How to say goodbye
One of the problems with the Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs is that it contains 69 songs. 69 is a pretty huge number. I could post a song every week from the album, and it'd take me a year and four months to get through to "Zebra". I've owned it for 9 years, and there are still songs that I'm only just discovering. "How to say goodbye" is one of these. I'm not sure I've ever heard a song that's so angry and so sad at the same time.
I'm overjoyed to hear about your wedding.
I'm writing you to wish you every blessing.
And I'm so happy I could cry,
Oh baby, you know how to say goodbye.
And here's a happier song, that I've loved for a long time.
So you share secrets with Lou,
But we've got secrets too!
Well, one -
I only keep this heap for you...
