Music To Break A Heart To

[Bonochick]

I'm making a CD...I need it to be as heartbreaking as possible.

Suggestions?

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

i am trying to break your heart - wilco.

seems like an obvious one.

 

[IWasBored]

barenaked ladies--break your heart

oh you were looking for less obvious songs? hmm...lemme think...

 

[u2popmofo]

Twisted Sister - 'You're Gonna Burn in Hell' ........ok maybe not, hehe


For reals:

The Smiths - 'Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me'
Beck - 'Lost Cause'
The Cure - 'Bloodflowers'

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I Can't Make You Love Me - Bonnie Raitt
Only In Dreams - Weezer
You're Missing - Bruce Springsteen
Change - Melissa Etheridge
Yesterday - The Beatles
Power of Goodbye - Madonna
The Cure - Letter to Elise
Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye

 

[u2popmofo]

Only In Dreams - Weezer

I would say 'O Girlfriend' and 'Butterfly' would also be good Weezer choices.

"she hates me"-Puddle of Mud

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

[Bonochick]

I never said they were good.
I just said that she fuckin' hates me.

I actually went through some pretty bad relationship stuff not too long ago and made a cd called "Heartbroken" I will get it from home tonight and tell you my tracklisting tomorrow. It's pretty much centered around relationships. Is that what you're looking for??

2 songs to tide you over until I get you the full list are:

David Gray: Say Hello, Wave Goodbye
Ryan Adams: Memories of You

I'll try and post the full tracklisting as soon as possible. 18 songs of pure heartbreaking beauty.

 

[Bonochick]

That would be excellent, womanfish.

Thanks to everybody else...more suggestions would be appreciated!

 

[u2popmofo]

The Cure - 'Pictures of You'
The Cure - 'Treasure'
Jimmy Eat World - 'Hear You Me'
Coldplay - 'The Scientist'

You Might As Well Try And Fuck Me- The Music.

 

[anitram]

Go with possibly the saddest song of all time, Bonnie Raitt's "I can't make you love me."

What a tune.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Gah, I forgot about Coldplay.


*breaks down*

 

[Ms. I-Lo]

the cure: Pictures of You

 

[Ms. I-Lo]

You Might As Well Try And Fuck Me- The Music.

will Mr. Raver himself be humping the mic stand with this song playing?


Coldplay: Sparks

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Crying - Roy Orbison
Jann Arden - Insensitive

[HeartlandGirl]

These songs are gutwrenching, but not necessarily about relationships. Guess it depends on what you mean by heartbreaking. These songs get me every time.

This Woman's Work - Maxwell
Tomorrow, Wendy - Concrete Blonde
Trouble - Coldplay
Love Is Blindness - U2 (preferably a live version)
How to Disappear Completely - Radiohead
Raining in Baltimore - Counting Crows
I've Seen It All - Bjork and Thom Yorke
Wonderland - Angie Aparo
Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad - Moby
Hey Jupiter or Winter - Tori Amos
Without You I'm Nothing - Placebo
The Promise - Tracy Chapman

I'd better stop there...I'm getting depressed!

Oh, and:

"Why" Annie Lennox
"Still" Macy Gray
"Jezebel" 10,000 Maniacs (esp. the Unplugged version) "Called myself Jezebel for wanting to leave..."
"Gracs Is Gone" Dave Matthews Band

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I would add "Warning Sign" by Coldplay, but that is more of a "oh why did i break up with my boyfriend/girlfriend song"

 

[kariatari]

I would add "Warning Sign" by Coldplay, but that is more of a "oh why did i break up with my boyfriend/girlfriend song"
