Best post breakup song

kat.mac

Hi folks,

Just curious as to what songs you turn to to help you put your best foot forward after a break up.

For me, The Gossip's Move in the Right Direction is totally on the money. Positive, up-tempo, and also totally realistic. Super song IMO!

Jimmy Iovine

A classic from one of Houston's finest.

I had a playlist of songs after a break-up. These were some of my favourites:

Not really a break up song, but the repetition of "You're solid gold, I'll see you in hell" is perfect.

No explanation needed for this one really, just a classic.

Mount Moriah - Lament: Good god how I wish more people knew about this song. Lovely little song about a relationship that's over.

Link to the song here. A nice wee read to go with it

I know. It's great, right?

Here's three songs that I think capture the post-breakup feeling quite well.

I couldn't find the studio version but this is a great live version.

I used to listen to this quite a lot after one particular breakup.

One of the most depressing songs ever recorded, and one of the best.

Adore Lover, you should have come over. Not listening to it though as don't want to ruin it by association to this breakup!! Didn't know the others but they're a bit special!

Sweet song... Linking to that site has made my day though. Hadn't come across it before

Nothing like an angry, "I'm doing fine" song to help you think you're in the right!

Ain't my Bitch by Metallica.

I always preferred to wallow in my misery so something like Katy Song by Red House Painters fits the bill perfectly!

Post Break-Up Sex by The Vaccines

It's full of self-pity and misery, it just has such a deathly feel to it...and it's fúcking brilliant.
