When a Woman Goes Cold
She didn't get mad She didn't even cry She lit a cigarette Then she said goodbye I must have missed a sign I missed a turn somewhere When I looked in... See the rest of the song lyrics

    rouble & Love is unlike any other "heartbreak and healing" album; its hard-won, experiential, Buddhist-like wisdom borders on the profound.

    Like 2010's The Foundling, this seventh studio LP draws marrow from Gauthier's bones, cauterizing the wounds of a relationship into one of the most devastating breakup albums of all time.

    She's a straight shooter, and Trouble & Love hits right to the heart.

    Her band is spare and empathetic, and she's a smart enough writer to avoid mawkishness and dramatics. Which just makes it grab you harder. [Aug 2014, p.93]

    It's all gracefully wrought. [Jul 2014, p.73]

    Gauthier’s detailed, insightful lyrics and powerfully emotive delivery makes one want to hurt.
  7. 60
    It’s a break-up album that’s perhaps a touch too unremittingly bleak for the closing resolution of “Another Train” (“I’m moving on, through the past, through the pain, waiting on another train”) to completely convince.
