My Gift to You – Best Breakup Songs (Finally!)
Happy Belated Chrismukkah. Does anyone remember waaay back in February when I had that, “Valentine’s Day is OVER” Giveaway contest and everyone wrote in with their favorite breakup song(s)? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Well, I promised to create a playlist with everyone’s fabulous contest entries. It’s 10 months late, but I finally got around to it (and it’s awesome). Thanks to How Very Lucky and her “Oy to the World” Playlist for inspiring me to finally do this.
Here’s Your Best Breakup Songs Mix
(if you’re having trouble with the widget, just click through using the link above)
I didn’t use much (any) creativity in the mixing. It was first come/first listed, and I used every single song entered in the contest except that I only used one song per artist and songs that weren’t available on grooveshark (only 1 or 2) couldn’t be included.* I hope you enjoy it, it was a blast putting it together. It was a great reminder for me that I have the bestest, coolest readers in the blogosphere.
*in additional to my original “entry”, Your Ex-Lover is Dead by Stars, I added the Roy Orbison/KD Lang version of Crying because it’s awesome.

It’s never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It’s never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her…
It’s never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter…
It’s never over, she’s a tear that hangs inside my soul forever…
Jeff Buckley: Lover You Should Have Come Over. Breaks my heart every time.

Great work! I was turned on yesterday to Cee-Lo’s “Fuck You” – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc0mxOXbWIU. Check it out for a bit of loose “Hell Yes” to jingle in your pocket. Cee Lo just seems to rule, doesn’t he? If I were to go on, I’d have to add XTC, “That’s Really Super, Supergirl” (off Skylarking) – only for pure pop-candy fun, and of course, that XTC brand of hooky lyrical brilliance. Wishing you the best this year!
