pinkstones Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Hey, when is before 1990 considered old? Granted I was 8 in 1990, but still. Would 1989 be too old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAngel Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 "Nothing Compare 2 U" - Sinead O'Connor (1990) Excellent cover (of an older song admittedly) and a very sad plea for someone to return and to keep a relationship together. Beck's entire Sea Change (2002) album is full of lovely pensive breakup songs some highlights include: "End of the Day" I've seen the end of the day come too late I've seen the love you had turning into hate I had to act like I didnt even care but I did so I got stranded standing there standing there "Guess I'm Doing Fine" There’s a blue bird at my window I can’t hear the songs he sings All the jewels in heaven They don’t look the same to me I just wade the tides that turned Till I learn to leave the past behind It’s only lies that I’m living It’s only tears that I’m crying It’s only you that I’m losing Guess I’m doing fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Good call on Nothing Compares 2 U. Coldplay's got quite a few songs along those lines, if that's what you're after... e.g. The Scientist, Warning Sign and Trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) Nothing Compares 2 U...is a good call... How about... Don't Speak ~ No Doubt Edited May 30, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Too bad you don´t want the sixties... You have some gems like "Breaking up is hard to do", "The end of the world" or "Goodbye Cruel World"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAngel Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 "On Your Own" - The Verve Tell me what you seen Was it a dream? Was I in it? Life seems so obscene Until it's over Who knows? All I want is someone who can fill the hole In the life I know In between life and death When there's nothing left Do you wanna know? Keane has a few: "She Has No Time" Well think about the lonely people And think about the day she found you Or lie to yourself And see it all dissolve around you She says she has no time for you now "We Might As Well Be Strangers" I don't know your thoughts these days We're strangers in an empty space I don't understand your heart It's easier to be apart We might as well be strangers in another town We might as well be living in another time Also, one of my favourite songs from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Maps" Wait, they don't love you like I love you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanJ Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 "Calling and Not Calling My Ex" by Okkervil River is kind of along the lines of moving away "Backwards Walk" by Frightened Rabbit If you like folky stuff, Bon Iver! +1 for Beck's Sea Change album as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I've always found Eels' "Jeannie's Diary" to be quite poignant. "Jeannie's Diary" - Eels How does her world spin Without me in her nest? Could there really be such happiness? Oh, she's got a dark side too Even murderous But i love that Just like her I don't have a chance at writing the book I just wanna be a page In jeannie's diary One single page In jeannie's diary Yes i am intense Maybe quite obsessed Everything she does is curious Oh, she's going to let me in I just know it's so Then again, who do i kid? I don't have a chance at writing the book I just wanna be a page In jeannie's diary One single page In jeannie's diary She could have anything she wants So why not me? She could have anything she dreams Oh, to be one single page One single page In jeannie's diary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Heart Of The Matter ~ Don Henley Very sad song, but I do love the lyrics to this one... The Heart Of The Matter Don Henley I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear But I knew that it would come An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone She said you found someone And I thought of all the bad luck, And the struggles we went through And how I lost me and you lost you What are these voices outside love's open door Make us throw off our contentment And beg for something more? I'm learning to live without you now But I miss you sometimes The more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter But my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore These times are so uncertain There's a yearning undefined ...People filled with rage We all need a little tenderness How can love survive in such a graceless age The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness They're the very things we kill, I guess Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms And the work I put between us, Doesn't keep me warm I'm learning to live without you now But I miss you, Baby The more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter But everything changes And my friends seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore There are people in your life who've come and gone They let you down and hurt your pride Better put it all behind you; life goes on You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you inside I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter But my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter Because the flesh will get weak And the ashes will scatter So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
