So I’ve been thinking for ages that I had already posted a list of “songs that made me cry so hard during break-ups that they are useless to me for years afterwards” but as far as I can tell, I never actually did. And then I read this awesome post about break-up ALBUMS (which I found via link here).

Now that is some serious commitment there, to listen to a WHOLE album during a break-up. I just usually wind up with one song on repeat, repeat, repeat, while I torture myself endlessly over the might-have-beens.

I’m sure I will add to this list as I think of them, but off the top of my head, these songs STILL kinda hurt to listen to:

• Nothing Compares 2 U – Sinead O’Connor (singing a Prince song, of course)
  
• If I Laugh – Cat Stevens
  
• Don’t Speak – No Doubt
  
• Together or Alone – Sebadoh (ow!ow!ow!)
  
• Let Me In – REM (really about Kurt Cobain, but all about a break-up to me!)

What are yours?
