Music Monday: Resigned Breakup Songs

by Scott Lydon


Happy Music Monday! Everybody’s lost someone they didn’t want to let go of. Today’s Music Monday is for them. And for you.

OMD - If You Leave

 

Leaving is like a sticky bandage. You gotta just do it, and not look back. If you linger too long, that goodbye might never happen.

Help us find closure now that the right one’s gone. :( See you after the jump!

The Stylistics - You Are Everything

 

When someone leaves, they’re not gone right away. You still see their face in the faces of strangers. And the next person you meet, God help them, right? They’re gonna be compared to your older love each and every day. And you won’t remember the bad stuff. Nobody ever does.

Jackson 5 - I Want You Back

 

Of course, you want to get a do-over. Of course you do! If you’re lucky enough to try again, maybe you’ll make it work. Or maybe you’ll make the exact same mistakes and it’ll end up the exact same way. Sadly, you don’t know which until it happens.

The Spinners - I’ll Be Around

 

Hey, bargaining is one of the stages of grief for a reason. Even when you accept it’s gonna happen, you still have that little feeling in the back of your mind. Sure, they’ve moved on, and you wish them well, but if they ever wake up and they don’t want that life, maybe they’ll come back. It’s a pipe dream, sure, but… maybe.

The Replacements - Left Of The Dial

 

But whatever happens, you’ll always have those memories like little recordings in your brain. And sometimes the right song at the right time will pull them out again. You might say goodbye. But it’s never farewell.

The Bangles - Eternal Flame

 

Let us just remind you: some images come from the corresponding Wikipedia page and are here under fair use. See you next week, unicorns.
