Ultimate Break Up Song?

#83
A little off the beaten path but I love this song from Steven Wilson, and in particular Tony Levin's gorgeous melodic bass line.



Well that’s something that you’re laughing at me
And I hope you know what it is that you’re laughing about
'Cause it wont be long now ’til they’re reeling you in
The same situation, the same disappointment you bring
So I hope you’re happy with the impression you made
Deep in denial, like you planned it this way
But you’re lost to me
Like dust I have cleared from my eye
Your words have no meaning
So I stare up into the sky

Breathe in now
Breathe out now

So Miley got a shout out for her nice 50 ways cover of Paul Simon. She's actually a talented little pop princess, imo ... Disney's a long way behind her at this point. And her godmother Dolly thinks well of her, so that's a good endorsement.

Miley's own breakup song, "Flowers", probably merits a mention. And, being a response to Bruno Mars' breakup song, "When I Was Your Man", there's a ripe opportunity for mashups of the two.

So here's my favorite mashup of these rwo breakup songs, done with a light humorous touch, with great playing and musicality. Sara's gettin' jiggy wit it, and even gives a shout out to the bass player :).(beautiful instrument, btw). Fun!

It's a treat when a thread goes 5 pages and the first song to mind for me hasn't been mentioned (just got back from Tennessee or I might not have thought of it).
"This ain't gonna be the first time this ol' cowboy has spent the night alone"
