Amy Winehouse Love is a losing game

George Michael. Kissing a fool

Hope you’re ok op 💐

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John - I usually go on to Harmony which isn't really a break up song but if I'm listening to EJ I am probably pissed and singing along loudly and it works.

Bargain by the Who
Underdog by Turin Brakes (makes me HOWL)
Cranes in the Sky by Solange Knowles

And then we're into You Do Something To Me and it's all going a bit Pete Tong.

indigo 'just when I need you most ' makes me cry, because it reminds me of a dog I had at the time who we lost. Sad.

I remember his performance on Top of the pops vividly. I was about 7 at the time.
