After, the Breakup, You Just Fade Away

Spread the love

Lemont’s been listening to some classic Eric Clapton, apparently.

The fear that you’ll just fade away after a breakup is one of life’s many little deaths that foreshadows the final thing. That’s why it hurts the way it does; it’s downright existential.

    You have no idea how poignant the FB strip is at the mmoment.

    Ever listen to National Lampoon's "Deteriorata?" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey6ugTmCYMk)

    I used to have a CD labeled "Pit Music."

    "The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
    and it feels so good to hurt so bad
    And suffer just enough to sing the blues"

      There is something to that. I was searching for songs that would inspire this week, and I came across a discussion forum. One guy asked for the saddest breakup songs around. He wrote "…not something that'll help me get over it, but something that'll help me *wallow* in it for a while. It's not often you feel something this deep. Sort of makes you feel more alive."
