Recorded in 1959, and found on "No One Cares," clearly Sinatra's darkest album; each song is profoundly mournful and emotionally overwhelming. Sinatra's grief-stricken vocals pour from the heart and perfectly complement the pouring strings of Gordon Jenkins' despair steeped arrangements. The stunning "A Cottage For Sale" is one of the sadness and most devastating songs about lost love ever written. A breakup couldn't possibly be more complete: "The end of our story is there on the door...'A Cottage for Sale.'" It's paralyzing. Listen closely to this song: Sinatra's performance is breathtaking. But what's truly moving is to consider what was going on inside him that gave him the capacity to breathe from his heart and soul with such intensity and passion that he could distill his inner demons into the incredible art that now remains... A little dream castle with every dream gone Is lonely and silent, the shades are all drawn And my heart is heavy as I gaze upon "A Cottage For Sale" The lawn we were proud of is waving in hay A beautiful garden has withered away Where you planted roses the weeds seem to say "A Cottage For Sale" From every single window, I see your face But when I reach a window, there's empty space The key's in the mailbox the same as before But no one is waiting for me anymore The end of our story is there on the door... "A Cottage For Sale" Note: the man standing behind Sinatra's right shoulder on the pictured album cover is Nelson Riddle.
