Thursday music corner: a single and the opening track from the band Love’s famed second album Forever Changes, in Alone Again Or songwriter Bryan MacLean juxtaposes bleak lyrics with upbeat pop sounds to create an uneasy, heady mix. It has been covered by artists as diverse as The Damned, UFO, Sarah Brightman, the Boo Radleys, Calexico, and Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs. It has also appeared in numerous film soundtracks, including Bottle Rocket, Sleepers and Bunny and the Bull, and the TV series Russian Doll.
