Minor Chords

I often wonder why I love sad songs so much, especially those that deal with heartache. It’s hard to explain because I consider myself to be a generally happy person who’s never even experienced a breakup before! Still, even if I can’t relate to the lyrics I can’t help but be drawn to the pain and sadness of lost love. Here are my top 5 breakup songs of all time:

1. No Distance Left to Run- Blur (Damon Albarn wrote this song after Justin Frischmann, lead singer of Elastica, broke up with him)

2. Broken Heart- Spiritualized

3. Too True- Ken Stringfellow

4. Far From Me- Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5. Who’s Gonna Save My Soul- Gnarles Barkley

A high-top sneaker wearing heart singing into a broccoli... Quite possibly the best music video ever made!
