The 10 Best Break Up Songs
There are a lot of songs about breaking up. But, most of them are awful. What are the very best break up songs? After all, not all sad love songs are created equal. I'm looking at you Backstreet Boys!
Don't fear. I've combed through all the tears and broken hearts, and found the 10 best break up songs ever written. You're welcome. And, I'm sorry for your loss. The songs are listed below, but you can listen to them here: 
Without You - NilssonThis is the penultimate break up song. The way Nilsson whales the chorus in this song, is probably exactly how your heart feels right now.
Love Hurts - Everly Brothers Love Hurts. You're probably already aware of this fact. But, this song will at least remind you that you're not the only one who has experienced the dark side.
How Can You Mend A Broken Heart - Bee Gees Some people don't realize that the Bee Gees had a prolific career before they ever started shining there disco shoes. But, they did, and they were great. Listen to this song right now. You'll feel better.
Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right – Bob Dylan This is a subtle and sad break up song: "I ain't saying you treated me unkind / You could have done better but I don't mind / You just kinda wasted my precious time / But don't think twice, it's all right.
Pale Blue Eyes – The Velvet Underground Though not explicitly about breaking up, this song definitely tells the story of a couple that just cannot be together. Also, it's beautiful.
Heartbreak Hotel - Elvis Presley Elvis Presley probably never had to deal with being dumped. But, whoever wrote this song knew a thing about heartbreak. .
Crying - Roy Orbison This song is what emo music would have sounded like in the 1950s, if emo was bad ass and awesome. Crrrrrrryyyyyyyyiiiinnngg...
Hello Darlin' - Conway Twitty I had to include at least one pure country song. I mean, this list is about getting over a break up, and country songs are all about getting your heart broken.
I Will Survive – Gloria GaynorYes, you will survive. This song makes being dumped almost seem like a good thing.
In My Life - The Beatles I wanted to round out the list with this song because I feel like The Beatles really put things into perspective here. Life is long and full of change. You must embrace this!
Now, enough being all broken up, get out there and find somebody to love.
