Breakup music?

Ok, so Nathan and I broke up and I've been listening to my music practically non-stop, and I was wondering what you girlies listen to after a breakup and whether you listen to it to help or not.

My music choices this past few weeks have been anything by Nightwish(they're coming here in October, I'm so thrilled beyond belief! Maybe I'll get to thank Tuomas for the beautiful music that helps ease the pain of losing my fiance), the musical The Last 5 Years(about a breakup), and the soundtrack from the Phantom of the Opera. They all make me sing along, I can't help it, and Phantom reminds me that while there's darkness in my life now, there is hope for light again(that probably doesn't make sense..). Nightwish, the songs that help me most are Sleeping Sun, Ghost Love Score, and Creek Mary's Blood.

So what's your breakup music?

billy currington and norah jones and sad stuff like that..and a lot of his favorite songs..i just listen to it when i miss him so like..constantly and then i just sit there and cry..kind of depressing but eh :p

jeff buckley, the smiths, the cure, anathema and dido were favourites from my last break up..

but maybe you should be listening to some chirpy skaa or something? get you dancin' and forgettin'?

pssh. Coheed and Cambria for anger and ddr tunes for happiness. yeah yeah.

Awesome! Im going to see Nightwish in November. EXCITED!

But anyways...when I go through a breakup just listening to music doesn't quite cut it. I need to have one specific song thats like my victory song or something....I dont know if Im making any sense, but I only feel better about everything once I find that particular song. It can take a while to find the right one though.

My last breakup song was To Kill a King by Hungry Lucy.

Slightly off topic, more nightwish related.

I've listened to some of their stuff and like it and my boyfriend shoes me this yesterday and I rofled.
Misheard Lyrics

Thats amazing.

I just died laughing.

teehee so did we. theres some other ones of the same song but they arent as funny.

definately the best one

Not break up per se, as I've only done that whole deal once and music did not help a thing, but yay Nightwish! I'm seeing them in Nov.

I guess good distrought music though would be Epica (Memory-from Cats, Feint, etc.) or Nightwish too...Kuolema Tekee Taitelijian...ummmm...and Seether...yeh.

I dont think i listened to a certain type of music when I had the break up...just normal stuff...but then again I was happy...so not much help.

That's freaking awesome!

Best breakup songs:

I Love Myself Today by BIF NAKED
Tango Shoes by BIF NAKED
...Bif rocks much ass!

I prefer woman empowerment music during a break up rather than sad music.

I don't think it's really breakup music, but when I'm sad, I always listen to Lovedrug, I don't know. It's sad sounding music, and it gets the depression out of me!

I love that song, Hungry Lucy is awesome.

I tend to listen to any kind of song with HEAPS of guitar.

I listened to Miss Misery by Elliott Smith about 100x when i found out Boyfriend just wanted to be friends.

Elliott Smith is the best for sad moods. He's the best for every mood. yaar.

Oh yay! A Hungry Lucy fan! *intense high five*

Here's To You by Diffuser

"Here's to you and all your loving thoughts/Here's to you/You're such a fuckin' whore"

This is a great song to cheer up from a break up because a guy who breaks up with his girl is usually being a whore...
