Since there seem to be a lot of favorite song threads going around this BBS, as well as a rash of breakups - what are your favorite songs about love gone wrong?
"Sometimes When We Touch" (can't think of the artist right now. It's an 80's song) Also, when I was getting divorced in '91, I was hooked on "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac.
Weezer - The World has turned and left me here BT - Remember...this song is AWESOME. DL it as soon as possible.
So you wanted to take a break Slow it down some, and have some space Well **** you too Give me my money back Give me my money back, you b**** I want my money back And don't forget And don't forget to give me back my black T-shirt I wish I hadn't bought you dinner Right before you dumped me on your front porch Give me my money back Give me my money back, you b**** I want my money back And don't forget And don't forget to give me back my black T-shirt So you wanted to take a break Slow it down some, and have some space Give me my money back Give me my money back, you b**** I want my money back I want my money back And don't forget… "Song For The Dumped", Ben Folds Five.
Songs that seem to apply in these situations, with sample quotes: Angels of the Silences - Counting Crows "Well I guess you left me with some feathers in my hand. Did it make it any easier to leave me where I stand?" Ordinary World - Duran Duran "Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say, Pride will tear us both apart. Well now pride's gone out the window, cross the rooftops, run away. Left me in the vacuum of my heart." Nightswimming - REM "You, I thought I knew you. You I cannot judge." Every Rose Has Its Thorn - Poison "And I know that you'd be here right now if I could let you know somehow..." Should've Known Better - Richard Marx (yes, yes, I know, but he wrote some good songs) "I gave you all of my body and soul, never believing we might lose control."
All that comes to mind right now for me is "End of the Road" by Boyz II Men. I know there are others but that one is such a strong one for me.
U2 - "With or Without You" See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side I wait for you Sleight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails she makes me wait And I wait without you With or without you With or without you Through the storm we reach the shore You give it all but I want more And I'm waiting for you With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away My hands are tied My body bruised, she's got me with Nothing to win and Nothing left to lose And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you With or without you AND Boyz II Men - On Bended Knee Darlin' I can't explain Where did we lose our way Girl it's drivin' me insane And I know I just need one more chance To prove my love to you If you come back to me I'll guarantee That I'll never let you go Can we go back to the days our love was strong Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong Can somebody tell me how to get things back The way they use to be Oh God give me a reason I'm down on bended knee I'll never walk again Until you come back to me I'm down on bended knee So many nights I dream of you Holding my pillow tight I know I don't need to be alone When I open up my eyes To face reality Every moment without you It seems like eternity I'm begging you, begging you come back to me Can we go back to the days our love was strong Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong Can somebody tell me how to get things back The way they use to be Oh God give me a reason I'm down on bended knee I'll never walk again Until you come back to me I'm down on bended knee Gonna swallow my pride, say I'm sorry Stop pointing fingers the blame is on me I want a new life and I want it with you If you feel the same don't ever let it go You gotta believe in the spirit of love It can heal all things we won't hurt any more No I don't believe our love's terminal I'm down on my knees begging you please Come home Can we go back to the days our love was strong Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong Can somebody tell me how to get things back The way they use to be Oh God give me a reason I'm down on bended knee I'll never walk again Until you come back to me I'm down on bended knee Can we go back to the days our love was strong Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong Can somebody tell me how to get things back The way they use to be Oh God give me a reason I'm down on bended knee I'll never walk again Until you come back to me I'm down on bended knee Wanna build a new life Just you and me Gonna make you my wife Raise a family
You Oughta Know -- Alanis Morissette ..."And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back, I hope you feel it..." Classic!
Its Raining in Baltimore- the Counting Crows the best sad song ever made. that sugar ray song...all the things that she used to bring, all the songs that she used to sing... i like that one. its not as meloncholy, but it gets nostolgic about all the things about the relationship youll never experience again. When its over......thats the time i fall in love again... stumbeline -smashing pumpkins. landslide- smashing pumpkins. first song off Pisces iscariot- smashing pumpkins cherry- smashing pumpkins Crazy baby? -Joan Osborne.. see i have a hard time remembering song titles, because when i like a song, i just remember it as the # on the cd. oh yeah #4 is good, or whatever.. there are others. counting crows is always good, that guy (adam duritz) is more sad than i am. TRUST ME!

Linkin Park - In The End "What it meant to me, will eventually be a memory...... In the end, it DOESNT even matter " Linkin Park - Points of Authority "You love the way I look at you While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through You take away if I give in My life, my pride is broken" Tony Rich Project - Nobody Knows it But Me "The nights are lonely, the days are so sad And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had And I'm missin' you And nobody knows it but me" Staind - Outside "I am on the outside - I'm looking in I can see through you - see your true colors Cause inside you're ugly - ugly like me I can see through you - see to the real you" Thats all I can think of right now.
ALL of the greatest breakup songs are included in one album for your convenience. The album is Blood on the Tracks. The artist is Bob Dylan. Good luck.
Making my way downtown. Walking fast. Faces pass and I'm homebound. Staring blankly ahead. Just making my way, Making a way through the crowd. And I need you, And I miss you, And now I wonder. If I could fall into the sky Do you think time would pass me by? 'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles. If I could just see you... tonight. It's always times like these, When I think of you, And I wonder if you ever think of me. 'Cause everything's so wrong, And I don't belong. Living in your precious memory 'Cause I need you And I miss you And now I wonder... If I could fall into the sky, Do you think time would pass me by? Oh,'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles, If I could just see you... tonight. And I I don't wanna let you know, I I drown in your memory, I I don't wanna let this go I I don't. Making my way downtown, Walking fast. Faces pass and I'm homebound. Staring blankly ahead. Just making my way. Making a way through the crowd. And I still need you, And I still miss you, And now I wonder... If I could fall into the sky, Do you think time would pass us by? 'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles If I could just see you... oh oh If I could fall into the sky, Do you think time would pass me by? 'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles, If I could just see you. If I could just hold you....tonight.
Joy Division, Love Will Tear Us Apart When routine bites hard, and ambitions are low And resentment rides high, but emotions won't grow And we're changing our ways, taking different roads Then love, love will tear us apart again Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side Is my timing that flawed - our respect run so dry? Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives Love, love will tear us apart again You cry out in your sleep - all my failings expose There's a taste in my mouth, as desperation takes hold Just that something so good just can't function no more When love, love will tear us apart again Joy Divsion, 24 Hours So this is permanence - love's shattered pride What once was innocence, turned on its side Grey cloud hangs over me - marks every move Deep in the memory of what once was love Oh how I realised how I wanted time Put into perspective - tried so hard to find Just for one moment I thought I'd found my way Destiny unfolded - I watched it slip away Excessive flashpoints - beyond all reach Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep Let's take a ride out - see what we can find A valueless collection of hopes and past desires I never realised the lengths I'd have to go All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know Just for one moment I heard someone call Looked beyond the day in hand - there's nothing there at all Now that I've realised how it's all gone wrong Got to find some therapy - this treatment takes too long Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway Got to find my destiny before it gets too late
Boyz II Men - 4 Seasons Of Loneliness I long for the warmth of days gone by When you were mine But now those days are memories in time Life's empty without you by my side My heart belongs to you No matter what I try When I get courage up to love somebody new It always falls apart cause they just Can't compare to you You love won't release me I'm bound under ball and chain Reminiscing our love as I watch four season's change [Chorus: ] In comes the winter breeze That chills the air and drifts the snow And I imagine kissing you under the mistletoe When springtime makes its way here Lilac blooms reminds me of the scent of your perfume When summer burns with heat I always get the hots for you Go skinny dippin' in the ocean where we used to do When autumn sheds the leaves the trees are bare When you're not here it doesn't feel the same Remember the nights when we closed our eyes And vowed that you and I would be in love for all time Anytime I think about these things is shared with you I break down and cry cause I get so emotional Until you release me I'm bound under ball and chain Reminiscing our love as I watch four seasons change [Chorus] This loneliness Has crushed my heart Please let me love again Cause I need your love to comfort me and ease my pain Or four seasons will bring the loneliness again [Chorus ] It's even sadder when you listen to it
