It's #tunetuesday , and you know what that means! This week's theme is #Loveyouloveyounot - songs you love but can't bear to listen to.

I loved Final Fantasy X-2 as a teen/early twentysomething, but I can't listen to the main song from the game anymore. It hurts too much to remember that time.

"I know that you're hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily"

Jade - 1000 Words (FFX-2)

Former lead singer Adamson no longer with us- hard to listen to this song, now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Adamson

Hey all,

Another late #tunetuesday and #loveyouloveyounot

Hmmmmm, I’ll opt for the overplayed choice over cancelled artist song.

And yes can’t get through the first few seconds of You can call me Al by Paul Simon.

Yes, it’s a great song, but I must have listened to it to saturation point growing up, and I don’t think I’ve listened to it willingly since.

Shame, as it is a classic that many love and admire.

Enjoy? 😊

I'll play this tune by a fellow birthday boy that has more than a little colonialism in its acerbic lyrics but is still a damn good rocking song.

Today it's songs you love but don't listen to.

I used to be a huge Genesis fan, and still think fondly of their music, at least before they turned pop. But progressive rock isn't really something I listen to anymore.

Perhaps a better candidate for #tunetuesday #loveyouloveyounot is this sweet, sexy, heartfelt ballad. It was the theme tune for my relationship with Red. I thought she was the one. She set me on fire, reawakened me. We dreamt about the rest of our lives together. And then it all went to shit. I used to sing this song to her over FaceTime when we were literally oceans apart. It’s a beautiful song and a tough listen now.

Ok #TuneTuesday theme of #LoveYouLoveYouNot - songs you love but can't bear to listen to.
I’m struggling to relate to this one but it got me thinking about #ThomYorke, #radiohead and #atomsforpeace. Through my 20s and 30s I listened to those bands relentlessly - you know how morose and dark they are… well unsurprisingly I was suicidally depressed so their music just personified me. Now I’m a bit better I’m not so fanatically attached to them. So I offer Unless.

#TuneTuesday is tough this week. 😅 As I've mentioned before "Baby Mine" from Dumbo will absolutely destroy me emotionally so I avoid it.

There was also a time after the break-up of a long relationship that I couldn't listen to *any* Concrete Blonde, much less one song. It was "our" band, y'know? Thankfully that madness has passed and I happily listen to them again.

I don't know what ruined Ain't No Sunshine for me - maybe it was American Idol. Anyway, I can barely even tolerate the Bill Withers version. We don't need more versions of this song.

I was struggling to think of a great song that I can’t listen to any more, but then this one came to mind. It’s about that horrible time during the pandemic when we couldn’t even hug people outside of our bubbles or say goodbye to friends who were dying.

Murder Machines by Marillion (https://song.link/gb/i/1593404687)

Today's #TuneTuesday theme is #LoveYouLoveYouNot
A month before my first marriage, I took my fiancée to see the Val Kilmer Batman movie. (This was probably a mistake).
Roughly a year and a half later, we were still sharing a studio apt. but headed for divorce. She had fallen for a guy who looked like Seal and started playing “Kiss From A Rose” fifty thousand times a day.
If you've never been slowly driven mad by a romantic power ballad, I don't recommend it.

1-This is a song Fight Club stole from me and my friends:

Where Is My Mind?

2-When I was a kid, this was amazing:

Rock of Ages

3-One day, I realized no relationship had made me as upset as Trent Reznor:

Up Above It
https://youtu.be/uXdIc8TZKcA

4&5:
These two albums were inescapable when they hit it big:

Smells Like Teen Spirit

My offering this week is Muffin Man by Frank Zappa. Strange intro, fantastic incredible meaty guitar riffs and solos but I end up going around rest of the day muttering “yeah you thought he was a man but he was a muffin”….

Second choice is, fittingly, from a long-time Joni collaborator. My wife introduced me to Brandi Carlile. Still can't listen to this without sobbing. Fucking epic vocals for an epic song.

Ok, I'm going to choose two songs for this week's #TuneTuesday theme of #LoveYouLoveYouNot - songs you love but can't bear to listen to.

Number one is this. I mean, I'm just flawed by it every time. And never the chipper 1969 version, but the I've-been-battered-by-life sweeping orchestral version from 2000.

First thing that came to mind for today's #TuneTuesday #LoveYouLoveYouNot

Makes me happy to see all 4 Pixies still happy to play together
