DeadSplinter Up! All Night: You Missed My Heart

Apologies if I picked this up from another DUANster; it has been on heavy rotation for me this past week. I must hand it to the vocals and writing-craft of Mark Kozelek, of the band Sun Kil Moon, because his lyrics evoke a feeling of sympathy for the songs’ stalking, murdering, ex-boyfriend.

You missed my heart, you missed my heart, You got me good, I knew you would, But you missed my heart, you missed my heart, Were his last words before he died.

Here is the Mark Kozelek and Jimmy Lavalle version from their 2013 collaboration Perils From the Sea:

And here is the arguably more popular Phoebe Bridgers version (although not with me; high pitched voices like this hurt my ears):

  1. Here’s song from Heart that gets no airplay (that I know of) and it really should.  The album it’s from “The Road Home” is a lesser celebrated treat too.
    (Up On) Cherry Blossom Road – Heart


     

  2. Murderous ex lovers

    David Bromberg – Delia. I prefer the slower tempo than the original by Blind Willie McTell.

     

     

     

    I know I’ve posted this before but I’m a big Kirsty MacColl fan, may she rest in peace.  And I love her version of Miss Otis Regrets, backed by The Pogues.
