Breakup Mix

With Gotye's earwig song, I am constantly reminded of the need for a new beak-up mix. In the early '90's I created a classic mix, perfect for wallowing in sorrow, while eating pints of Ben and Jerry's ice cream.  Below is the start of an updated list of songs:

Sorrowful, sad songs for sobbing:
  • Somebody That I Used to Know - Gotye, 
  • Nothing Compares 2 U- Sinead O'Connor
  • Throwing It All Away- Genesis
  • Someone Like You -Adele
  • The One I Love- R.E.M.
  • Against All Odds - Phil Collins
  • I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston (which has an even bigger depressing wallop now!)
  • Yesterday -The Beatles
  • Rolling in the Deep - Adele
  • Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell (or anything from that album really)
  • It Must Have Been Love - Roxette (ok, I know, I know... not the greatest, but it sticks with me for some reason)
  • Someone Else's Story - chess (yes, a Musical, but I love singing this song!)
  • I And Love and You - Avett Brothers
  • Little Lion Man - Mumford and Sons
  • Crazy - Patsy Cline
  • “Love on the Rocks” – Neil Diamond
  • “Separate Ways” – Journey
  • This Woman’s Work” – Kate Bush
  • “Total Eclipse of the Heart” – Bonnie Tyler
 And for the angry phase,
  • Forget You- CeeLo Green
  • You Oughta Know- Alanis Morissette 
  • Stronger- Kelly Clarkson
  • Roses - Outkast
  •   “Everyday I Love You Less and Less” – Kaiser Chiefs
  • “Since U Been Gone” – Kelly Clarkson
