Help me with my breakup playlist!

Asked by iLove (2344points) March 29th, 2011

Ok, so it wasn’t years long, and I am not really THAT sad. However, after ending a pretty intense 6 month relationship that started off as friends, I am in the “recovery song mode”!

Can you help me with my playlist? I’m thinking 80s – now, no country PLEASE. Songs that say, hey it was fun – but I’m moving on, you’ll miss me when I’m gone… etc.

Nothing really sad or depressing, just good ones to get me through!

I’ll start off:
Perfectly Lonely by John Mayer
It’s Over Now by Alice In Chains
Makes me Wonder by Maroon 5
Through with You by Maroon 5
U Don’t Have to Call by Usher

“We Will Not Be Lovers” by The Waterboys.

It’s not 80s, but Valediction by Baba Brinkman and Aaron Nazrul is pretty cool.

This is 80s, and though it’s by a “country singer”, it’s definitely not “country”.

It Only Rains on Me by Don Williams.

I actually have their videos on VHS

I should clarify – I meant 80s to current, sorry if that was unclear. Last 3 decades will work!

“She hates me” by Puddle of Mudd
“official breakup song” by aly and aj if you’re into pop. I hate pop, but I just had to include it because it fits the topic sooo well.

Guns & Roses – November Rain

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin’ when I hold you
Don’t you know I feel the same
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it’s hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

Darwin Deez’s Bad Day ought to do the trick. :)

iLove's avatar

@creative1 – The Whitesnake song for sure, I rock that hard on the mic on Rock Band!
Rock on with the Love Bites too!

thanks!

@crisw – DAMN that Valediction song is good. And sad. :(

iLove's avatar

@blueiiznh – LOVE the Kate Nash song! Found a new artist I like!

blueiiznh's avatar

@iLove always nice to find something new to listen to. I also had some Regina Spektor songs in mind, but didn’t want to hog the thread :D.

iLove's avatar

@blueiiznh – go ahead, be a thread hog! this question was a good one for you, based on your knowledge of music! :D

crisw's avatar

@iLove

Glad you liked it. Baba Brinkman is an under-appreciated genius, I think.

iLove's avatar

I found another good one – Hanging on to long by Duffy. She is awesome!

iLove's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir – Great song. exactly the words I was looking for.
