“A Certain Girl” is an old Yardbirds song… so maybe Zevon’s use of the word “chick” is ironic (especially since he practically spits out the word like he’s cursing).

For unrequited love songs, check out John Wetton’s Hold Me Now from his Battle Lines album. Wetton claims he wrote it for his mum. But to my knowledge he has never elaborated on whether the song is supposed to be from the perspective of his mum and about her not being loved by his father or if the song is from his perspective and is about his mother not loving him. If it’s the latter it makes the song even more heart-wrenching.

“Hold me now and let me believe in a kiss that means nothing to you, ’cause it means the world to me”

If that’s not a slobberknocker of an emotional wallop, I don’t know what is.

People end up here who are searching for unrequited love. The search terms that land folks on my site are often, not surprisingly, pajamas – but, Marvin Gaye pajamas? Meatloaf pajamas? Drinking in pajamas?

Anyhow, wonderful post (as usual).

Really enjoyed these – thanks. Along similar lines I’d recommend The Hoodoo Gurus’ Hayride To Hell.

I have listened to the original of “Got My Mind Set On You” repeatedly ever since I downloaded it. It’s wonderful, and yes, so much better than George’s. The downside is, it will never leave your head.

Oh, I just saw the Nimoy song … thanks for that, too!

Tift Merritt is a favorite here, as is Iron & Wine. I’ve appreciated Sam Beam and his work even more since I sent out an email to him asking a discographical question and got a return email that was not only informative but downright chatty, certainly more than was required. I’ve heard some Joe Arthur and Jose Rouse but not the two highlighted here. More stuff to check out!
