anyway my breakup stuff is just p much all Mayday Parade lol
also a few Spill Canvas songs for good measure.
Basic AF.

 

I also don't have spotify lol

But Enjoy Your Day by Alkaline Trio is a super cheesy and melodramatic breakup song.

 

my breakup music would be the National

if I had breakup music.

 

I guess I'm still peak-2013 up in here as I still rock spotify over apple music.

 

Spotify >>>> Apple Music

 

Just wanted to draw attention to how good that JEW song is. So good and underrated.

After my most recent breakup I listened to A LOT of death cab.

 

Break-up music was Get Hurt and On the Impossible Past. The latter of which was terrifyingly specific.

 

I always forget about Call It Off until I listen to it and holy shit that song destroys me

 

i am suddenly reminded of Call Off the Wedding Bells by The Early November

 

A lot of Brand New and TBS worked for me too.

Blue in the Face by Alkaline Trio is a good self loathing break up sog

 

Whenever he says "either you're just bad at cheating or there's something in your heart you wished I knew" I crumble and die basically

 

Call It Off and Motion City's "Hold Me Down" are the two songs that can transform my entire mood, regardless of how happy I am, haha.

 

last breakup was the girl I'm with now tryna remember what it was...

lots of frank ocean, drake (since nothing was the same dropped shortly after and it became an obsession, esp. "connect"), and Kanye west - yeezus cus of "guilt trip" lol

 

My last breakup was def all Stripped (I listened to it like 5 times a day for months) and My December which is an unfairly received gem!!

 

Last time it was Goodness Pt. 1 by The Hotelier and a lot of Daughter, Julien Baker, O’Brother, and Caspian. Fun times.

 

As for proper miserable breakup songs, I'd have to suggest A Bitter Divorce by Captain We're Sinking and Call Your Girlfriend by Allison Weiss. Everchanging by Rise Against is a miserable fast one.

I'd second Julien Baker, but she's pretty much amazing at any time.

The soundtrack to my huge and awful breakup was Everything You Ever Loved by Make Do And Mend. It came out right about when it happened and St Anne kicked me right in the feel zone.

 

Me last breakup

 

the big mystery to me is - what do people listen to when they're happy / in a happy relationship / newly engaged? like, 99% of all music can be interpreted for sad frowny times. but what do you listen to when you're happy? let's say you just proposed or got proposed to (and said yes) and now you're driving home - what music in playing? or, on a not so scary scale, let's say you just hit it off on a first date or started seeing someone "seriously". what music do you listen to on a way home?

think about this from time to time because whenever i'm in a good mood i really have nothing that works, at least not lyrically. usually have to resort to just something loud and fast and pretend they're happily playing loud and fast.

 

as for 'after breakup' songs / music i remember years ago playing "Mirrors" by Timberlake a lot, but most just because that song rules no matter what moment in life is taking place. and the album had just come out so it i was already addicted to it.

 

When i was younger, a lot of it would be what was popular on the radio and stuff, like Timberlake's "Love Song"....I didn't particularly like the song, but me and my gf at the time had danced/grinded to it a lot at our high school dances and we were in love and etc.

Now a days I'm an old fogie who doesn't listen to the radio much and couldn't tell you what 95% of the popular songs are. So yeah I mostly still listen to the sad stuff I mostly like haha. But it helps that my fiancé likes things like TDAG too because then we can sing along together.

But there are a lot of good happy love songs out there...Every Thug by Alkaline Trio, The Luckiest by Ben Folds, Peter Gabriel's Book of Love, Closer by Tegan and Sara, etc.

 

Speaking of Tegan and Sara, "Where Does The Good Go" is another good break up song, dylan

 

Met someone really cool and then found out they're not from where they say and I'm not even sure they're from somewhere 100,000 miles away because they speak such poor English. Bummer.

 

That song is amaze

 

I personally underrate that album


In terms of happy songs, anything w nostalgia works for me. Like, throw ocean avenue on or the middle and I'm in

 

I really really like this post. Just thought I'd say that.
I'm right where you are. Blessed that everything professionally/physically is going well. I don't have cause to complain that the relationship side hasn't worked out. I tell myself to keep calm and be patient; that good things come to those who least expect them; that it'll work itself out -- but it's been over two years now since I've been in any relationship, and three years since I've been in something serious. I'm wondering whether I'm the guy resting up before the mountain climb, or whether I'm sitting waiting for the mountain to come to me.
I'm nervous there's something different I should be doing, but at the same time I can't think of something I'm not doing. So either I'm right where I need to be and the stars haven't aligned yet, or I'm an old man who thinks he's a knight starting to catch his reflection in a mirrored shield.
