Best break up song
 

We cover music often, but ICP's thread mad me think about this.....

What is the best break up song? You know, the one that every time you hear it, you still to this day think of that person..... or the one that helped you to cope with a loss?

Mine is~ I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Rait

What do you guys think?

When I was single, and consistently getting dumped, I had a few songs I would listen to until I got over it. Three that immediately come to mind are all by Brenda Lee: Break it to Me Gently, Fool #1, and All Alone Am I. She was very good with "break up" songs. And I still have all the records, too.

I think a cross between 'The Carnival is Over' and

"ding dong the witch is dead"

'Ding Dong, the Carnival is Over' perhaps.

Sugarsprinkles---My wife was a HUGE Brenda Lee fan!I think that
she still has all of her old 45s' in one of our sheds.We don't have a turntable anymore.Last year;we got rid of most of our old records(for room)but;I think;that those are still there.I'm a horrible packrat.I still have some 8tracks and an 8track player in
my garage. Irish

Irish,
I still have all my old 45's....probably close to 400 of them. I was and still am a huge Brenda Lee fan! Got a few of her LP's too. Think we have between 300-400 LP's too. And like you, no turntable anymore. Oh well, eventually we'll get another one.
Until our last fire, I had a bunch of 8-tracks too. Guess I'm just a music junkie....:D

Sorry to bring it down to Def Leppard level, but...

When Love and Hate Collide - Def Leppard

The Fall by The Nixons....made me cry the instant I heard it after my b/f dumped me...I love that song still..although I haven't heard it in a while.

911
 

"9-1-1" Wyclef Jean. I didn't find it to be so good a song after it played forever in the background as the relationship ended. :(

wow souls_cry2000 thats bad i will die if i do that good ur surviving

two out of three ain't bad- Meatloaf

Usually after a breakup, any song that made me think of the relationship was a downer.

Another one goes like this.... I ain't missing you at all.... since you've been gone, away....
Can't remember who did it.... can see him and everything!! On the tip of my tongue!!!
