Highly Recommended Breakup Album
Find a Conversation
| Sat, 01-13-2007 - 1:45am |
I broke up with my boyfriend yesterday. I decided I needed to find an album that would say what I feel. I lucked upon KT Tunstall's "Eye to the Telescope" at Target and I decided to buy it off of the song titles alone (and because I pretty much like "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" and "Suddenly I See", even though those are upbeat songs). I was listening to it today and I had not expected for it to turn out to be such a sensitive album. Almost every song is about breaking up or a relationship that didn't work out. The songs are slow and beautiful.
Here are the lyrics to my favorite song off of this album, it's called "Heal Over":
It isn't very difficult to see why
You are the way you are
Doesn't take a genius to realize
That sometimes life is hard
It's gonna take time
But you'll just have to wait
You're gonna be fine
But in the meantime
Come over here lady
Let me wipe your tears away
Come a little nearer baby
Coz you'll heal over
Heal over
Heal over someday
And I don't wanna hear you tell yourself
That these feelings are in the past
You know it doesn't mean they're off the shelf
Because pain is built to last
Everybody sails alone
But we can travel side by side
Even if you fail
You know that no one really minds
Come over here lady
Let me wipe your tears away
Come a little nearer baby
Coz you'll heal over
Heal over
Heal over someday
Don't hold on but don't let go
I know it's so hard
You've got to try to trust yourself
I know it's so hard, so hard
I recommend this album, or at least this song (maybe you can download it off the internet) to anyone who is going through a breakup. Best wishes and good luck to all of you who are going through this just like me, whether you dumped him/her or whether he/she dumped you.
