Your Favorite Break-Up Songs

this is a big song and i think it played on the television show girls and i don't think it requires mentioning and i've listened to this song countless times with many many friends on the occasion of breakups and after my own

[Brando]

The break up songs off the albums of Ryan Adams' Heartbreaker, Beck's Sea Change and Bon Iver's For Emma. Here's a random few:

One from Jeff Nichols Brother:

whoever's had the most recent break-up wins

[Robyn]

Well, I won't win anyway. In the last months I've been dating two girls and when it started to get serious I just ran off scared shitless. I stopped answer their phone calls and so on. I might come off as a big asshole now but the fear of being left myself is...well, let's just say that I can't handle it.

It's a great thing tho because now I never have to get over a break up.

Probably a bunch of Radiohead songs which may or may not be break-up songs but I just like to interpret them as such anyway.

Converge's Jane Doe is like the most brilliantly emotional and intense break-up album, and Beck's Sea Change is pretty strong on the whole break-up thing. And Pig Destroyer is great at that sort of thing, though it often ends with someone dying.
