Day 7: “Only love can break your heart” – Play something inspired by heartbreak, or that got you through a rough patch.

Neil Young - Zuma

I bought this album on CD (back when I still collected those) years ago. A few days after getting it, I went through a particularly bad breakup. The CD stayed in my truck and accompanied me for the next several weeks everywhere I went. It was hell on earth during that period, but when I was driving around, Neil Young helped me escape for a little bit.

Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever Amen
This record (#5 on my N&G Top 50) explores heartbreak from two distinct angles. Raw and angry on Song for the Dumped and eloquent and reflective on Selfless, Cold and Composed. Both are apt.

Sufjan Stevens - The Ascension

Where Carrie & Lowell is the sound of a heart broken by the death of a loved one, this is an album about a heart broken by a country and world, and maybe even a God, that keep finding new ways to betray the faith he had put in them.
