"Burning clues into this heart of mine"

I have been inspired by other blogging comrades, and I decided to create my own "break-up" song list, though I am not a member of any Mix Tape Club. (There is no bitterness or hidden motive in that statement. Do not invite me.)

Some people have gone the angry route, but I am more apt to go the heartbroken route.

• "The Last Goodbye" - Jeff Buckley
• "I've Got Dreams" - Otis Redding
• "The Last Day of Our Acquaintance" - Sinead O'Connor
• "It's a Motherfucker" - Eels
• "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" - David Gray
• "Love Will Tear Us Apart" - Joy Division
  
• "The End" - The Beatles
• "Pictures of You" - The Cure
• "Half a World Away" - R.E.M.
• "I Know It's Over" - The Smiths
• "Weight of My Words" - Kings of Convenience
• "Somebody" - Depeche Mode
• "Every Little Counts" - New Order
• "Laid" - James
• "Come Talk to Me" - Peter Gabriel
• "I Don't Mind if You Forget Me" - Morrissey
  
• "Burning Photographs" - Ryan Adams
• "Wilder" - The Boo Radleys
• "A Lover Sings" - Billy Bragg
• "Cello Song" - Nick Drake
• "Lover's Spit" - Broken Social Scene
• "Selective Memory" - Eels
• "The First Five Times" - Stars
• "Lost Cause" - Beck
• "The Spiderbite Song" - Flaming Lips
  
• "Divorce Song" - Liz Phair
• "You Cause as Much Sorrow" - Sinead O'Connor
• "Face Up" - New Order

• "The Drugs Don't Work" - The Verve
• "The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get" - Morrissey

• "Where Do I Start, Where Do I Begin?" - The Chemical Brothers

A rather convoluted list, I'll admit. The first four songs on my list are truly heartbreaking. Truly.
