Rabz’ Radio Show April Fool’s Day 2023 – Romance, love and fractured cardio organs

Cats, the topic above is what contemporary music has always revelled in. A rich vein of subject matter, so to speak.

You’re romancing a personage of the opposite sex – you listen to lots of music about that phenomenon, while imagining that nothing could ever be wrong with the world. Being incapable of thinking about anything else does this.

You’re in love – you essay a seemingly endless seam of songs about that very topic. Especially as you’ve been rendered incapable (again) of thinking about anything else, in particular, the mundanity of a former life you’ve now decreed to be irrelevant.

You’ve suddenly and inexplicably found yourself with a broken heart and here’s where it gets complicated and essayed in even more depth.

All of a sudden there is nothing worth living for. You experience joyless, sleepless and interminable nights while the jagged edges dig mercilessly into your side when you roll over.

Then you get over yourself and place those ‘orrible emotional experiences in the very deepest recesses of your mental library.

Without realising that you might hear a sound, sniff a smell, see a subliminal something, feel an object or taste a substance that immediately takes you back there.

Time remains the great healer, allegedly.

Anyway, here’s the two intro tracks:

Georgie Fame – My Girl
Time passes – Paul Weller

Let’s hear your choices covering the touchy topics above, Cats. You know you want to!

  4. You’re romancing a personage of the opposite sex

    Apologies, Cats – translated into the correct terminology:

    You’re lusting after a beautiful young woman.

    FFS, Collectivism is so insidious. 😕

  31. Long afloat on shipless oceans…

    Sirens. They still beckon in my life, Rog – and of course, I’ve not learned the essential lesson.

    Hence the latest heartbreak. 😕

  60. This goil doesn’t go away quietly …

    Except when they do, Crossie.

    The silent treatment – it burns like nothing else …

    That’s why I never suffered in silence.

  102. I loved you in the morning – Leonard Cohen but preferably sung by Judy Collins.
    Sorry – no idea how to link.

  109. I adore a really good sad song. Especially one that makes me bawl like the proverbial baby. I had Throw your arms around me playing at my mother’s funeral. I’ll Stand By You never fails to reduce me to a quivering, swollen wreck, without the input of booze.

    But I have no sad songs to sing drunkenly over the former Mr Pog. The song that completely encapsulates his character is You’re so Vain.

  110. I nominate Pogria as reserve DJ, if the current one carries on with this piking palaver.

  116. Thanks Eric.
    Bruce you rotten bugger, you had to go there didn’t you. You had to link to Crowded House. 🙁

  122. reserve DJ, if the current one carries on with this piking palaver

    Sacré bleu – you’d like to suggest some future themes?

    May is taken, BTW.

  126. Bruce,
    the Alison Krause/Vince Gill was almost too beautiful to listen to. What I also liked was this comment below the clip. Says it all;
    “mary.g Carpenter

    Gorgeous. No Boobs hanging out, no dress slit up to her crotch, no bodysuits, no stage full of backup singers and dancers, just her and her crew and she’s won 29 GRAMMYS and didn’t have to look like a high priced call girl to do it.    “

  135. It’s aged well.
