annieo Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt. Heartbreakingly true.
wyrllish Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Loveshackers i urge you to listen to a song by a UK artist called James Blunt. The song is called 'Goodbye my lover'.....if you have just been dumped (like me) and you still love your partner (like me) this song is perfect, it says everything your feeling, perfect if you want a good cry and strangly great to listen to if you're feeling strong. Download it please and see what im on about! Its my favourite...but hey thats just my opinion xxx I've heard of him and a few of his songs but never this one. Thanks! Wow...this song this just amazing right now.
micahmo77 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Ill Be Waiting by Lenny Kravitz pretty much anything by Coldplay Gravity by John Mayer When Your Gone by Avril Levigne
Tormented Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Good topic! For me it's..."With or Without You" by U2, "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler "Chains" by Fleetwood Mac....and a good little oldie "Piece of my Heat" by Janis Joplin. There are others but the above grabs my heart everytime I hear them. ~T~
marlena Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I will survive - Gloria Gaynor . That song should become the anthem for people whose hearts are recently broken.
barbarella Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I have two songs that, while pretty old, have always gotten me through: Slightly upbeat, but really good "you suck" song: I wanna be around: - I prefer the version without Bono, but you take what you can get... If your ex calls/texts/emails/contacts you after the breakup: Cry me a river: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHVMxBkW0CQ - usually by Ella Fitzgerald or Harry Connick Jr. Both of these are fun great to sing along to, and have enough of a "you get what you deserve" vibe that they, to me, are actually uplifting.
Aboohoo Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Wyrllish - im so glad you like the song! As i said before its my favourite at the moment. Another favourite is another UK artist called James Morrison with a song called 'Pieces dont fit anymore' - I've been twisting and turning, In a space that's too small. I've been drawing the line and watching it fall, You've been closing me in, closing the space in my heart. Watching us fading and watching it all fall apart. Chorus Well I can't explain why it's not enough, Cause I gave it all to you. And if you leave me now, oh just leave me now. It's the better thing to do, It's time to surrender, It's been to long pretending. Theres no use in trying, When the pieces don't fit anymore, Pieces don't fit here anymore. You pulled me under, If I had to give in. Such a beautiful myth, That's breaking my skin. Well I'll hide all the bruises, I'll hide all the damage that's done. But I show how I'm feeling until all the feeling has gone. (Chorus) Ooh don't missunderstand, How I feel. Cause I've tried, yes I've tried. But still I don't know why, no I don't know why. III dont know why...... whyyyyyyyy!
stayc208 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 kelly clarkson.. her breakaway album or "Chivas" GREAT song for girls!

Phoenix11 Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 As I am dealing with my own heartbreak these days, I've been reaching back to: Steely Dan - Aja (not neccessarily for the lyrics, but more so how it makes me feel. Steely Dan - FM (no static at all) same reason as above Carrie Underwood - Before he Cheats - definately for the lyrics...lol
Phoenix11 Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Gino Vanelli - Living inside myself This one made my list also...must have listened to it 101 times today.

Joebo Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Here's a relitively recent one - Far Away by Nickelback. Lyrics are much better if you actually hear the song. Its from the latest album All The Right Reasons. Give it a listen... Nickelback Far Away Lyrics This time, This place Misused, Mistakes Too long, Too late Who was I to make you wait Just one chance Just one breath Just in case there's just one left 'Cause you know, you know, you know [CHORUS] That I love you That I have loved you all along And I miss you From far away for far too long I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore On my knees, I'll ask Last chance for one last dance 'Cause with you, I'd withstand All of hell to hold your hand I'd give it all I'd give for us Give anything but I won't give up 'Cause you know, you know, you know [CHORUS] That I love you That I have loved you all along And I miss you From far away for far too long I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore So far away Been far away for far too long So far away Been far away for far too long But you know, you know, you know I wanted I wanted you to stay 'Cause I needed I need to hear you say That I love you I have loved you all along And I forgive you For being away for far too long So keep breathing 'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore Believe it Hold on to me and, never let me go Keep breathing 'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore Believe it Hold on to me and, never let me go Keep breathing Hold on to me and, never let me go Keep breathing Hold on to me and, never let me go

s_n_d Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 I just discovered this song a couple of days ago... Christina Aguilera- Thats what love can do
Antithesis Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Oh, I love Beatles songs for a good sobfest! "I will" and "In My Life" are my favorites for that, along with "Yesterday". "I will" was my current ex and mine's "song". I'm glad I retained my love for the Beatles even after the breakup.
Elena62 Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Mine is: These Arms Of Mine - Otis Redding. I haven't listened to it in a while - as I only listened to it in my WAH WAH WAH moments. *snort*
spookie Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 "I will" was my current ex and mine's "song". I'm glad I retained my love for the Beatles even after the breakup. It's amazing how versatile those songs are. "In My Life" spoke to me during my first breakup, back in high school; climbing the hills of San Francisco in my tennis shoes in the fog listening to my CD player, I thought, "this is it, 'in my life, I love you more.'" With this ex it spoke to me again. Different town, different feel to it completely, and yet I feel so goddam nostalgic whenever I hear that song; for him, this time; for those memories; Texas summer afternoons and making love in lakes.
shadowplay Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) Wow, some of you guys have PISS POOR taste in music. Eek. Where's LucreziaBorga or whatever her name is when you need her? Anyway.... "For No One" The Beatles "Waltz #1" Elliott Smith "Lost Cause" Beck "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" The Platters "My World is Empty Without You" The Supremes "Train in Vain" The Clash "Love Will Tear Us Apart" Joy Division "Ceremony" New Order/Joy Division "Motion Picture Soundtrack" Radiohead "Solitude" Billie Holliday "Guiding Light" Television (not really a break-up song, but I find it evokes the same emotions) "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" The Shirelles (same as above) "The End of the World" Skeeter Davis "Pictures of You" The Cure (though not one of their best) Edited February 22, 2008 by shadowplay

shadowplay Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 You should talk........... Yeah, I guess if you like Puddle of Mudd appreciating Joy Divison or Billie Holliday might be beyond you....
Pyro Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Yeah, I guess if you like Puddle of Mudd appreciating Joy Divison or Billie Holliday might be beyond you.... More like underneath me. For the record, I am not much of a Puddle of Mudd fan. I just like the message that they send about not letting any woman walk all over you.

Come on, you cannot doubt the appropriateness of She Hates Me on this thread. That said, I saw Puddle of Mud live and they were crap. I'm surprised not to see any mention of Wonderful World by James Morrison. Great song. The pieces don't fit anymore is also very good.

I wasn't even referring to that song. That song is more along the lines of being proud that you have been dumped and that a lesson has been learned from it. I was thinking more along the lines of Control and Blurry.

Surely it doesn't have to be all melancholy here!
