La Douleur Exquise by DharmikaMusic published on 2024-02-22T09:10:05Z Song a week #8 - Prompts: Down with Love / Pistols and Petals I left out the pistols. No one's going to get hurt over this. "La douleur exquise" is a French term - "Directly translated, the French phrase means "exquisite pain," but that doesn't convey the full force of the sentiment. It specifically refers to that pain you feel for wanting someone you can't have." This song poetically cuts to the heart of the matter, and exemplifies my main sub-genre of love songs. Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Bernard Dady Love that never gets twisted and doesn’t hurt does exist. You just have to find a soulmate from amongst 8.1 billion people. I found mine when I was 15. 2024-03-01T15:33:23Z Comment by Evan McDoniels Im really feeling this one!
