Alex from Ukraine also found himself in a misunderstanding, only he was not the one who misunderstood. Alex says, Last summer I visited Los Angeles.

Your Favorite Break-Up Songs
JUNE SIMMS: Last week we played break-up songs from today and yesterday. We chose recent hits by Gotye, Kelly Clarkson and Drake. We also played older songs by Gloria Gaynor, Human League and Neil Young.
Many people commented on our story about break-up songs. And several of you told us about your own favorite break-up song. Christopher Cruise plays some of them.
The Bee Gees in 1978
CHRISTOPHER CRUISE: Edgar from Venezuela wanted to hear “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart” by the Bee Gees. This nineteen seventy-one song is especially touching following the recent death of Robin Gibb.
I can think of younger days / when living for my life / was everything a man could want to do / I could never see tomorrow / but I was never told about the sorrow
