What's your favorite heartbreak song?
Submitted by esta86.
I'm not sure that I necessarily classify it as a "heartbreak" song, but Ben Folds Five's "Selfless, Cold, and Composed" is, in my opinion, the best break-up-related song I've ever heard. (Harvey Danger's cover of "Underground," a song originally by "This Busy Monster," is one of the best angry-break-up songs I've ever heard.) Now that I'm thinking more in-depth, Billy Joel's "And So It Goes" is a pretty amazing "heartbreak" song. Oh geez, and let's not forget Billy Vera and the Beaters, with "At This Moment." Amazing stuff. Alison Krauss's "New Favorite" is the only one by a woman I can think of right now, but that's just because I'm determined not to think too much into this question right now.
And now, to attempt to knock out the last stress of my week: a 6-7 page paper that I haven't even really begun to think about, which I will have to turn in around 9:30 tomorrow morning.
I said, "Ben [my iPod], you know how to make things better. Go, baby, go." And I put Ben on Shuffle (skipping the songs I didn't particularly care to listen to... Ben's amazing, but like everyone else, he's not perfect), and I thought it would be interesting to document what happened (omitting the ones I've skipped and in numbered form to save space):
- 8stops7 - "Question Everything"
- Travis - "Funny Thing"
- The Beatles - "I Feel Fine"
- Bush - "Come Down"
- Green Day - "Are We the Waiting"
- Simon and Garfunkel - "The Times They Are A-Changin'"
- The Spores - "Moon Shine Down"
- Fuel - "Solace"
- Coldplay - "Parachutes"
- Ben Folds - "Evaporated (Live)"
- Harvey Danger - "Moral Centralia (Demo)" (forgot I had this... never listened to it before)
- Chopin - Prelude No. 11 (I think in G# Major?)
- Matchbox 20 - "Hang"
- Trust Company - "Erased" (well, that was dumb)
- [massive amounts of skipping]
- Colin Hay - "Beautiful World"
And now I do believe I'll settle on this album for a while.
