but seeing that scene from Say Anything paired with your article made me imagine a re-cut version where the Ione Skye stays inside and pretends she’s not home, repeating, “Oh my god! This is so weird!!” over and over to herself.

And I have used among other artist Peter Gabriel, the Buzzcocks, Echo and the Bunnymen, and Pink Floyd to serenade. I think the music used depends greatly on the audience.

In the wake of a break-up, writer Starlee Kine finds so much comfort in break-up songs that she decides to try and write one herself—even though she has no musical ability whatsoever. For some help, she goes to a rather surprising expert on the subject: Phil Collins.

Starlee was also assisted in her efforts by musicians Joe McGinty and Julia Greenberg, who co-wrote “The Three of Us,” the song featured in this story

Act Two. Lonely Hearts Club Band . . . Of One.

Musician David Berkeley has gotten a lot of requests in his life, but none quite like the offer his agent got last year. A fan wanted Berkeley to come to his house and help save his relationship by serenading the troubled couple with a personal concert. Ira Glass talks to Berkeley about why he took the gig, and what happened when he got there. Berkeley’s newest album is called Strange Light. His website, along with free downloads, is here.
