Favorite break up songs

[GGJaguar]

In no particular order...

The Kinks - "Better Things"





The Smithereens - "Something New"





Deep Blue Something - "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

 

[GGJaguar]

And finally, the Queen of Doom, Joan Armatrading's "I Need You". After you hear this you'll see why I prefer "happy" power pop break up songs.

And from their 2nd. album another Gene classic:

 

[Stagefright]

I find this refreshing since 90% of commercial Country music seems to come from the angle of "I'm nothing without you". Seriously? Give me half a chance and I'll show you what fun looks like.

Hence the old adage, "What do you get when you play a country song backwards?" You get your truck back, you get your dog back, and you get your girlfriend back.

A real fun song to play, too.

Linda Ronstadt - "You're No Good"

She really owns this one.

 

[Opsimath]

She really owns this one.

She does indeed.
