Felix’s Playlist: The Ultimate Compendium of Break-up Songs
June 11th, 2009 |Posted In: Over Blog, Felix's Playlist
Fact: Were it not for music, 23% of all break-ups would end in murder or suicide. (Okay. That’s not a fact at all. But we all know that 72% of all statistics are make-believe, so just go with it.) The point I’m trying to make is that music helps. It must. While falling in love [...]

Today I’m kicking off Felix’s Playlist: The Ultimate Compendium of Break-up Songs, with three selections. Everybody Knows by John Legend Key Lyrics: ‘Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows/ How to make it work, or how to ease the hurt Felix Scale Rating: 56 (Bargaining) Analysis: John Legend is one smooth dude. He knows it [...]
Nothing Better by The Postal Service Key Lyrics: So just say how to make it right/ And I swear I’ll do my best to comply Felix Scale Rating: 5 (Denial) Analysis: This is by far the best example I’ve found of a song that epitomizes the denial phase. In the beginning of the song, Ben [...]
Congratulations by Blue October Key Lyrics: And I can’t change this/ I can never take it back again/ But now I can’t change your mind/ You left me Felix Rating: 87 (Acceptance) Analysis: This song…get the hankies out kids. It’s a tough one. When you listen to some songs after a breakup, they take you [...]
Without You by Hinder Key Lyrics: I didn’t want to believe it then/ But it all worked out in the end/ When I watched you walk away well I never thought I’d say/ I’m fine without you Felix Rating: 97 (Acceptance) Analysis: Hinder is one of those bands that will put out an album that [...]
Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac Key Lyrics: If I could/ Maybe I’d give you my world/ How can I / When you won’t take it from me? Felix Rating: 94 (Acceptance) Analysis: Upbeat break up songs are a lot of fun. And even though unrequited love sucks plain and simple, it’s a part [...]
Gives You Hell by The All-American Rejects Key Lyrics: When you see my face/ Hope it gives you hell/ Hope it gives you hell Felix Rating: 36 (Anger) Analysis: There are a few songs that take this approach. It’s the dream right? You’ve had your heart broken by someone who gave up on the relationship, [...]
Fuck It (I Don’t Want You Back by Eamon Key Lyrics: Now it’s, over, but I do admit I’m sad/ It hurts real bad, I cant sweat that, cuz I loved a ho. Felix Rating: 40 (Anger) Analysis: I remember cracking up when I first heard this song. Something about the smooth melody, the artist’s [...]
“Broken hearts are a fickle thing, and complicated too. I thought I believed in love, but I’ve never seen it through. Oh, I didn’t marry the girl I loved. I saw my world cave in, felt like giving up. But I’ll be laughing. Oh, I’ll be laughing. Oh, I’ll be laughing…again.” – “My Broken Heart” by Noah [...]
Track of the Year: First Days of Spring by Noah and the Whale
November 5th, 2009 |Posted In: Over Blog, Felix's Playlist
