To Maria, I give everything that was good

This not a song about the heartbreakee, it's a dedication to the heartbreaker. I don't spend a lot of time musing about my own breakup from last year -- whatever "situation" there was has ironed itself out, as appropriate -- but I can't help but think this is the best breakup song there is. It's like Jon-Rae is saying, Oh, Maria, where do I start?

Relationship history is full of baggage. Does it represent my own? Sort of, but if only from the feeling in JRF's voice. Being a great song by Jon-Rae, whom we would listen to at the right moments... that might have something to do with it. I'm not wistful at all, and since moving on I've been happy -- probably happier than I've let on. She's worth it.

Enjoy this one, please, it's top notch.

Jon-Rae Fletcher - Oh, Maria
