This song was the cause of my last CD purchase in life (so far anyway). I bought the Learning To Flinch album in 1993 in Bielefeld, Germany. And Splendid Isolation, opened the record (Acoustic version on a 12-string guitar) , and I loved the song. Some 20 years later, a studio version of it was part of the soundtrack of the Norwegian TV-series ”Dag”. And it was only then, that I realized that I had overlooked ,that there actually existed a studio version of it in the first place. So I went to Spotify and KZitem to listen to it again, but back then, no one had uploaded it. So I finally ended up buying the CD on an American online CD store. I seldom play CDs, but when it happens, it is quite often Transverse City. And in 2023 it is 20 years since Warren Zevon left us. What a magnificent talent he had.

"Learning to Flinch" was the record of his 1992 European tour. Have you attended one of the concerts? I was in Frankfurt (Batschkapp) in September 1992.

This will go down as the defining song of this 2020 global pandemic. His greatest track and it's about time everybody appreciated the genius of this great, much missed songwriter.

I want to live alone in the desert I want to be like Georgia O'Keefe I want to live on the Upper East Side And never go down in the street Splendid Isolation I don't need no one Splendid Isolation Michael Jackson in Disneyland Don't have to share it with nobody else Lock the gates, Goofy, take my hand And lead me through the World of Self Splendid Isolation I don't need no one Splendid Isolation Don't want to wake up with no one beside me Don't want to take up with nobody new Don't want nobody coming by without calling first Don't want nothing to do with you I'm putting tinfoil up on the windows Lying down in the dark to dream I don't want to see their faces I don't want to hear them scream Splendid Isolation I don't need no one Splendid Isolation
