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

He’s also phd level at music quizzes.

George Michael's cover is also superb.

Better Man by Taylor Swift
Fighter - Christina Aguilera

There's music I can't listen to atm that were his faves - U2, Oasis, Noel Gallagher. 'our song' was into your arms by Nick Cave, and I really can't listen to that any more.

Megan Thee Stallion - plan b
the japanese house - somebody you found

both very different songs, but so helpful for me after my break up! One to rage to and one to weep to.

Olivia Rodrigo's first album Sour pretty much contained all break up songs! She owes a lot to Alanis. So many similarities

There’s one by Rhianna I loved, can’t remember the name of it but it starts with “how about a round of applause, a standing ovation” really pretty song. Take A Bow!

Also Celine Dion It’s all coming back to me now, I remember sobbing to that one after a teenage breakup

I remember being around 15 and crying for weeks over an awful boy who was mean to me and cheated on me. I played Linger by The Cranberries on repeat, takes me right back to then when I hear it.

Christina Aguilera - Fighter

no ordinary morning - chicane
sing me to sleep - fran healy

Since u been gone - Kelly Clarkson
Flowers - Miley Cyrus
Good as hell - Lizzo
Fighter - Christina

My anthem for life - It's my life - Bon Jovi

Misty Blue- Dorothy Moore
Bigger Boys and stolen sweethearts -Arctic Monkeys
And probably the saddest lyricfrom Yesterday,today and probably tomorrow- The Courteeners
Because I think that we both know in twenty-eight and a half years' time
That I won't be yours, and you probably won't be mine

@Ghouella yes Lost on You is an absolutely brilliant break up song

Agree with the votes for Against all Odds as well. I have an almost visceral reaction to it, the utter helplessness I felt was so well encapsulated by the lyrics.

Now I feel a bit stronger, Flowers is just brilliant. I have a t-shirt with “I can take myself dancing” on it!

my own contributions - Samson by Regina Spector and You Were Meant for Me by Jewel

Some kinda nerve by Melissa Ferrick.

Separate Lives - Phil Collins & Marilyn Martin - well up every time I hear it, memories of hitting the rewind and play button in my teens

Now You're Gone - Whitesnake

Shout out to my ex by Little Mix was released as I split with my ex and summed it up perfectly.

The thrill is gone ... my hubbies mate used to play it at weddings!

Leaving Me Now by Level 42

Don’t Forget Me When I’m Gone by Glass Tiger

(Showing my age here 😉)

Taylor Swift - the smallest man who ever lived

Ben Harper Walk Away- got me through a couple of difficult breakups

Green Day-time of your life

You would love 'Beamer Boy' and 'Spotlight'

Sorry I meant that to reply to the PP who recommended Lil Peep!

Katy Perry - Roar

Greenday- Good Riddance (Time of your Life)
