Tuesday Tunes: Lonesome Tears

Lonesome Tears by Beck takes me back to living in a small apartment in Scarsdale, NY with my husband, new baby and two cats.  Beck is not the cheeriest songwriter in the world, but the album this song is taken from, Sea Change is well worth listening to.  I played it the night after my beautiful cat, Beetle, was put to sleep at only two years old.  He had kidney failure!

Now I am not a big cat lover, but Beetle was special...he just got into my heart and was my 'baby'.  (Don't worry, I loved my real baby a whole lot more and in a very different way.)  But my lovely little, kooky cat had left me and I was really sad.  Driving home from a class I was taking, Lonesome Tears came on and I just pulled over and blubbed my eyes out! I still can't listen to it without thinking about my Beetle.

I recommend ignoring the video (I don't like it much) but just closing your eyes and listening to the song...that is the best way to enjoy it!
