Epic Post Break Up Songs

[ZachTheEskimo]

This thread is for everyones favorite, sappy, self loathing, up lifting, wallowing in pity because you'll never love again post break up theme songs.

Just post your favorite break up songs, and maybe we can into some stories to really make us remember old heartbreaks and hate ourselves all over again.

Not extactly what your saying,but a great post break up song.

Basically all of Beck's sea of change is a great one too.

[LickTheLizzard]

going back to high school...

[Gribbz]

I actually don't find this song to be sad, but:

[ZachTheEskimo]

[edbangme]

so obvious but... lol

[nathanfairchild]

too easy

[zenidogx]

You start out dwelling on Woke Up New and then you move on to this:

These songs soundtracked my break-up (and made me feel a whole lot better in the end):





I also listened to a ton of the Cure that summer. The day I broke up with this girl I went to Rasputin and just looked around aimlessly for two hours. I was fucking miserable. It is funny to me, in retrospect, that I went to a record store for comfort. Maybe I have a problem.

[TallGuyCM]

Tangled Up in Blue is one my favorite songs ever...never listened to the lyrics close enough to realize it's a break up song, ha.

[Gribbz]

I thought this song was not about breaking up for the longest time. Derp.

[ZachTheEskimo]

Alright you guys, I'll admit I had ulterior motives in starting this thread. I broke up with my sort of long term girlfriend this morning, and it was super shitty. Spent the rest of the day feeling like a huge asshole.

Thanks for the tunes, everyone.

[bballarl]

I figured. Just listen to Blood on the Tracks over and over. It helps.

[ZachTheEskimo]

Will do. Thank you sir.

You have all picked the wrong Mountain Goats song.

[TommyboyUNM]

ZachTheEskimo apparently fails at relationships AND at picking the appropriate post-breakup Mountain Goats song. Rough day.

[TallGuyCM]

But he broke up with her.

[HunterGather]

[ZachTheEskimo]

ZachTheEskimo apparently fails at relationships AND at picking the appropriate post-breakup Mountain Goats song. Rough day.

Interestingly enough, it was picking the wrong Mountain Goats song on her part that lead to this break up.

/notreally.

[guedita]

I've maimed people for picking the wrong Mountain Goats song. She got off easy.

[TommyboyUNM]

But he broke up with her.

Thus ending the relationship, making it a failure.

[nathanfairchild]

so are all of their songs breakup songs?

[guedita]

Hah. No. He wrote the Get Lonely album after an epic break up though.

[zenidogx]

Mountain Goats sing about divorce and death metal.

And then there's Wilco. Another good band for break-ups:

[Gribbz]

[MissingPerson]

It's not a failure. It's just over.

Chin up, guv.
