ATF: For Better or Worse

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

The Wedding Song

Mary MacGregor

He is now to be among you

At the calling of your hearts

Rest assured this troubadour

Is acting on His part

The union of your spirits here

Has caused Him to remain

For whenever two or more of you

Are gathered in His name

There is Love

There is Love

Well a man shall leave his mother

And a woman leave her home

And they shall travel on to where

The two shall be as one

As it was in the beginning

Is now and 'til the end

Woman draws her life from man

And gives it back again

And there is Love

There is Love

Well then what's to be the reason

For becoming man and wife

Is it Love that brings you here

Or Love that brings you life

And if loving is the answer

Then who's the giving for

Do you believe in something

That you've never seen before

Oh there is Love

There is Love

The Breakup Song

Greg Kihn

We had broken up for good

Just an hour before

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

And now I'm starin’ at the bodies

As they're dancin’ across the floor

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

And then the band slowed the tempo

And the music took me down

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

It was the same old song

With a melancholy sound

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

They don't write 'em like that anymore

They just don't write 'em like that anymore

We'd been living together

For a million years

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

But now it feels so strange

Out in the atmospheres

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

And then the jukebox plays a song

I used to know

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

And now I'm starin’ at the bodies

As they're dancin’ so slow

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

They don't write 'em like that anymore

They don't write 'em like that anymore

Now I'm windin’ up

Starin’ at an empty glass

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Cause it's so easy to say

That you'll forget your past

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

They don't write 'em like that anymore

No

They just don't write 'em like that anymore

Oh they don't write 'em like that anymore

They just don't write 'em like that anymore

They just don't

No they don't

No no

Uh-uh,

They just don't write 'em like that anymore

They just don't...
