New fun thing! Each week, let's have people pick out songs that mean a lot to them in terms of their relationships (or lack thereof) and talk about it. I'll start.
This is the way that we love, like it's forever/then live the rest of our life, but not together
I picked Mika's Happy Ending because it's this awesome amalgamation of hopefulness, sheer depression and what sounds like a showstopping Broadway chorus in the background.
This is going to sound more than slightly pathetic, but the week before I came to New York, I remember driving on the freeway, repeating this song, like, ten times in a row and being ready to veer off the road to avoid whatever was coming in the future. I had been with my best friends throughout college and I realized that I only had a few days left with them before everything would change and I'd leave for a different state. And while it was melodramatic at the time, it became truer - I love them both and always will, but a year and a half after moving, I can feel us going our own ways and becoming our own people. Depressing.
And, for the record, my favorite part starts at 2:40 when the "littlebitoflove"s come in.
What's your favorite depressing love song? If you want to pick out a song to share with the rest of the class (ha), submit it to us with a YouTube link and your reason for choosing it.
Hoobastank's The Reason. I would always imagine that my boyfriend would sing this song every time he thought of me
My favorite song doesn't have a YouTube video for it..
JC Chasez- You Ruined Me
three cheers for five years-mayday parade
A Feeling Like That - Gary Allan
Over and Over - Nelly ft. Tim McGraw
The ULTIMATE: "Nobody Knows" by the Tony Rich Project
I loved this song as my favorite (not-so-)depressing love song before I even knew what a broken heart felt like.
Blind by Lifehouse came to mind first.
I loved you more than you will ever know And part of me died when I let you go
Also More Than A Memory by Garth Brooks
When you're talking out loud and nobody's there You look like hell and you just don't care Drinking more than you ever drank Sinking down lower than you ever sank When you find yourself falling down on your knees Praying to God, begging him please That's when she's more than a memory
Stupid - Sarah Mclachlan
Oooo! You reminded me of that song...I forgot about it...love it.
Toya - Moving On
Steely Dan's "Things I Miss The Most." A divorced guy rattles off the loser things he's doing, trying to BS himself into thinking he's okay.
Billy Joel's "And So It Goes".
Slow Dancing In a Burning Room - John Mayer.
It's a pre-breakup song. An amazing one.
ohhh I love that Mika song. Â I've definitely had some phases of listening to it on repeat, as well.
I'd have to say my favorite depressing love song(s) would be...
the scientist by coldplay or 9 crimes by damien rice
I also love yesterday by the beatles.
Papa Roach - Forever
"Because days come and go but my feelings for you are forever. One last kiss before I go. It is time to let you go..."
Pretty self explanatory.
i'm going through a similar situation right now. so thank you reminding me of this song!

I just want another chance to live"
