Thread Name: Wanted: Songs that regret infidelity
Subject: RE: Wanted: Songs that regret infidelity
Innaresting. Has anyone noticed that Trad. songs (might I say REAL folksongs) do not tend to be morbidly introspective? Or particularly sentimental. The classic regret for infidelity, I guess, is The House Carpenter (Daemon Lover), but the regret is implicit and not dewlled upon.
