The Breakup Songs Thread

[glitzyglow]

Let's create a thread of our favorite songs to listen to after a breakup to help us get past the pain. I plan to bookmark this and hopefully we can revive it from time-to-time to add to the list!

[Emerald1486]

Stronger by Kelly Clarkson

[sweetchix]

These are the ones I've been listening to most recently.

"Goodbye" Who is Fancy


"Hello Heartache" Avril Lavigne (I mentally change some of the words around- for example, he was NOT perfect, so I sing that I was perfect, lol. And, this is the end.)


"Let Me Go" Avril Lavigne & Chad Kroeger

[sweetchix]

Click the Insert Video button (between Insert Image and Insert User Link...4th button in the group...looks like clapperboard) and insert link there.

Here you go...

[MauMau]

sweetchix Thanks!

Fuck You is about Bush. But a little fuck you melody works for anyone I think.

[jojoandleo]

Lily Allen-Smile was my first ever break up song.

Say it Right-Nelly Fertado-the song says you couldn't mean anything at all to me.

You need me, I don't need you-Ed Sheeran

Basically anything T-swift: Shake it off, We Are Never Getting Back Together; I knew you were trouble, Bad Blood

Carrie Underwood-Before he Cheats

Pink-u & Ur Hand. Pretty much anything Pink, too.

Walk Away-Kelly Clarkson

[alleinesein]

Jude- The Asshole Song

[Deleted]

Firework-Katy Perry
Strong Enough-Cher
Work Bitch-Britney
Friends in Low Places-Garth

[wampuscat]

Taylor Swift - Clean

ETA:  Oleander - I Walk Alone

I like the empowering songs too. This is old, but I like 'break my stride.'

Oh man, I love that song.

One whole album that has helped me a lot was lucius' Wildewoman, particularly the titular track and "don't just sit there", "go home"

Glacier by John grant

Sharon Jones and the dap kings; stranger to my happiness

Nina Simone -funky as a mosquitos tweeter

Avett brothers- morning song



I'll probably add to this list, i feel like my breakup truly sparked a music appreciation renaissance in me. So many helpful songs

[sweetchix]

Here's another great one...

Demi Lovato "I really don't care"

[mysterons]

Tears Dry On Their Own - Amy Winehouse



Love Is A Losing Game - Amy Winehouse



Back to Black - Amy Winehouse


I just basically listen to a lot of Amy Winehouse when I'm sad over a dude. Or even when I'm not sad over a dude.

I love Not Fair!

I'm on the phone so no video but right now it's "Time Machine" by Ingrid Michaelson. I like to just scream-sing RUUUUUUUN when I'm giving car concerts.
