How can you mend a broken heart?

I love how Al Green sounds so desperately forlorn in this song, how his syllables are long and drawn out with vibrato, like he's in real pain.

Sometimes it's good to wallow in the depths of sadness. If you're feeling depressed, go ahead and watch a tearjerker while clutching a pint of Ben & Jerry's, and then listen to the The Virgin Suicides soundtrack.

All together now: ... Aaaannnd... How can you mend a broken hhhheeart? How can you stop the rain - ... from falling?
