Best break-up song.

[JustMe]

Just out of curiousity... what's the best break up song that you can think of and why?

[Xcalibur]

Song that will change your mind

Prodigy's fat of the land did the job for me.

Techno too.

(thansk to miss x for the definition)

[Ravenstorm]

Two Out of Three Ain't Bad.

Meatloaf

Just cause I really like it.

Raven

[Miss X]

Almost doesnt count - Brandy. It reminds me of the worst break up I had, and it was very fitting at the time.

[GSLeloo]

Can't think of the titles.. but for a time period, I think 80's has some of the best break up songs. Those bands could make you cry.

[Silleck]

Linkin park-In the end

[Myshel]

"I can't make you love me if you don't"

Bonnie Raitte

Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down the voices inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close and don't patronize me
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my head and I feel the power
but you won't
No you won't
Cause I can't amke you love me
if you don't
I close my eyes '
then I won't see
the love you don't feel when your holding me
Morning will come and I'll do whats right
just give me till then to give up the fight
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't...

[Skirmisher]

"Don't speak" by No Doubt will always be pretty bittersweet for me for the same reason Chica

[GSLeloo]

Free Falling - Tom Petty

Don't Dream it's Over

That song gets me too. It reminds me of that feeling when you love someone, but they just dont love you enough back. I'm totally depressing myself now!!

[Ilvane]

My all by Mariah Carey.

Back when she wasn't a sell out.;)

I am thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it's wrong to love you
Then my heart just won't let me be right
'Cause I've drowned in you
And I won't pull through
Without you by my side

I'd give my all
To have just one more night with you
I'd risk my life
To feel your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all
For your love tonight

Baby, can you feel me
Imagining I'm looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet you're so far
Like a distant star
I'm wishing on tonight

I'd give my all
To have just one more night with you
I'd risk my life
To feel your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all
For your love tonight

I'd give my all
To have just one more night with you
I'd risk my life
To feel your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all
For your love tonight
Give my all for your love
Tonight

I was thinking more along the line of Figure.09 or Don't Stay, but In The End is good too.

Ex-Girlfriend was a great break up song.

[Snapp]

'What About" - Janet Jackson

Heard it shortly after a bad break-up. That song is so full of anger.. even though a few of the lyrics didn't match my situation, the feeling behind it certainly did.

[Skirmisher]

Oh yes...one of the all time best break up songs is by Alanis Morissette. "You Oughta know". Good angry break up song to belt out to get out the frustration. :thumbsup:

And one other that has some history for me is Melissa Etheridge's "Like the way i do".

Oof...isn't this an uplifting topic..:wow:

If you want a good, angry breakup song...

"If Looks Could Kill" by Heart.

She wrote it right after discovering she was being cheated on.

Raven

[HarmNone]

Love is Blind by Janis Ian always said it for me.

HarmNone

[StrayRogue]

Radiohead - Creep

[Ilvane]

Oof, my ex loved that song--maybe it should have told me something, huh?

-A

[StrayRogue]

Change it to Yeah Yeah Yeah's - Maps.

[StrayRogue]

Erm, add Smashing Pumpkins - Mayonaise.

[Khaitiff]

Thats What I Get - NIN

[Khaitiff]

No Sex - Limb Bizkit

[Snapp]

Wanted to add another Janet song, "Son of a Gun." The last post I made got me going through and listening to my Janet albums. ;) If anyone's ever seen the video to that... it shows what most people want to do to an ex that's wronged them... KICK THEIR ASS.. literally!

Plus the song features Carly Simon & Missy.

I'm showing my age here but try the Eagles.."Best of My Love" it goes something like this...

Every night
I'm lying in bed
holding you close in my dreams
thinking about all the things that we've said
and coming apart at the seams
we tried to talk it over
but the words come out to rough

I know you were trying
to give me the best of your love

beautiful faces
and loud empty places
look at the way that we live
wasting our time
on cheap talking wine
left us so little to give
that same old crowd
was like a cold dark cloud
that we could never rise above

but here in my heart
I give you the best of my love

woa oh oah (best I could spell it) sweet darlin'
you get the best of my love (repeat twice)

I'm going back in time and it's a sweet dream
it was a quite nite
and i'll be alright
if i could go on sleeping

but every morning
I wake up and worry
what's gonna happen today
you see it your way
I see it mine
but we both see it slippin' away
you know we always had each other baby
I guess that wasn't enough

but here in my heart
I give you the best of my love

I forgot to add why this is a good break up song for me.

We all have been to that point where you know it's just not going to work anymore. I was like that with my ex fiance'. She saw things her way and I saw them mine. We both saw our relationship slip away. Sad thing is we knew we loved each other but we just couldn't be together anymore. Maybe I'm just strange. hehhe

You mean "You give love a bad name"?

Weird Al has the best breakup song ever!
"You dontt love me anymore"


Cat


We've been together for so very long
But now things are changing, oh I wonder what's wrong?
Seems you don't want me around
The passion is gone and the flame's died down

I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem
That time that you made it with the whole hockey team
You used to think I was nice
Now you tell all your friends that I'm the Antichrist

Oh, why did you disconnect the breaks in my car?
That kind of thing is hard to ignore
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

I knew that we were having problems when
You put those piranhas in my bathtub again
You're still the light of my life
Oh darling, I'm beggin', won't you put down that knife?

You know, I even think it's kinda cute the way
You poison my coffee just a little each day
I still remember the way that you laughed
When you pushed me down that elevator shaft

Oh, if you don't mind me asking, what's this poisonous cobra
Doing in my underwear drawer?
Sometime I get to thinking you don't love me any more

You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill
Now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will
You set my house on fire
You pulled out my chest hairs with an old pair of pliers

Oh, you think that I'm ugly and you say that I'm cheap
You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep
You drilled a hole in my head
Then you dumped me in a drainage ditch and left me for dead

Oh, you know this really isn't like you at all
You never acted this way before
Honey, something tells me you don't love me any more, oh no no
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

The Bon Jovi song is "You Give Love A Bad Name" off of the Slipery When Wet CD. It's the first lines of the song that's...

"Shot through the Heart, and you're to blame, you give love a bad name"

Bon Jovi had another good break up song called Always.

[Overlord]

Blood For Blood - So common, so cheap

I reccomend a good listen or at least a read of these lyrics... this is zee song. starts off "fucking your pussy was like fucking the wound from a shotgun blast....with gangreen"

[Weedmage Princess]

Oh that's charming, Overlord *stare*

Most I think are the best were named already:

Brandy- Almost Doesn't Count
In The End- Linkin Park

and my personal all-time favorite:
Someday - Mariah Carey

That was off her first album, pre-sellout days (stealing a very appropiate Ilvane line..heh) and probably my fondest memory cause an ex dogged me good and then later on wanted me back and I was all like "See ya!" Those are the best situations ;)

[Overlord]

Meh well the only break up i ever considered when i read this thread was the evil most recent one so of course i'm going to have some vile or emotional songs come to mind lol
