Best Break Up Songs

I am going to Try something new by making a playlist post where I leave links to certain songs that best represent a theme. This time it is Best Break Up Songs.

1. +44 "No It Isn't" ( I think that these lyrics say a lot about not just breakups but abandoning relationships in general. It is rumored that Mark Hoppus wrote this song about Tom Delong when Blink-182 broke up. The reason it is titled No It Isn't is in reference to this rumor. Mark Hoppus wanted to make clear to his fans but I say "Me thinks the lady doth protest too much." I really love this song and it is great to just say "Eff you." Make sure to click the hyper links with each video.)



2. Dashboard Confessional- "Rapid Hope Loss" (This is just a personal favorite I think the best part of this song is the line "So much for all the promises you made they severed you well and now they are wasted on me." Ignore the front man Chris' horrible hair this is the only video where I have seen it like that.)



3. Damien Rice- "Rootless Tree" ( I have never heard someone sing the F word so beautifully.)



4. Kat Micucci- "Just Say When" (Kate Micucci has some really great and up beat songs and I love the everyone of them but this one is by far my favorite and completely fit the theme.)



5. The Twenty Twos- "Touch and Go" (Oh the Twenty Twos you left to soon. I wish that their record label hadn't of screwed them over so they could make more songs like this. Such great lyrics and arrangements and overall bad ass chicks.)



6. Earlimart- "Happy Alone" (The title pretty much says it all and I am glad someone sang about loving yourself and being fine with being alone.)



7. Wham "Careless Whisper" (<--- Yea I went there.)

8. Don Henley - "Forgiveness" (I remember hearing this at a wedding when I was around 9 or 10 and thought it was odd because this is definitely a breakup song.)



9. Tina Parol "Who's Got Your Money?" (When your man screws you over do it back and make it hurt his pocket. Thanks Tina Parol this is a girl breakup anthem.)



10. Justin Bieber- "Baby" ( I love to roll my windows down and blare this song and sing at the top of my lungs. I don't care what anyone thinks. )



11. Tritt Travis "Here's Quarter, Call Someone Who Cares." (My manager at work asked me to put this one here. So I complied. ahah.)



12. She & Him- "Thieves" (Requested by Ashley Sanchez)



13. Something Corporate- "Konstantine" (Nine minutes long but an amazing song. This has got to be one of my favorite songs ever.)



14. The Killers- "Mr. Brightside"



15. My Chemical Romance- "I'm Not Okay."

I love My Chemical Romance "i'm not ok" it's one of my favorite songs. But if we are talkin break ups you really can't beat country music. Like Dierks Bently-Settle for a Slowdown, George Strait- Ocean Front Property and there is countless others. Other songs I love would be Ben Folds Five-Smoke and Vertical Horizon- Best i ever had. Awesome job! Whats the next theme on the agenda?

Ok...you lost me at Justin Bieber. So disappointed in you Mary! ;)

But, "I'm Not Okay" is the song I like to listen to when I'm stressed. Somehow it makes me feel okay. :) And I love +44. Saw them live once. Pretty awesome.
