Heartaches - QRS 8213

I like to post older original copies of rolls. But this is a great song, and since I already posted my other Al Bowlly hits, I might as well include this one - even tho it's a newer copy. It's another one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy Heartaches - most people don't!

Listen to an updated version here

Crazy how in 60-70 years this song will actually be a burning memory for many

[neondennon]

As much as I love Al Bowlleys version, with the “Hearrrrtacheeess, heaaaarrrtachheees..” I really like these ones that go more like “Heart. Aches. .. Heart. Aches.”

Memories don't hurt, what really hurts is seeing people who built good memories become a memory, a burning memory.

Everyone is commenting with the Caretaker reference…I just think it is a really great roll. I like your tempo. Daringly fast but it swings hard!

I haven't seen a lot of player piano videos, but this is the first time i"ve seen the lyrics on the roll. That's so great.

[TRlTON]

Interesting how this song is a burning memory truly for the elderly of today and the days before yet will continue to be so for our generation too in the future

This is another great roll, I have the Aeolian version coming in a few days and am looking forward to hearing it!

I originally listened to the Caretaker's stuff roughly a few years ago. Lead me down this rabbit hole. I lovvvve this version of Al Bowlly's Heartaches. Has a upbeat style to it, even though its supposed to tell a story of heart break.

down the street this ice cream shop has a late 1800s player piano that is incredibly old and has this song including lullaby of the leaves.

[rcmac]

woah, this is the closest I've found to the player piano I have! I hope to restore it one day

1:52 didn't expect an ending like a Steven Universe song (there's a complicated term for this sort of Coda that refers to this jazz like chording style of ending///jazz only in refrence to the style of harmony, taken inspiration from the blues chord system, not jazz rhythm wise)

[MorseStone]

I love the stride/ragtime style this is played in! I find it to be quite an interesting take on this song, and inspires me to try something similar.

The pain of losing someone who isn’t dead

[dockyard]

Beautiful, awesome work of engineering

[ZettLovesFTBL]

For those who was asking: Wait, there's another line after "My heart aches for you?" Yes, but in the other version.

[barnacl]

searched for heartaches and it returned not only the song but a wholesome technique of the 20th century. Love to see people collecting rolls and know that QRS is still alive today. Nice work!

[Sum]

Dude, it’s so weird how time flies by so fast.
Nowadays, we have that stupid “Those beautiful things that I’ve got” song.




This is proof The Caretaker Community has a better taste in music than 99% of the world.
