We’ve got a different CD player now and so tonight we are here listening to the two versions of this song, which is about divorce. If it weren’t so hateful, the song might almost feel like an attempt to climb out of the undertow and get a breath of air: it’s got recognizable situations, phrases from real life, the human touch. But it sticks its head up above the self-absorbed, inward-gazing morass only to draw attention to the immeasurable depth of it all. This is a mean thing to do.
