Favorite lines ....
"Margaret comes to take him home again
Through unforgiving streets that trip him, though she holds his arm
Sometimes he thinks he's alone and he calls her name."
Hasten Down the Wind by Warren Zevon ..... I was introduced to Warren Zevon's music when he opened in a 1976 or 77 concert in Portland for Jackson Browne. I ran out and bought his (sorta) debut album the next day. Zevon could rock and he could write some aching ballads. This is one of his most aching ballads. Also recorded by Linda Ronstadt.
Favorite lines ....
"So he's hanging on to half her heart
He can't have the restless part
So he tells her to hasten down the wind."

No Regrets by Tom Rush ..... A parting of two people. The title says it all. He has a couple of versions on records. One a gentler, more acoustic recording and the other with an screaming electric guitar. Both are powerful.
Favorite lines ....
"Our friends have tried to turn my nights to day
Strange faces in your place can't keep the ghosts away
Just beyond the darkest hour, just behind the dawn
Still feels so strange to lead my life, alone."
