Stan Ridgway - Walkin' Home Alone

"So put another quarter in the jukebox, Pete/But don't play the one with the sad trombone/'Cause tonight I'll be walkin' home alone"... Those are the final lines of former Wall Of Voodoo singer Stan Ridgway's "Walkin' Home Alone", one of the most memorable tracks on his debut solo album The Big Heat (1986). That's of course exactly when the sad trombone enters, making this song as beautiful and sad as any song you can think of. Another stone cold classic!
