The Mavericks - Dance The Night Away:
Here comes my happiness again Right back to where it should have been 'Cause now she's gone and I am free And she can't do a thing to me I just wanna dance the night away With senoritas who can sway Right now tomorrow's lookin' bright Just like the sunny mornin' light And if you should see her Please let her know that I'm well As you can tell And if she should tell you That she wants me back Tell her no I gotta go I just wanna dance the night away With senoritas who can sway Right now tomorrow's lookin' bright Just like the sunny mornin' light It sounds like you've got some of plan going on here. Please do share... |

letting my absolute dorkiness show:

Skid Row - Get the fuck out!
|
I'm risking my music snob credibility by mentioning this one, but it does fit the bill : Sugar, We're Going Down by Fall Out Boy.

I love this song.
Hüsker Dü Don't Want to Know if you are Lonely I'm curious to know exactly how you are I keep my distance but that distance is too far It reassures me just to know that you're okay But I don't want you to go on needing me this way And I don't want to know if you are lonely Don't want to know if you are less than lonely Don't want to know if you are lonely Don't want to know, don't want to know The day you left me, left me feeling oh so bad Still I'm not sure about all the doubts we had From the beginning we both knew it wouldn't last Decisions have been made the die has been cast The phone is ringing and the clock says four A.M. If it's your friends, well I don't want to hear from them Please leave your number and a message at the tone Or you can just go on and leave me alone |
Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - Loretta Lynn
These Boots Are Made for Walking - Loretta Lynn or Nancy Sinatra |
I'm kinda partial to Self's Hey Deciever and Mudvayne's Not Falling.

I'm not sure if this is a breakup song but it always reminded me of one.
Bob Dylan - Positively 4th Street I wish that for just one time You could stand inside my shoes And just for that one moment I could be you Yes, I wish that for just one time You could stand inside my shoes You'd know what a drag it is To see you |
Aerosmith - Don't Get Mad Get Even.
|
Reo Speedwagon-Time for me to Fly has always been one of my favs
I also always like New Girl Now by Honeymoon Suite (yeah lets see how many people remember THEM lol) |
Free Bird! Free Bird!

While we're on this track....

Split Lip Rayfield has some great "ex-lover" songs.
"In the Ground" is about having to kill the ex-lover because she wouldn't shut up: "I'm sorry 'bout the shallow grave, but you're no longer that which I crave, Now you won't wag your tongue, talkin' bout the things I've done, You gotta love her, and leave her in the ground" Or "The Hounds", which is a darkly humorous song about killing his girlfriend, chopping her into pieces, and feeding her to the dogs. The hilarious thing is that these sound like hardcore or death metal songs, but Split Lip Rayfield is actually alternative bluegrass :) www.splitliprayfield.com |
I Don't Care Anymore - Phil Collins
Talk to Ya Later - The Tubes Little Miss Can't Be Wrong - Spin Doctors (I Hate) Everything About You - Ugly Kid Joe Hey, Joe - Jimi Hendrix (depends on the situation) |

Pig Destroyer's "Prowler in the Yard" is by far the ultimate break up album. From extreme self-loathing to the type of anger that fuels the seemingly plausible murder of the one who's done you wrong - the album covers all bases.
Intimate Slavery: "Happy birthday you broken child. Of the barbed ribs and the poison heart. I would show you the view of life from the floor but the knees are as far as you go. I give you exhibit A. A country girl bludgeoned with an elephant tusk. I give you everything I have wrapped in a shy kiss for you to use once and then destroy." Sheet Metal Girl: "I sneak a sniff of her live wire hair. It is bright red with random sparks. My bionic sister teaches me inhumanity. Parting her silver thighs and making love obsolete." Junkyard God: "My knuckles are bleeding on your front door and these flowers are wilting in the rain. They were for you and now they are for no one. They are irrelevant as mercenaries in times of peace. They are smoke twisting off the lips of a movie star. Here is a boy with paper skin who longs to touch the girl of broken glass. She loves it when he wears his skin like that. In tatters." While the album/band may seem a bit extreme, if the breakup doesn't force you to consider murder then you weren't in love. |
Well it's not very angry but this thread reminded me of this song:
Guns 'n' Roses I used to love her, but I had to kill her I used to love her, but I had to kill her I had to put her Six feet under And I can still hear her complain I used to love her, but I had to kill her I used to love her, but I had to kill her I knew I'd miss her So I had to keep her She's buried right in my back yard I used to love her, but I had to kill her I used to love her, but I had to kill her She bitched so much She drove me nuts And now I'm happier this way I used to love her, but I had to kill her I used to love her, but I had to kill her I had to put her Six feet under And I can still hear her complain Makes me laugh every time I hear it :D |
Rejected - Rancid
Fuck You - DOA Attilla the Cunt - (I can't remember who sings this) |
Kill Your Idols - Funeral For a Feeling
Sick of it All - Let Go Type O Negative - Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity And although not breakup songs, they might make you feel better: The Misfits - "Die Die Die My Darling" or "Helena" Rustic Overtones - Sugarcoat (chorus is "I think you're ugly and you're fucked") |
Bloodhound Gang - I Hope You Die
Bloodhound Gang - Lift Your Head Up High (And Blow Your Brains Out) David Banner - Treat Me Like Dr. Dre - Bitch Please II Dr. Dre - Fuck You Eminem - Kill You Lustra - Scotty Doesn't Know Tupac - Wonda Why They Call U Bitch |
Wish - NIN
It's angry, it's dark, it's loud. I put it on repeat for about a month after my first breakup. Beloved - VNV Nation Oddly can swing either to the break up or to the love song side, depending on how you read it, but it's a fine song either way. |
because it's christmas...
Last Christmas - Wham! <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/06rlB0Kw3fw"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/06rlB0Kw3fw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> Merry Christmas... |
Props to CSfilm for The Mavericks! That's actually my favourite country song...and I could so send that to my ex who's a HUGE country fan. I can taste the irony.... ;)
Possibly R.E.M. - Low, maybe even R.E.M. - Near Wild Heaven...unless those are pre-breaking-up songs. Come to think of it, "Eve 6 - Inside Out" and "Stroke 9 - Little Black Backpack" first come to mind. Oh yes...R.E.M. - All The Right Friends. That'll do nicely. :) // i'm a huge r.e.m. fan. can you tell? ;) |

Who could forget one of the best breakup songs in recent history?
Since U Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson |
Ooh, I can't believe I forgot good old "Insensitaz" by Juan Carlos Joabim!
The literal translation of the lyrics from their original Brazilian goes: Quote:

Oh yeah, just thought of another good one. Amicable at first glance, but decidedly bitter if you take a closer look.
Nickel Creek - "Somebody More Like You" Quote:

"How Long"
Why'd you go and break what's already broken I try to take a breath but I'm already choking How long till this goes away I try to remember to forget you But I break down every time I do It's left me less than zero Beat down and bruised I can't see him with you Why'd you go and break what's already broken I try to take a breath but I'm already choking Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him How long till this goes away I can't seem to get my heart over you Cause you creep into everything I do And now I'm dying to know How he touches you I can't see him with you Why'd you go and break what's already broken I try to take a breath but I'm already choking Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him How long till this goes away How long till this goes away She said she wants to be friends I took a big step back She said She said She said she's sorry With one finger I said fuck that I can tell you're lying when your lips move Cause of one lie it's not me it's you It's left me less than zero Beat down and bruised I can't see him with you Why'd you go and break what's already broken I try to take a breath but I'm already choking Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him How long till this goes away Why'd you go and break what's already broken I try to take a breath but I'm already choking Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him How long till this goes away How long till this goes away She said she wants to be friends I took a big step back She said She said She said she's sorry With one finger With one finger I said fuck that Hinder - How Long |
Good suggestions so far. Here are some that came to my mind.
Plain White T's: Hate (I really hate this song, but it's a good Fuck You song I guess) Ween: Push th' Little Daisies Dashboard Confessional: Screaming Infidelities Violent Femmes: Kiss Off Quote:
Afghan Whigs: Gentleman The whole album is pretty much a Fuck you when listened to in one sitting. However, the lines below are great. Quote:

Nobody mentioned 'Forget Her' by Jeff Buckley yet?
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/scYenpbyJI0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/scYenpbyJI0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> While this town (is) busy sleeping, All the noise has died away. I walk the streets to stop my weeping, (Cause) she'll never change her ways. Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her. And my heart feels so still As I try to find the will To forget her, somehow. I think I've forgotten her now. Her love is a rose, pale and dying. Dropping her petals in land unknown All full of wine, the world before her, was sober with no place to go. Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her. My heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow. She's somewhere out there now. Well my tears falling down as I try to forget, Her love was a joke from the day that we met. All of her words, all of her men, all of my pain when I think back to when. Remember her hair as it shone in the sun, the smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done. Tell yourself over and over you won't ever need her again. But don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her. My heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow. She's out there somewhere now. Oh She was heartache from the day that I first met her. My heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget you, somehow. Cause I know you're somewhere out there right now. |
"Friendly Fire" - Sean Lennon
I don't want to hear another word from you now I'd rather be wrong life is mostly what you don't see anyway so just look away but our shadows never leave us alone down the bad roads they will follow us faithfully home you launched the assualt with the first cannonball my soldiers were sleeping I know that you thought it would never come down, down to the wire it's friendly fire in your room filled with the things that you've never done does anyone really care your shadow just wont leave you alone 'cos he knows well he knows what you've done you launched the assualt with the first cannonball my soldiers were sleeping I know that you thought it could never come down, down to the wire it's friendly fire waves don't wonder when you're drowning under the sea so don't look for me find her keep her lose her deserts you in the end you were my friend like your shadow no one knows you as well as I do you launched the assualt with the first cannonball my soldiers were sleeping I know that you thought it would never come down, down to the ground 'cos I was so tired then I'll get down down to the wire it's friendly fire |
