Thread Name: Songs about breakups, breaking up
Subject: RE: What do you say/play when it's over?
joni mitchell... "she's so busy being free" christine lavin... "if you want space, go to utah" and for some reason i really like to hear tom ball and kenny sultan doing "how can i miss you when you won't go away"...

... i guess i need humour in those moments...

you can play the music that was special to you both and cry your eyes out. or just keep making yourself listen to it until you stop crying.

the last breakup i had was just like a movie (scene at airport etc.) ... a friend brought me the song "time for me to fly" from reo speedwagon. it was exactly the scenario.

i suggest you write some songs and try to process it that way. could be interesting, huh?
