Dry Your Eyes Mate

‘The Living is Easy’ is so much more than just a radio show blog. For this one post it has become a shoulder to cry on, a shoulder more specifically for our readers who have recently experienced the pain of a relationship breakdown. (WARNING: Tom and Marty have had no professional training in relationship counselling, so continue reading at your own risk.)

Although Tom and I try our best to keep the mood upbeat, this mix, Melancholy Flowers 2, by Bobby Corridor is so damn good that I couldn’t stop myself from posting it for our listeners to enjoy. Maybe ‘enjoy’ is the wrong word, ‘cry’ would be more appropriate.

Take one look at the track listing and you’ll see that this is a mix for the broken-hearted, if you are presently in the early days of being in love, avoid at all costs, however if over an hour of some of the most melancholy tunes mixed to perfection, sprinkled with bitter spoken word fables, sounds like your thing, then download now.
