is that "how many broken hearts so far" or for 2003 alone?

[mark martucci]

... so far...

[adelinespace]

well.. i've done as much breaking as i've had broken hearts (it's not *that* many times altogether).

i guess i would have to say, i've broken ok... now that i've counted, i've broken more that i've actually had broken myself... not that most of the time it didn't hurt to break up with people...

this is so confusing! i'd just like to state that i've felt equally as hurt in these break ups, it's just that i always somehow wind up being the one to end things... *sniff*

i have broken - sam, seth, bradley, berrick, scott.

been broken by - robin, mark.

by equal agreement - richard.

wow. i've never really thought about it like this before. the two broken hearts i've actually incurred must have been ultra painful... somehow they cancelled out (in my mind) the breaking i did in my younger years..

anyhoo

i tend to have amnesia about the girls who broke mine... but the feelings always settle at the top.

[adelinespace]

to be scooped off like the cream and mixed into a song?

yeah - that tends to be what happens with me as well. i've endured more heartache through un-romantic relationships though. mostly everything turns out ok in the end... but during the turbulance is where the songs get written..

i have a pool of that stuff to dip in whenever i need to.. the music always comes first though... and i can't really write happy songs so it always works out for the best...

[adelinespace]

yeah. me neither. if i try, it just sounds stupid and cheesy. melancholy suits me to a tee.. i think thats where the audience lies for me. i'm not making party music, i'm making headphone headspace music.

[mark martucci]

mee too. buth then again i have like 60 other bands... and you can dance to some of it. haha

[adelinespace]

cool : ) i have two projects this year.. the lady grays is with my two favorite boys, mark and mikey, and le bon bon amour is with two of my favorite girls, josie and niki. both will be dark as fuck, but lady grays is all my heart break stuff, bonbon will be all the pseudo-sexual, raunchy, death & sex stuff. more along a pj harvey influence. i can't wait!!

but anyway. i shouldn't be talkin' bout this stuff on this topic.

i ramble don't i? i have to learn to contain it!!

[mark martucci]

haha. to tell you the truth, i've always wondered what a girl broken heart song wiould sound like. i never heard a girl sing about that. odd. like i mean realy down in the dumps broken heart stuff... girls are just stronger i guess.

[adelinespace]

i've written a truckload of those kinds. www.geocities.com/adelinespace/lyrics.html

if you want examples of what it's like for a girl to be really truly heart broken, you might find one amongst them there... at least, i would hope so

[mark martucci]

i've readsome already,but i'll read some more ;D

[adelinespace]

*smiles*

'definitely' reads pretty cheesily, but it would be probably one of the hardest songs i've had to write. that goes for moon moon. well.. yeah, mostly at the core of my songs is heartbreak, death, or sex. it's a bit like that. even if it's not from personal experience, it's something that my friends have gone through..

[mark martucci]

heartbreak death and sex make the world go round!
