What are your top five break-up songs?
Submitted by gt.

I'm with Bookmole on this one.  There are so many different kinds of breakups that I'm not sure that 5 songs covers it. And I'm joining this with my lyric of the day, because it seems silly not to.

However, if I need to pick 5, the ones below come to mind.  And I know they're female heavy.  When I think of breakup songs,, I do think of women, mostly because I think they sing about heartbreak better than men.

Sarah McLachlan - Do What You Have To Do (Mirroball Live)

Sarah McLachlan - Full of Grace

These 2 I call the "5/9 loop".  I know I'm in a bad place with someone when I can't listen to any songs other than these 2.  I should have known my marriage was over when Mick and I were both in the "5/9 loop" at the same time.  It actually took me a little over a year from that point to leave him.

Stronger Than Me - Melissa Etheridge

"Well, it's too late then
You could have told me when
Living died;
When passion lied."

Invisible Ink (Inara & Mal - Firefly vid)

"I suppose I should be happy to be misread
Better be that
Than some of the other things I have become.
But nobody wants to hear this tale.
The plot is cliched,
The jokes are stale."

She wants revenge - she loves me, she loves me not

"For all the things I said to her
And all the ways I tried.
And all the things I did for her
Are lost with one goodbye."

Well, they're coming to St. Pete!  I'm so excited!

Open your arms and hold me.
Tell me it'll be alright.
Tell me the thing you've never told a soul
That keeps you up at night.

When could you tell it was over?
When did you turn on me?
I'd cry if I thought it would change your mind;
Cry for the girl I hoped you would be.

I know that you never loved me.
I know that you never cared at all.
Maybe just one more dance
Cuz that's as close as you're getting to a true romance.

I know that you never loved me.
I know that you never cared at all.
No my love we can't be friends.
In fact, I like you much better when you just pretend.
- She Wants Revenge, "True Romance"

Ok, yes, I've started back with some of the artists I've used before.  But there's a reason that I've been in a She Wants mood for the last 4 days.  They're fucking hot.

Cast shadows through the days
And swing the night
And come with me.
There's nothing to believe in here
So just believe in me.
Your sense of apprehension suits you;
You wear your troubles well.

I've nothing left to hide from you,
I've got no god to sell.
Just put your hand in mine,
Then cast your doubts aside.

We can hide away for days,
Pretend the world has ended.
No more drama
No more pain.
Pretend the world has ended.
We can run away tonight,
Pretend the world has ended.
No matter what they say we'll work out fine,
Cuz you and I know this is heaven.
- She Wants Revenge, "Pretend the World Has Ended"

I've been in a She Wants mood for the better part of the day.  I have no idea why.  I have ideas why, but am unwilling to blog about them at the moment.  Kinda like a jinx.  Or something.

In a dark room
With our secrets
Thinking no one sees.
But still they always know.

Whisper to me softy,
I'm yours.
Until we know it's time to leave.
Act as if this is forever;
Assume the roles we could never be.

Cuz all these friends of mine
Who like to think that they've found the one,
But tell me with us it's different;
Tell me that we've just begun.
- She Wants Revenge, "It's Just Begun"

Know it's not Christmas-y, but kind of apropos of the stupid grin on my face (well, not the regrets part)...

You say it's not an problem,
You say it's meant to be.
But love is not an option,
Our love is never free.

And things are not so easy,
So cold and we've been burned,
I know that I'll have regrets,
But that's the price of one more lesson learned.

Right face
Wrong time
She's sweet
But I don't wanna fall in love
Too late,
So deep,
Better run cuz I don't wanna fall in love
Can't sleep
Can't eat
Can't think straight
I don't wanna...

What were your top 10 favorite songs or albums of 2007?

Hmmm...things that I discovered in 2007 that may be older or new music?  And why 10?
The ones that come to mind (in no particular order):

• Ike Reilly Assassination - We Belong to the Staggering Evening
• Kings of Leon - Because of the Times
• Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - BRMC
• The Stooges - The Weirdness (this was a surprise - it's a very good album)
• Tegan and Sara - The Con
• She Wants Revenge - This is Forever (good but not as good as their first)

It's dedication time.  What song are you sending out, and who is it dedicated to?

Well, I've dedicated today's lyric of the day to my friend T (not to be confused with me, t).  But if I have to send out another one, I'd like to send 2 songs out, "Out of Control" by She Wants Revenge and "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel.  They both go out to the same person. 

Sigh.  It's going to be a very long weekend. 

Video: Show us a music video you'd gladly watch over and over again.

Mostly because I'm still in a She Wants mood.  The song & video are better than "Tear You Apart", Shirley Manson notwithstanding.  ;)

She Wants Revenge - This is Forever came out today. And is in my very excited hands at this moment.  Awesome.  I haven't been this excited about an album in a long time.  and yes, this is the 2nd song on the album.  I haven't gotten past song 3 yet.  And the concert is October 30 in Orlando.  I will be there.

Soft wet skin, hairs raised, body tired
And the sheets are across the floor.
You tell me that love don't last
Drawing circles with your fingernails across my back.
As your lips form the words that you won't say
In the distance your favorite song plays.

I turn you over and look in your eyes,
Promise you that this is forever or til one of us dies.
You taste like tear stains and could've beens,
But I love a good trainwreck.
- She Wants Revenge, "Written in Blood"

Hmmm....current favorite?  I don't have one at the moment.  There's what I'm listening to frequently - this is in heavy rotation:
