19th April, 2009 - 10 Songs That Mean Something To Me #2

I split up with a girlfriend when I was about 19. I was heartbroken, and in order to wallow properly and fully in my teenage angst I would take the bus to Blantyre Sports Centre and play "With or Without You" by U2 on the jukebox. I would play it repeatedly. This was not appreciated by many of the New Romantics and Nutty Boys who peopled the little cafe. They would slurp their Leapin Lemon n Lime Slush Puppies and look at me with undisguised malice.

I did not care though. I was the only one who had ever felt so low. Except for Bono. He understood.
