Songs for heartbreaks?

Jim Croce’s Operator
Frank Sinatra’s One for my baby, and one more for the road

Sylvia’s Mother by Dr. Hook and his Medicine Show.

Linda Ronstadt’s Long Long Time

can you tell I listen to this stuff a lot?

Fuego – Murder by Death
But I Was Cool – Oscar Brown Jr.
Insylum – Oxbow with Marianne Faithful
St. James Infirmary – Lou Rawls
Hold On Hold On Marianne Faithful (Neko Case cover)

@filmfann : I love Linda LOVE LOVE Linda…but to put a finer point on that tune, Garry White wrote it I believe.

Ohhhh…how about Joe Jackson’s Breaking Us in Two?

My all-time fav——“Two Lives” by Karen Carpenter

A ..group of 5
Jet City Woman

Alone Again
Cold Gin
IMN

It’s kinda shameful how many of these I can think of.

The Case Continues – Ute Lemper
Paper Bag – Fiona Apple
Missed – PJ Harvey

and then there’s heartbreaks like this…

Love Song – Andrew Jackson Jihad

It’s Not Over by Secondhand Seranade

Orbison. You need Roy Orbison. “In Dreams”. “It’s Over”.

She’s Out of My Life

Angus and Julia Stone – All of Me

Frank Sinatra – Why Try To Change Me Now?

Fiona Apple – Love Ridden

Actually.. now that I’ve started thinking about it, I have several more suggestions. What sort of music do you like?

hey guys!thanks for all the songs posted:D some were really great!but i was wondering too, anyone has something latest?like i usually listen to songs by kelly clarkson,demi lovato,colbie caillat,shontelle…THANKS!!!<3

I feel like my age is showing. I don’t know who most of those artists are…. but the Angus & Julia song came out in 2007. That’s kinda recent. I think. lol.

River by Joni Mtchell

Heart if the Matter by Don Henley

I can’t make you love me by Bonnie Rait

Check our William Fitzsimmons The Sparrow and the Crow (2009). He is a therapist who went into the music business and did a chronical of his divorce on the above album. Although parts are repetitive, some of the duets between the two people on a few songs are amazing. Joshua Radin also has some really good heartbreak material.

@janedelila Good call on Roy Orbison! My favorite is Crying , tho I prefer the Don McLean version.

George Jones, “He Stoppped Loving Her Today!”

Tom Petty + The Heartbreakers – I Should Have Known it.

@BoBo1946 careful with that one. Some of us have had husbands and boyfriends die and that one will break a heart.

@janedelila oh, without saying! Understood! Having said that, it is a great song!

Other than the classics…
Beck’s album “Sea Change”
