break-up songs
« on: July 26, 2004, 12:06:04 am »
Ok... my best friend broke up with her boyfriend of 26 months in April. She was and is totally in love with him, and refuses to get over him, even though he's with a new girl now and told her he doesnt love her at all. They still hang out, which i'm totally against, because everytime after she sees him she cries forever. I'm trying to get her to understand she needs to forget him and not see him anymore. She said she cant, which i understand, but she needs to break contact with him so she can heal.
I want to make a CD for her full of break-up songs, about how now the person is better off without the lover and stronger. Definitely no songs about crying over someone.

So far I have these songs:
Stronger- Britney Spears
Leave- JoJo
Favorite Mistake- Sheryl Crow
Better Off- Ashlee Simpson
Surrender- Ashlee Simpson
He Wasn't- Avril Lavigne
Out of My Heart- BBmak
Are You Happy Now?- Michelle Branch (thanks Tia)
Fighter- Christina Aguilera (thanks Tia)
Afterglow- Vanessa Carlton Thanks Jessica!
Walk Away- Christina Agiler (thanks VaderDawsn)
Walk On- U2

That's so sweet of you!
Here are some ideas:

Christina Aguilera - Fighter
Michelle Branch - Are You Happy Now?

And maybe you should stick Red Ditty on the end, just to make her smile :D

That's all I can think of right now...

Ashlee Simpson's Better off says it all.

I love that song

Thanks Tia! those songs are good! I don't know about sticking Vanessa on there though. "Pretty Baby" was their song together.

You're welcome! Red Ditty shows a totally different side of VC, so you might be okay, but I don't know... Your call! :)

I thought about that...but it's not so much an 'I'm better of without him' song as an 'I'm going to wallow in my self pity/anger' song. Did that make any sense? Never mind :roll:

For all you broken hearted lovers lost, go find another one. 'Cause you know time won't wait and you'll be late, white rabbits on the run...

i think it's a mix of both. because there is part where she goes:

And now I'll make my way
Through another day
'cause I know better now
You'll drop another line
On someone else's time
But in me you still resound

but it's that last line that's kind of not the "i'm getting over you" theme.

what about Afterglow? not really a break up song, but an uplifter none the less :razz:

I saw that small bit, but I thought it didn't really compensate for all the wallowing - that's why I rejected it.

Afterglow is a good idea!

yeah - i mean, it's one line but the rest of it is pretty much saying "i may be getting over you but i think drowning myself in ice cream and crying is a better option" - which reminds me - i love ice cream. :razz:

and i heart afterglow. 'tis my favorite VC song :-)
