this is a great list

Re: Songs you listened to over and over when your heart got broke...
 

These are some great lists. But when you've had your heart broken do you prefer songs that help you get over it or songs that let you wallow in your own misery for awhile?

i like your taste but i think you are wasting a good song here. now you are going to associate such a great song with this whore.

i suggest you make your self a 7 & 7 and then with the edge of the glass crush up some Vicodin into a fine powder and pour it into your cocktail and listen to this record. much better this way.

If you don't know this song or artist I recommend you dowload this from somewhere...its on ITunes

k.d. lang has a version of Hallelujah which is rather haunting as well.

Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet

Freshman year of college I made a 90-minute tape of nothing but this song, because I was an enormous douchebag. God, do I ever wish I knew then what I know now.

Re: Songs you listened to over and over when your heart got broke...
 

There's some seriously bad replies in here.

All of the album Blue by Joni Mitchell seems like a good choice (it just came on my playlist while I was reading the thread)

Sting: when we dance

Weezer- The Good Life (or for that fact just about anything from Pinkerton)

Re: Songs you listened to over and over when your heart got broke...
 

Beck- Lost Cause
Will Oldham- Now I See a Darkness

I'm definately a wallower.

The most tearjerking I've found however is:

Carry me Ohio by Sun Kil Moon. A sample:

"what about the sweetness we knew
what about what's good, what's true
from those days

can't count
to all the lovers i've burned through
so why do i still burn for you
i can't say

sorry that
i could never love you back
i could never care enough
in these last days"

Re: Songs you listened to over and over when your heart got broke...
 

I generally listen to songs that praise the girl for some reason.

"You're My Angel" Fenix Tx (I have a weird thing for this song)
"Romeo and Juliet" Dire Straits is also a good one as others have said.

but on the wallowing side, at the end of the summer I listened to "dry your eyes" by the streets about twenty times in a row as I cried myself to sleep in an emotional drunken haze.

it took me around a month to get over her.

edit: on second thought, the correct answer is actually "bye bye love" by ray charles. seriously, guys, if you listen to this song enough, you'll get over her 20-30% faster.

Re: Songs you listened to over and over when your heart got broke...
 

The Postal Service - entire damn thing except that REALLY sad #8 song.

Cake - to make me feel better.

Stabbing Westward - can't get any better breakup music than this.

Re: Songs you listened to over and over when your heart got broke...
 

The winner is Saves The Day - As Your Ghost Takes Flight

The last time that I saw you, August of '99,
I should've had my hammer and a few rusty spikes
to nail you on a wall and use bottles to catch your blood
and display you for the neighbors so they know your time had come.
And I'd drink your blood and feel it dripping down my throat
as it heads for my heart.
And as your body sags and the stench rises in vain,
the people on the street are collecting in dismay.
Before your eyes your head lifts towards the sky
and that's the last thing they'll remember of you.
And I'd drink your blood and feel it dripping down my throat
as it heads for my heart.
You've become a ghost.
You're floating somewhere in between
the waking world and a landscape of dreams.
Well it's nothing but dying.
You've got a grenade stuck in your teeth and you're pulling at the pin.
You're an illusion, just a shadow flickering underneath the sun.
And I'd drink your blood and feel it dripping down my throat
as it heads for my heart.

Just remembered another:

Against All Odds - Phil Collins

Eighth grade. Never even dated the girl, but upon finding out she wanted no part of me, it was an all-night festival of this song.

Yes, 'River' is probably the single best breakup song of all time.

Re: REM
 

What about LOSING MY RELIGION by REM.

Oh wait, that Brenda's song when Dylan broke up with her...nevermind [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Re: Songs you listened to over and over when your heart got broke...
 

Rosie Thomas - When we were small...

mostly sparse piano and a very high, almost childlike voice singing songs of loss...

damned album nearly had me jumping off a roof - jesus..

Kate Rusby's stuff is pretty good too - all her songs are sad breakup songs...

I like this one for some reason - about a guy who dies and watches his true love from the gravesite find another guy who takes all the property and the woman and so he's launching curses from the grave -

all Kate's songs are sad - for some reason, even after I got thru the breakup, the chorus in this one still hits me -

"Out in the fields where the lark it flies
over the earth where my heart lies
oh how it sings when the west winds blow
out in the field where no one goes

Oh how the cold will you let me in
if you could me speak where would I begin
Time it is passed now and I roam free
Is it wrong to wish you still need me
Is it wrong to wish you still need me

Out in the field where the lark it sings
here I was waiting for all these things
there I stood and there I fell
out in the field that I know well

Oh how the cold will you let me in
if you could me speak where would I begin
Time it is passed now and I roam free
Is it wrong to wish you still need me
Is it wrong to wish you still need me

Out in the field where the lark resides
Here I'll remain where my heart can hide
Only the lark and the west winds know
Out in this field where no one goes

Oh how the cold will you let me in
if you could me speak where would I begin
Time it is passed now and I roam free
Is it wrong to wish you still need me
Is it wrong to wish you still need me"

==================================

Also some Bill Mallonee - esp. during his dark phase...

out beneath the milky way
trying to find a place to stay
it got harder after time
became this line you crossed and somewhat undefined

now i'm drifting
beneath those things that held me up
all those thing my hands could touch
like my lips upon yours
they're all gone
that's all gone

that piece of the romantic
always dies a death that's tragic
and the part that felt so clean and new
that's now vanished inside you

now i'm drifting
beneath those things that held me up
all those thing my hands could touch
like my lips upon yours
they're all gone
that's all gone

never underestimate
distance is a feather or a crushing weight
somewhere in the darkest night
lost your locket full of moonlight

now i'm drifting
beneath those things that held me up
all those thing my hands could touch
like my lips upon yours
they're all gone
that's all gone

I think the correct answer is No Woman No Cry.

True Statement

Jay-Z's - Song Cry is my personal fav. It's the story of every relationship I've ever been in lyric for lyric.

"They say you can't turn a bad girl good, but once a good girl's gone bad... she's gone forever, I mourn forever, man I gotta live with the fact I did you wrong forever."

"Can't see it comin down my eyes, so I gotta make the song cry"

[censored] Classic

The unplugged version that lasts 7 mins gives me goosebumps everytime.

Truly classic material.
