Change the locks. Throw his sh@t on the lawn.

I think you need to listen to some country. lol

That would be Carrie Underwood “Before he cheats”

Right now, he's probably slow dancing
With a bleached-blonde tramp
And she's probably getting frisky
Right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink
'Cause she can't shoot a whiskey
Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool-stick
Showing her how to shoot a combo
And he don't know

[Chorus]
I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped up four-wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville Slugger to both headlights
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time, he'll think before he cheats

Verse 2]
Right now, she's probably up singing some
White-trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now, she's probably saying, "I'm drunk"
And he's a thinking that he's gonna get lucky
Right now, he's probably dabbing on
Three dollars worth of that bathroom Polo
Oh, and he don't know

[Chorus]
Oh, that I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped up four-wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville Slugger to both headlights
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time, he'll think before he cheats

[Bridge]
I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl
'Cause the next time that he cheats
Oh, you know it won't be on me
No, not on me

[Chorus]
'Cause I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped up four-wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville Slugger to both headlights
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time, he'll think before he cheats

Very nice, with a special nod to Hard Candy Christmas on your list.
and I can't believe that the Phil Collins songs had not come up yet!

OP here - Against all odds was already on my playlist - felt my original list of artists was overfilling the first post!


This is such a good list!

Sorry, OP. The ultimate an angry Gen X breakup song must be You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette. Indulge in some primal screaming set to music.

I'm a classical music lover myself, and listen to Tchaikovsky and Sibelius violin concertos on repeat, so I can't help you with the 80s music.

I wanted to add that ever since the discovery this summer, I've been binging on K-dramas on Netflix! I am east Asian but not Korean... and I love those silly rom-coms! The best one is wonderfully acted and is called Crash Landing on You. Please watch. I've already watched it twice. The premise of crossing into North Korea and trying to survive without being discovered is fascinating. The two romantic leads fell in love, got married and now have a baby together

Best of luck, OP. We'll get through this somehow.

OP here - Not classical in the real sense, but turned off the lights and bawled my way through several repetitions of Barber’s Adagio for Strings a few days ago. It always shakes me to the core, then makes me feel hopeful when the key changes. Would love any classical suggestions too! I think I’m going to have a few playlists.

I don’t often get the chance to watch TV but will try to carve out some time for yiur suggestion, thank you. I’ve been rewatching Golden Girls when I can’t sleep just to feel a little lighter.

Ralph Vaughan Williams, Mass in G Minor.

Annie Lennox - Why
Sinead O’Connor - Last Day of our Acquaintance
Lucinda Williams - Changed the Locks

Yah. I wasn’t sitting around listening to heartbreak music. I was seeking ways to make the two married hos lives miserable …while researching and documenting and getting attorneys lined up. I was planning the revenge of a lifetime that would leave no trace and not land me in jail.

I’d skip the Foo Fighters—Dave Grohl’s wife is dealing with what you are dealing with right now. Delete all of his music.

Did you find a way to do that?

For a song on that theme, Lyle Lovett, LA County. Quite cathartic.

Because I sucked 30 years ago, I gave this to a guy I broke up with. This was many years ago and I hope I'm a better person.

Also, it's about a guy wishing the best for his ex. I don't think that's OP's energy right now.

The Time for flowers by Emily Scott Robinson makes me sob uncontrollably. Hope it's cathartic for you
