Heh, I went through a breakup about a month ago, still trying to get myself back on my feet so to speak.

Here's my contributions to the list:
Cake's cover of "I will Survive" (or the original, for that matter)
Craig David - "Walkin Away"
Diana Krall - "Maybe You'll Be There", "They Can't Take That Away From Me"
The Eagles - "Girl from Yesterday"
Elton John - "I'm Still Standin" (yes, this is cheesy 80s pop, I know, but still...)
The House Jacks - "Middle Ground"

Oh and, Quote:

Man those people of the opposite sex... they can have such an impact on our lives!!


Women - can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em, lol...

Sorry about your breakup.

I think Beck's Sea Change is a quintessential album of heartbreak and parting.



I put that album on repeat last time i broke up. You have to listen to it. Let your ex listen to it too, as a breakup present. Maybe she'll regret breaking up and you'll be happy together again.

Norm from Cheers had it right when he said:

"Women. Can't live with 'em... pass the beer nuts.

Just about every Bleeding Through song is good break up music. BT are metalcore.

But here are my favourites:

"Love Lost In A Hail Of Gun Fire"
"Kill To Believe"
"On Wings Of Lead"
"For Love and Failing"
"She's Gone"

Was just going to suggest this!

Give me my money back, give me my money back, you b*tch!

Two best breakup albums in my collection:

The Mercy Kiss (eponymous) -- It's all about breaking up. Even the band name. Every song on there is a rocking anthem to how much it sucks.

Blues Traveler (Truth Be Told) -- Not every song is about breaking up, but most are.... and the best songs on there will rock you to the core, mostly in a good way. I still listen to "Mount Normal" a lot when I realize that I'm thinking about the girl who moved out as I was looking for the ring:

I propose to climb Mount Normal
My expidition needs supply
And fortune smiles upon the fool
Who gives at least a try
And in the quest to take Mount Normal
I've no Sherpa for a guide
It's the kind of trek that feels its way
As I sacrifice my pride
And deign to dare to risk rejection
From what I don't know how to fake
So much that I would give to this
And I don't know what to take

And I am scaling up Mount Normal
And I get higher every day
And I dream to be somebody else
And every night I pray
That I will stand atop Mount Normal
Proudly survey the land and sea
And have happy endings if I grasp
And cling to normalcy

Well I am halfway up Mount Normal
From here at least it looks that way
Because I notice in the newer eyes
A fear I lack today
And it occurred to me this summit
Is something everybody seeks
We're so aware the precipice
While we dream about the peaks

And I am scaling up Mount Normal
And I get higher every day
And I dream to be somebody else
And every night I pray
That I will stand atop Mount Normal
Proudly survey the land and sea
And have happy endings if I grasp
And cling to normalcy

And I'll chip at icy obstacles
Until this mountain is secure
Then I will realize and find my way
At least I'm reasonably sure
When I aM high atop Mount Normal
I'll finally forgive the past
And feel at once that I belonged
To normalcy at last

And I'm high atop Mount Normal
And I get higher every day
And I dream to be somebody else
And every night I pray
That I will stand atop Mount Normal
Proudly survey the land and sea
And have happy endings if I grasp
And cling to normalcy

And we are scaling up Mount Normal
And we get higher every day
And we dream to be somebody else
And every night we pray
Someday we'll stand atop Mount Normal
Proudly survey the land and sea
And have happy endings if we grasp
And cling to normalcy
