loveisallaround Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 I'm not talking about mushy, gushy, feel like crap songs - I'm talking about the in-your-face empowering kind of songs. What are your favourite ones? Any suggestions? I need to extend my iPod playlist. My suggestions are: Bif Naked - I Love Myself Today Christina Aguilera - Fighter Lisa Marie Presley - Idiot Kelly Osbourne - Shut Up! Elton John - I'm Still Standing Destiny's Child - Survivor Martha Wainwright - Bloody Mother F&*%ing As%hole LeAnne Rimes - Life Goes On

lindya Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 The best is yet to come - Luba Creep - Radiohead (you have to imagine your ex is singing it about you, not vice versa) No Feelings - Sex Pistols
quankanne Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 that canadian chick, alanis .... morrisette? jagged little pill I think is the name of the album. sure is a bitchy-song filled CD. But in a good kind of way
BrotherAaron Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 Smashing Pumpkins - Today Offspring - Self Esteem Green Day - Welcome to Paradise (it's about moving, but it seems applicable to breaking up too... just about getitng better with time) Sublime - What I Got Against Me! - Jordan's First Choice Hot Water Music - Trusty Chords Third Eye Blind - Hows it Gonna Be? Rammstein - Du Hast Alakaline Trio - Radio 1

Whenever I hear "Against All Odds" (have you heard Postal Service's version, btw?) I just want to break down and sob hysterically because the lyrics speak to my situation so well. Jerk. I heard the Stereophonics song on the way home from work today. Once again, I love, love LOVE Sirius. And a few weeks ago I went to a bar and played "Special" on the jukebox. It made me feel a little better. My thoughts: "You Suck" ~The Murmurs "Caught Out There (I Hate You So Much Right Now)" ~Kelis "A Lack of Color" ~Death Cab for Cutie "Ex-Factor" ~Lauryn Hill "Ex-Girlfriend" ~No Doubt "Simple Kind of Life" ~No Doubt "Don't Speak" ~No Doubt "Can't Stand Losing You" ~The Police "How Soon Is Now?" ~The Smiths "Kiss Off" ~Violent Femmes "Pain" ~Jimmy Eat World I'm sure I could think of tons more if I tried.
sweetadeline Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 Cake's version of "I Will Survive" (by Gloria Gaynor) is one of the best breakup songs ever. The original ain't bad either.
SinceIvebeenlovingU Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 You reminded me of some Sting - If you love someone set them free John Legend - Ordinary People, Used to love you Pearl Jam - Black Garbage - Its all over but the crying Ben Folds Five - Song for the dumped " - Smoke Ben Folds - Landed Coldplay - The Scientist Coldplay - Warning Sign Madonna - You'll see, Power of goodbye, frozen Oasis - Don't look back in anger RHCP - Knock me down, Taste the pain Jet - Look what you've done Beatles - I'll follow the sun Robbie Williams - No Regrets Cure - Pictures of You U2 - With or Without You, Still haven't found what I'm looking for Weezer - Haunt you everyday, this is such a pity, across the sea Arcade Fire - Crown of Love Nine Inch Nails - Hurt
tanbark813 Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 Originally posted by SinceIvebeenlovingU Pearl Jam - Black Yes, definitely. And a damn fine karaoke song to boot.
ConfusedInOC Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 Megadeth, believe it or not, has some very poignant break up songs like "tears in a vile." Mustaine really likes breakup songs, lol.
Fallen_Angel Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 I thought of some more after browsing my CD collection. Lord help us if I delve into the MP3s. I can't believe I forgot Coldplay & U2, SinceIvebeenlovingU...I am ashamed of myself! Hehe. Anyway, I will list the more depressing songs first, since you said you DIDN'T want them, love. In their defense, these are all beautiful songs by awesome artists, and I'd feel remiss if I didn't list them: "What It Takes" ~Aerosmith "Rapid Hope Loss" ~Dashboard Confessional "The Good Fight" ~Dashboard Confessional "Pretender's Got My Heart" ~Alisha's Attic (found on Bridget Jones soundtrack) "Leave" ~Matchbox 20 "Grace Is Gone" ~Dave Matthews Band "The Space Between" ~Dave Matthews Band "Stay or Leave" ~Dave Matthews Band "We Just Disagree" ~Dave Mason "Cold" ~Annie Lennox "Why Should I Cry for You" ~Sting "Hold On" ~Sarah McLachlan "Circle" ~Sarah McLachlan "Do What You Have to Do" ~Sarah McLachlan "Porcelain" ~Moby "Someday We'll Know" ~New Radicals "Crying Like a Church on Monday" ~New Radicals "Love's a Hard Game to Play" ~Stevie Nicks "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime" ~Beck (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind soundtrack) "The World Has Turned & Left Me Here" ~Weezer I also neglected "Black" by Pearl Jam!! Sheesh. Ok, now for the not-quite-as-depressing songs: "Who Makes You Feel" ~Dido "Go Your Own Way" ~Fleetwood Mac "Crutch" ~Matchbox 20 "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy" ~Sarah McLachlan "Here I Go Again" ~Whitesnake (cheesy alert!) "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" ~Poison (cheesier still!) "Rearview Mirror" ~Pearl Jam "Footsteps" ~Pearl Jam "You Wouldn't Believe" ~311 "You Had Me" ~Joss Stone "It Ain't Me, Babe" ~Bob Dylan
SinceIvebeenlovingU Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 fallen...u never told me how you liked that cd?
amerikajin Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 Pearl Jam - Black Boyz II Men - End of the Road Marc Anthony - Don't let me leave

She Got The Gold Mine, I Got The Shaft - Jerry Reed She Broke My Heart So I Busted Her Jaw - Spooky Tooth Thank God And Greyhound She's Gone! - Roy Clark I Kissed The Bus For Hauling Her Away - The Geezenslaws
dibdab Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 A perfect circle - sleeping beauty Pearl jam - rearviewmirror frou frou - let go and on a positive note Reef - good feeling Reef - higher vibration Reef - come back brighter Tool - the patient Tool - lateralus these are a couple more that i couldn't bring myself to listen to because she did me too much wrong and doesn't deserve the sentiment Pearl jam - black Alex parks - chasing the blue
eastern_mystique Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 I can't think of too many angry, defiant break-up songs but here are a few: - Michelle Branch Are You Happy Now? ("Could you look me in the eyes/ and tell me that you're happy now?/ I've had all that I can take/ I'm not about to break/ 'cause I'm happy now") - Incubus Leech ("I'm kicking myself that I shared spit with you, yeah/ so f*ck yourself and f*ck this bleeding heart of mine!") - The Calling Adrienne - No Doubt Ex Girlfriend - AudioVent The Energy ("Every now and then I dream about you/ I've lost the feeling, it's dead skin/ I will never be dependent again") - AudioVent Beautiful Addiction ("I hate to love to love to hate you/ But there's no end for me in sight/ So I'll be hooked on hating you/ While you continue to suck me dry")
eastern_mystique Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 Oh I forgot one, that I'm listening to a lot at the moment: Hot Hot Heat Goodnight, Goodnight ("So goodnight, goodnight/ you're embarassing me, you're embarassing you/ so goodnight, goodnight/ walk away from the door, walk away from my life/ so goodnight...") It's a very fun punk/emo song
SinceIvebeenlovingU Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 lol...dont ever post anything from the new hot hot heat album...they are sell outs and their debut album..."make up the break down" is about 10,000 times better than elevator...IMHO...
