I remember the first time I played the song, "And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine," on WEW. I've forgotten whose version it was. I hadn't heard it before but thought, based on the title, it would be a sensitive lament, suitable for a segue with another sad song.
That wasn't quite the case. After hearing the lyrics about a rotten man punching his wife and not leaving any insurance for her after he dies, I thought, "Usually, I either know a song well before I play it, or I've listened to it at least once ahead of time. Lesson learned. When I'm choosing the music, I need to know the tune first. If I'd heard this song beforehand, I wouldn't have played it."
The way the backup singers sing, "And her tears flowed like wine," so matter-of-factly is still jarring to me. To say the least, it's not a song for modern sensibilities.
