You’ll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart) - Burt Bacharach and Hal David (Slow Jam of the Month)
Continuing my current Burt/Hal geekery is this jam by the Stylistics. A friend once noted there’s something nice about a group of guys sweetly singing a love song.
- A lot of people try to write complicated music really well; more people should try writing non-complicated music really well. This song doesn’t jump out at you as overly complex - it’s just kinda pretty.
- While I wasn’t able to confirm this, let’s just assume the horns in this song are flugelhorns; apparently that was Bacharach’s jam back in the day.
You’ll never get to heaven if you break my heart.
so be very careful not to make us part.
