kindle Costumer/amazon.com)  "Linda has Parkinson's disease. She can't sing, anymore." (Dave Wollenberg on YouTube)
"You don't know what a chance is
Until you have to seize one"

Sigur Rós: untitled 6 (E-Bow)
"...aus ewig wiederholten Wörtern besteht, die - magischen Sehnsuchtsformeln gleich - die Sprache anhalten und zum Stillstand bringen" (Konrad Heidkamp) "And was hit with the sadness, and happiness, that I was the only one seeing this moment with blessed eyes."(SoZooCaballero on YouTube) "Auf jeden Fall: Elfenhaft. Elbengleich. Irrlichternd. Hobbitmäßig. Einfach. Sauber. Gut. Traurig. Schön. Nicht von dieser Welt. Wunderschön." (Lars Langenau und Friederike Grasshoff/SZ)

Jolie Holland: Wandering Angus
"gedenkt sie etwa... ihrer gestorbenen Lieben, und entlässt uns mit einem hinterhergeschickten Pfeifen" (Jonathan Fischer)  "I'm going to share the tune that grabbed me from the moment I heard it, by American songstress Jolie Holland. Dream on!" (John Eastgate/Blog Painting Fakes)"The second part is to me only slightly less appealing" (www.psychedelicfolk.com)
"Who called me by my name and ran        
And faded through the brightening air"

Sigur Rós: Popplagio (Track 8)
