Everybody who’s had their heart ripped out and stomped on has a break-up song. You do. I do. Heck, some of us have entire Itunes break-up playlists (guilty). I know this is a highly subjective topic, but what the hell: I’m going to share some of the songs that have helped me get through bad times. I hope, if you’re in break-up hell right now, some of these help you through the weekend and make you feel a little bit less alone. And feel free to share your favourite break-up songs in the comments.
You Ruin Me, The Veronicas
Broken Heart, Spiritualized
Love Me Again, John Newman
So Beautiful, Pete Murray
Gotten, by Slash with Adam Levine
All By Myself, Celine Dion
I Don’t Believe You, Pink
Rolling in the Deep, Adele
Somebody That I Used to Know, Gotye
Torn, Natalie Imbruglia
Don’t Speak, No Doubt
The Scientist, Coldplay
Someone Like You, Adele
What’s the break-up song you have (or have had in the past) on repeat?
