Okay, let's not lie: we all love a good break up song after gettting our heart broken. While I'm not usually one for whiny songs, some songs hit the note, and the spot, when recovering from a good ol' dumping. While I'm not the girl to run to a Taylor Swift record, these songs always helped me along:
1. "Smile" by Lily Allen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WxDrVUrSvI&ob=av2e. Her voice sounds so sweet, but she gets vengeful. Her anger is so relatable.
2. "Someone Like You" by Adele. This is a good one for when you're still in love with your ex. She keeps her dignity, and hits the high notes.
3. "Erase Me" by Kid Cudi. He sings about how the girl wants him back, so I like this if I'm feeling confident.
4. "3685" by The Spill Canvas. It's about looking back on an old relationship and realizing you did wrong, but appreciating your new relationship because it's so much better. What could be more comforting than the lyrics "The truth is I found something new, and she easily towers over you."
To that list, I'd add Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" and Sara Bareilles' "King of Anything." Plus a couple of oldies, Tom Rush's "No Regrets" and Carole King's "It's Too Late."
