Despite my best efforts to avoid artsy shit, I have found that many different emotions and situations can be expressed by certain songs. And, with the explosion in record companies and the ability for any Tom, Dick, or Harry to put out a CD, there is now almost a song for every occasion, along with a color. So, I’ve decided to start listing songs that can be used to describe break-ups. Be those amicable (sp?), intentional, or otherwise, there is problably a tune out there that can describe it (if not, write one, and then you may be on MTV). I encourge everyone to add to the list, and send this to other people, so that the libary can grow. The rules are simple. Just name the song, the artist, and the album in which it appears. Also, provide a short decription of why this is a good break-up song, or what type of song.

So, here’s the first. The song is “Counting the Days” by Goldfinger, found on their Stomping Ground LP, from 2000. Basically, the song describes how a man/woman has ruined a relationship because a stupid shit, and now thinks of that lost one in everything that there hear/see…longing to tell them what they feel, knowing that there’s no opertunity to do so. Love lost from ill decisions.

The second song is so much the oppisite. “Suffocate” from Cold’s Year of the Spider LP is more the anger that is felt…no, just read the lyrics…this is pure rage. You hate what your ex did, said or was…then this is your tune…

Please, add your own to the list, comment on those on the list, or not…
