One question regarding your heartbroken music

"Anna Begins" Counting Crows

Because her name was Anna. Fuck off, I was in high school.

to break up TO:

Yeah! Oh Yeah! by the Mag Fields

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that’s so cold? (so cold)
Maybe I’m just 2 demanding
Maybe I’m just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you’re just like my mother
She’s never satisfied (she’s never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

How have we gotten this far without a single mention of Leonard Cohen?
Hallelujah is the crown prince of breakup songs. (And well covered by the mentioned Jeff Buckley)

"Ex-Girl To The Next Girl" by Gang Starr

"Another Man's Vine" by Tom Waits is mine...specifically this line:

"Golden Willie's gone to war
he left his young wife on the shore
will she be steadfast every day
while Golden Willie's far away?
along the way her letters end.
she never reads what Willie sends..."

while away at college, far away from home in a scary city with no friends to speak of, my partner, though still at home 3 hours away, was a great source of strength for me. always encouraging, always the first to make me feel better when i was homesick. he proposed to me for christmas. two months later he had cheated on and left me. ever since then i can't stop from tearing up when i hear this song.

The Lost Patrol - Songs About Running Away

The only break-up CD you'll ever need.

Ha! I have to say I've gotten some semi-evil post-break up enjoyment out of that song before.

On the other end, though, I distinctly remember All My Little Words kind of knocking the wind out of me after one breakup.

yep. that one, too. there are about 6 or 7 MF songs just off of 69 love songs that i have to skip or i start tearing up.
