Music...breakup music
Permalink Closed

So I'm tired of hearing all the sappy radio songs about love, blah blah blah.  I want to make a cd of good, empowering screw him music.  Any favorite songs that just make you feel good & independent?  I've been blaring Sunday Morning by No Doubt lately.  Help me make a cd!

Oh man - I have this cd. I have many of these cds. (The I hate him cd, that is.)

Here are some good places to start:

40 Boys in 40 Nights - The Donnas (more of I'm single and loving it type song)
When I Come Around - Green Day
Spiderwebs - No Doubt
Just a Girl - No Doubt
* Perfect Day - Hoku (very empowering in a I'll-do-what-I-want-kinda way)
Watch Me Shine - Joanna Pacitti
Right to Be Wrong - Joss Stone
* You Had Me - Joss Stone (great!)
Since U Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson
It's On the Rocks - The Donnas (I highly recommend this whole album "Spend the Night" for a lot of girl empowerment.)
TKO - Le Tigre
* Can't Get Me Down - Lo Ball
You Suck - The Murmurs
* One Girl Revolution - SUPERCHIC(K)

* indicates the best of the best

The Afghan Whigs album Gentleman is one of the most bitter, angry end of love albums I have ever heard. I don't know how empowering it is, but it's pretty good.
Gone Daddy Gone by the Violent Femmes
Best of You by the Foo Fighters


On a cheesier note,
It's Not Right, but It's Ok by Whitney Houston
Fighter by Christina Aguilera

I always thought "Please Bleed" by Ben Harper was the ultimate breakup song. smile.gif

My alltime favorite break up song is I hate you so much right now by Kelis.
I also like macy grey and india aire(sp?)
I really like Mary J Blige, but not always the most empowering.

I love this idea. The song that comes to mind first is:

Untouchable Face by Ani DiFranco

Here is my cure for when I am feeling down.

Lock your doors and windows.  Make sure no one is home or will come home within the next 10-15 minutes.  Close window coverings.

Gather the following
1. full-length mirror
2. a fan (like this:

or this


3. a hairbrush

4. a copy of Lita Ford's Kiss Me Deadly


Instructions
1. Do your hair and makeup.  Put on your hottest dress.
2. Turn on the fan- -to high.  Make sure it is blowing on your face.
3. Turn up your stereo/computer as loud as you (and your neighbors) can stand.
4. Make sure you have your hairbrush in-hand
5. Start playing Kiss Me Deadly while looking at yourself in the mirror.
6. Sing along at the top of your lungs with Ms. Ford into your hairbrush, ensuring to include all your hottest dance moves, poses, and air guitar acrobatics while doing so.
7. Relax a little after finishing the song.
8. Repeat if necessary.

ps
You could also go download yourself some Liz Phair (not her new stuff); you'll feel much better.  Exile in Guyville or Whip-Smart

"You Oughta Know" by Alanis is the first song that pops into my head when I think of "breakup music".  Such a classic.

I always liked "I Need Love" by Sam Phillips... it's super upbeat and always makes me wish I were driving a car fast down a highway when I listen to it. In this fantasy, I am wearing worn in jeans, vintage cowboy boots, and aviators. It's that kind of a song.

Also, I don't know if you like country, but pretty much anything by Jo Dee Messina will put you in a good mood... "Downtime," "Lesson in Leaving," and "Bye Bye Baby" (or maybe it's just "Bye Bye?"). Oh, and also "I'm Not Going Down" and DEFINITELY "My Give-a-Damn Is Busted." The woman is all about "screw you, loser"-type of songs.

Two more: "In State" and "Back to Me" by Kathleen Edwards. "In State" is about a woman who gets fed up with her good-for-nothing outlaw boyfriend and tips the cops off on his hideout. "Don't say you'll change after the next time... maybe 20 years in state will change your mind..."
