Ultimate Break Up Song?

[kevmac]

What's your "Ultimate Break Up Song"?

Though it gets a bit of the "Emerson"treatment at the end,I've always found Trilogy by ELP beautifully melancholy. But Elton John and Bernie Taupins' "Goodbye" could bring a tear to the eye of the most hardened.

A more hard boiled breakup song:



And a crying my tears out breakup song:

 

[Fstnblbs]

“Company” by Rickie Lee Jones.. I defy anyone to not be profoundly saddened by this song.. Seriously..

 

[Isaac_James]

Depends on your outlook on things, really. Some don't see endings, they see new beginnings, and a chance to have fun. And to look deep into philosophical pondering- like- where did the cheese go?

I don't know!

 

[Boundary Effect]

I'll add another with Joe Puerta doing that bass work:

“Company” by Rickie Lee Jones.. I defy anyone to not be profoundly saddened by this song.. Seriously..

Also one of the best breakup metaphor songs, Last Chance Texaco. Those Rickie Lee albums are great.

Sinead O'Connor - Last Day of Our Acquaintance


Bob Dylan - If You See Her, Say Hello

Jerry…thanx for gettin’ it! So many genres and fabulous music by so many almost ethereal musicians..Rickie truly belongs in the pantheon of the greats..Some pretty darn passable bass playing on those records as well…

Everything about those albums stands out to me, the players/playing, songwriting and the mixes were great, those albums still sound great!
The stuff Ricky Lee did with Walter Becker also still hold up too.

Sinead O'Connor - Last Day of Our Acquaintance

That's pretty good, I understand her better in 1995
