Break-up Songs

Ever had one of those sorryful moments in your life when the radio and your own self absorbed mind found solice in a particular tune?
Perhaps Kelly Clarkson and Since U Been Gone struck a chord or Gloria Gaynor’s – I Will Survive – maybe even The Eagles – Heartache Tonight is a contender for pulling on the bleeding strings of your soul
The concept itself of listening to woe is me songs after a breakup doesn’t make a whole lot of sense when in essence we should be trying to cheer ourselves up yet, there’s little doubt that most people tend to spend days, weeks (even longer) after a breakup indulging their misery.
You do reach a point though and whether its Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus or Always On My Mind by Elvis – we’ve probably all been there done that!
While I’m on the point – it would be interesting to know if these songs vary depending on whether your a fella or a girl.
Does “Hurt” by the Nine Inch Nails mean the same as say Irreplaceable by Beyonce?
Would love to hear your tale of woe.
