Kline

One of my favorite episodes of This American Life is the one about heartbreak, where Starlee Kline talks about writing her boyfriend a torch song after her broke up with her. What she says is true, torch songs really are the ultimate expression of emotion.
It's a funny thing, I used to try to deny all of my emotions. I wanted to be invulnerable. Lately, though, that's been changing. I don't want that anymore.
I've had Frank Sinatra's "You Make Me Feel So Young" running through my head for the past half-week. Forget being invulnerable, I'm getting mushier every day.

Top 5 Favorite Torch Songs:

1. "Crazy He Calls Me," Billie Holliday
2. "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me," Dusty Springfield
3. "Fools Rush In," She & Him
4. "I'll Be Seeing You," Michael Finestein
5. "Dream A Little Dream," The Beautiful South
