Listened to Roy Orbison's "Crying" this morning, such a sad breakup song. What's your favourite breakup song, one that really gets to your heart?

I’m Losing You, by Brenda Lee.

There is literally no sadder song than Sinead O'Connors Nothing Compares 2 U.

Slight tangent but also Skunk Anansie Hedonism for a sad "seeing your ex unexpectedly" song is gorgeous.

Faithless “Don’t Leave”. Not there usual style of music but a fantastic song.

Agreed - with To The End by them coming close too.

Imogen Heap, hide and seek.

The lyrics really hit home, particularly the bits about standing in an empty family home as you leave it all behind, remembering happy times😢
