So there are lots of times when I’d rather listen to music rather than write down or talk about my thoughts. It is truly a comfort to know that someone might have felt the same way as I did. These songs are ready-made statements for my sentiments.
If you’re looking for ballads and tear-jerkers, you won’t find ‘em here. This is my personal collection of angst-filled break up songs.
- “Gives You Hell” by All-American Rejects. Blunt, real and a sure-fire hit.
- “You Oughtta Know” by Alanis Morrisette. On full blast while cleaning up the mess. :)
- “Don’t Speak” by No Doubt. I first heard this song when I was in fourth grade and I still love it.
- “The Brilliant Dance” by Dashboard Confessional. So you bury all your lover’s clothes and burn the letters lover wrote but it doesn’t make any better. ‘Nuf said.
- “Good F*cking Bye” and “Radio” by Alkaline Trio. Matt Skiba sounds like a veteran of break-ups. Though both songs are easy to listen to, they’re actually filled with so much angst. And I love em. Haha.
- “Best I Ever Had” by Vertical Horizon. It’s not so bad, you’re just the best I ever had. I remember a male friend who sings this everytime he gets dumped. Each ex was the best for him. LOL. :|
- “Love Hurts” by Incubus. But sometimes it’s a good hurt and it feels like I’m alive. Songs like this will get you by.
- “Tea and Sympathy” by Jars of Clay. For the immediate post break-up moment.
- “The Fight Is Over” by Urbandub. Gave all this time just to be let down.
- “Stitches and Burns” by Fra Lippo Lippi. A poetic masterpiece.
Runners up: Die MF Die by Dope, Cry Me A River by Justin Timberlake, I Don’t Love You by MCR. :D
