Rod's Heart Can't Tell You No

In the last few minutes of the evening, I was thinking about another song to write about.  Contemplated something with "love" in the title once again and then decided to look for one with "heart" in the title.  Again, there are many good contenders.  Oddly enough, I thought about a Rod Stewart song that always pulled at my heartstrings, "My Heart Can't Tell You No." It's pretty straigtforward in that he sings about "when the one you love's in love with someone else...don't you know it's torture, I mean it's a living hell."  He really packs a punch in his delivery of these lyrics.  He really emphasizes "love" and "torture."  To me, it sounds like "when the one you loooooooove's in love with someone else...don't you know it's torrrrrrrrture, I mean it's a living hell."  The rest of the lyrics are pretty intense, too.  Take a listen, but keep a tissue closeby to wipe away the tears.  This is a tough one to listen to with a dry eye.  Plus, in the video, Rod looks really, really sad.  He's just singing and watching from the outside as this girl is romanced by another guy.  My heart goes out to Rod.  If you'd like to see the song in a completely new light, you can watch the version by Sara Evans from 2011.  It's a country version.  Pretty interesting.  Rod's version dates back to 1988.  It's a classic!  Enjoy, and don't be upset if you can't keep from welling up with tears...
