Ultimate breakup songs

[Mushroomride]

Which song most conveys the feeling of how you felt after your breakup?

I don’t forgive you - Isabel LaRosa

So satisfying somehow, doesn’t make me sad at all.

Baby, is she really everything you need?
It's crazy, think you love her after just two weeks
You hate me 'cause you know I'm not that easy
I hope she breaks your heart so casually
I don't forgive you
I don't forgive you
I still fucking miss you
But I don't forgive you
Trust me, I'm in every other girl you'll meet
You see that god'll bring you back to me
Baby, I hope you think she'll never leave
And then she'll break your heart so casually
I don't forgive you
I don't forgive you
I still fucking miss you
But I don't forgive you
You drive away
I guess today's the last I am seeing your face
I don't forgive you
I don't forgive you
I still fucking miss you
But I don't forgive you

Linkin Park "In the End"

Avril Lavigne - FU
Lily Allen - Smile

Nothing Compares 2 U. Played this a lot when I got my heart broken fir the 1st time, especially when it literally had been 7 hours and 15 days!

I love Against All Odds by Phil Collins. It makes me teary just listening to it so I definitely couldn't listen to it if I had just broken up with someone

I can't listen to this. My eyes have filled with tears just pasting the link.

Ex partner who was abusive and threatened to leave me or walked out so many times to punish me. It fits too closely with the words of the chorus.

Kaiser Chiefs - Every day I love you less and less 😁

For me it’s this one:

I finally got away!

Love this one!

'if you ever felt one breaking you'd never want a heart'

This is the hidden track

Totally agree about The Pierces. Saw them live twice.

It's got to be nothing compares 2 U.

I also love "The break up song" by underappreciated indie artist Lauren Ruth Ward about her (more famous) underappreciated indie artist ex girlfriend LP (whose music I also love even though according to Lauren Ruth Ward, she's a terrible girlfriend). It's got a really peaceful and beautiful sound but the lyrics are so scathing and personal. Tried to write more to explain it but basically just listen to it!

Fleetwood Mac - Silver Springs.

Was my most played song on Spotify the year exh left 🫠

I am a survivor . Destiny’s Child

Shake it out, Florence and the machine

Ciao- Lush w/Jarvis Cocker

Another vote for You Oighta Know. Such a satisfying song to sing along to very very loudly especially the second verse!

Also Sunshine Anderson "Heard it all Before".

Nothing Compares to U. Beautiful song.

Julianna Calm Down

Still in love with you - Thin Lizzy
In the Air Tonight - the whole album - Phil Collins

But I do think no-one has done it better than Alanis Morrisette .

A Different Corner by George Michael

Ooh yes that's a good one I even forgave Mariah and Westlife for their surprisingly ok cover.

Another Phil one, In Too Deep.

Omg can't believe I didn't mention LP's own epic break up song "Lost On You"

Alison Moyet - All cried out

Whenever I see a thread like this I always think of the same song. It's a Beautiful Day by Michael Buble.😂

It’s Too Late by Carole King 👌

Wow OP I don’t know that song but what beautiful words.

Sword from the Stone by Passenger used to absolutely break me - my loser ex was a gambler and the line ‘how you getting on? Any horses running worth betting on?’ Felt like it was written just for me - of course I now realise it was just a good rhyme!

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd as well. Just beautiful.

Chris Isaak - Wicked Game
