136. "Cruel to be Kind" by Nick Lowe {#12; 7/79} [iTunes? Yes] {YouTube: Cruel to be Kind.}
"You still mystify, and I want to know why."
I've never really understood what this song means. "Cruel to be kind?" I don't get it. "It's nice to be nice to the nice?" That I understand. But, if you want to be kind you need to be cruel? I just don't get it.
That said, I still really like this song, and I always have. I'm not sure why. It's a good sing-along song.
I had never seen the video before. It's an interesting wedding video. Something that might be only interesting to me: the guitar player in the purple suit/limo driver is none other than Dave Edmunds!
"I pick myself up off the ground to have you knock me back down again and again."
