mahoganyMy favorite break up song.
Hmmm... Not sure how to answer this song. My favorite song about the end of a relationship? That would have to be Sinead O'Connor - The Last Day of Our Acquaintance. My favorite about a relationship going sour? Definitely, The Pogues - Fairy Tale of New York. My favorite song to listen to when my relationships ended? That's a more complicated answer.
Likely due in part to some subconscious need for male validation (ick, wince, cringe) and attention, I always ended up clubbing pretty hard after a break up, so my favorite song would have been which ever awesome song was playing in the clubs at the time. I remember one particularly painful breakup the summer of 1993. It was my first breakup. I spent one month in Calgary that summer, and my time there coincided with the Stampede. At the time, there was a street called Electric Avenue that was packed with clubs. It was awesome (well, for an eighteen year old at any rate). The clubs were hopping, and even outside the clubs was hopping. The entire street was a big party. There were also some truly terrific clubs just off the strip. There was this one awesome place that sticks out: the Tasmanian ballroom. Every time I hear Nitzer Ebb's Murderous, I remember that place.
The song that I associate with that summer as a whole, is this one. I am transported back to Calgary every time I hear it. It's a great tune:
Rush - Big Audio Dynamite II
