Best Break up songs

What songs helped you get thru a breakup?

Star · 02-19-2005, 08:34 AM

not sappy ones! LOL! I would spend a couple days in bed crying my eyes out then get back out there having fun. When I'm really sad like that, I have to be around people. It helps to take your mind off of your pain.

I don't think they helped in any way...but I have a whole list. I don't generally listen to country music.....but "Please Remember Me' from Tim McGraw has got to be one of the saddest love songs I've ever heard. If I listen to it after 3 beers.....it STILL makes me go into a big boo-hoo party!

Tim Mcgraw has great one's I like that song he sings that say I don't know why you got to be angry all the time.

My best break up song is I WILL SURVIVE

Merika · 02-19-2005, 11:31 AM

From who?

I also like Whitney Houston's....I Wanna Run To You.

The McGraw one is my all time favorite though.

Merika! how can you not know the song "I will survive"??? That's a classic! I don't know who sings that one either but I know the song.

It's a great pick me up song.

I remember a song which had those particular words from Gloria Gaynor (sp?) years ago....but I considered it more of a disco song.

Stone · 02-19-2005, 12:35 PM

It is a disco song

Merika · 02-19-2005, 01:00 PM

Well...I don't consider any particular disco song as being a 'tear jerker'.....LMAO! Man, if I pick out a sad song.....it's SAD...it doesn't make me want to get up and dance with John Travolta.

Star · 02-19-2005, 01:12 PM

LMAO merika!

one really sad song is "seasons in the sun". I forget who sings it but I cry everytime i hear it. it isn't a break up song. it's a dying song and he's saying goodbye to everyone he loves. That has got to be the sadest songs i ever heard in my life.

Merika · 02-19-2005, 01:43 PM

We had joy we had fun...we had seasons in the sun? You mean that one? I think it was by The Byrds. Not sure though.

Star · 02-19-2005, 01:47 PM

yes that one! isn't it the sadest song ever?

Merika · 02-19-2005, 03:52 PM

I have a warped sense of humor....to me 'Good-bye Papa - I've got to go'...was funny!

Star · 02-19-2005, 04:54 PM

OMG merika! LMAO!!! must be the papa word that gets you laughing

Meanon · 02-19-2005, 05:04 PM

You're not the only one, Merika. that song is so over the top it's been lampooned loads of times. I can't remember by whom but some of them were very funny.

I try and avoid sad songs if I'm sad, they just make me worse. Sometimes I can't help myself if I'm absolutely in the depths and can't resist a good wallow

The happier stuff is better, particularly if I can dance to it.

Actually movies have a way of making me feel sadder about situations than any song ever can.
