I think I read too much. Just wanted to convey getting your heart smashed is something every one can relate to. Be kind to people who didn't mean to hurt you and it will pay off in the long run.
May 27, 20241 yr Author And be extra kind when roles are reversed. No one asks for it, but it's still in your hands.

May 28, 20241 yr putting aside the "blues" genre, best ones ever in my mind are "Yesterday" and "For No One" by the Beatles, "Black" by PJ, "Purple Rain" and "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Prince, "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers, "I Can't Make you Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt, and while maybe more of a troubled relationship song more than a breakup song, "With or Without You." next level down would be "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" by Al Green, "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morisette, "Digging in the Dirt" by Peter Gabriel, "Always on My Mind" by Willie, "River" by Joni Mitchell, "Unbreak My Heart" by Toni Braxton, "Last Goodbye" by Jeff Buckley, and because I was an early teen in the mid-90's when a girl that went on to be a cowboy cheerleader dumped me our soph year of high school, I will throw in "End of the Road" by Boyz2Men. Birdy's version of Bon Iver's song "Skinny Love" hits pretty good for me too. my absolute fucking favorite however...
May 28, 20241 yr Every Magnetic Field Song on 69 Love Songs, but a couple stick out.. 01) I Think I Need a New Heart But the words you want to hear You will never hear from me I'll never say "happy anniversary" Never stay to say "happy anniversary" 02) I Don't Want To Get Over You I don't wanna get over you I guess I could take a sleepin' pill And sleep at will And not have to go through what I go through I guess I should take Prozac, right? And just smile all night At somebody new Somebody not too bright But sweet and kind Who would try to get you off my mind I could leave this agony behind Which is just what I'd do If I wanted to But I don't wanna get over you 'Cause I don't wanna get over love I could listen to my therapist Pretend you don't exist And not have to dream of what I dream of I could listen to all my friends And go out again And pretend it's enough Or I could make a career of bein' blue I could dress in black and read Camus Smoke clove cigarettes and drink Vermouth Like I was 17, that would be a scream But I don't wanna get over you
May 30, 20241 yr I'll see your Dr. Hook and raise you Fountains of Wayne: . . . and not so much for the song itself but the famous film it accompanied, another story of an affair with an older woman, but in this case the protagonist eventually falls for the daughter: Edited May 31, 20241 yr by jimmyjazz

June 4, 20241 yr How about a break-up that leads to a rekindling of romance? I mean, who doesn't like Pina Coladas?
June 4, 20241 yr You know how much trouble that guy would be in for responding to a newspaper ad? The fact that his old lady penned the original ad wouldn't matter one bit. This scenario would not end well for that nerdy Casanova.
June 7, 20241 yr IMO, no one does songs about love and loss quite like Dire Straits. Here's one of my favorites from their last studio release
