I think the real stand-out track there is Elaine... I don't know
if you've got Rainmaker, but almost everyone HATES that track...
but if you look at it from the viewpoint of it discussing an
ex-girlfriend or something, it's suddenly got the single-most hilarious
lyrics EVER. Here she comes again, smiling like a horse Here she comes again, dancin like clown The world is a cruel affair Here she comes again, dressing like a clown (chorus) Here she comes again, smiling like a horse The world is a cruel affair They say it's the inside that matters Fly by strange little bird fly by......................fly home Oh, and for felona and felona only... click http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1WO6F3BUYPPD82M1Q32J4NU253 - here to get the Agalloch stuff...  ------------- https://soundcloud.com/erin-susan-jennings" rel="nofollow - Bedroom guitarist".

The number one album for this occasion is of course: Peter Hammill - Over
The whole album deals with the topic of breaking up from various angles. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

| Peter Hammill's 'Over' album is an obvious one that comes to mind, especially the tracks 'Betrayed' and 'Time Heals', but every track is full of the misery of heartbreak. Although lyrically depressing, it's a great album. |

OK...this isn't really prog as it is after they sold their souls to become pop, but Genesis' Mama does it for me. Other great breakup songs are Fish's Shadowplay; Script; again not really prog but BOC's Shooting Shark; Black Sabbath's Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (oh wait, that's not a breakup song); oh and Marillion's Cinderella Search. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |
