Nominate a Song

First, I should say that I voted now. And my electronic machine recorded my vote correctly. And yes, I obviously voted a straight D ticket. Thankfully, some guys standing at my polling station had t-shirts saying they had Democratic Sample Ballots, which I needed for some of the minor candidates. I didn't vote on Issue 1 because I didn't know about it and because I was under the impression that it wasn't going to be on the ballot afterall - that there had been an injunction against it or something. I voted yes on 2, no on 3 (in deference to those around me who felt really passionate about the flaws in this program, not out of an actual disagreement with gambling), no on 4, and yes on 5.

On a separate note, I need some more songs for my ipod. Okay, so I have hundreds of songs for my ipod, but I'm looking for specific songs. Good heartbreak, heart hurt, break up songs. Unfortunately, most songs deal with love in all its good stuff, or with cheaters (which doesn't really apply here) or with the sadness of breaking up. I don't want the sadness part. I want the You're an Idiot and I'm Better Off Without You break up songs.

So, I have sixteen right now:

1. I hate myself for loving you by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

2. Leave the Pieces by The Wreckers

3. I Can't Get No Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones

4. I Don't Wanna Talk About It by the Indigo Girls

5. Dirty Little Secret by the All-American Rejects

6. Piece of My Heart by Janis Joplin

7. Trying to Find Atlantis by Jamie O'Neal

8. Insensitive by Jann Arden

9. Bitch by Meredith Brooks (which I think I'm going to remove because it's not as good of a heart break moving on song as I had hoped)

10. Don't Think Twice, it's Alright by Johnny Cash

11. How Do You Like Me Now by Toby Keith

12. You'll Think of Me by Keith Urban

13. Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt

14. If You're Gone by Matchbox 20

15. One by U2

and my personal anthem because I was told I'm too unpredictable and too hard to handle:

16. Wild One by Faith Hill

And while I'm generally pleased with this list, I feel like there have to be more good heart hurt songs out there. So, I'm asking you, my loving readers, to nominate some songs for my ipod. There are a few rules:

1. No Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson. They're just a little too blonde and a little too . . . perky for heartbreak.

2. Nothing about cheaters. I save those for when I've actually been cheated on. NCG didn't cheat on me, so he doesn't deserve the

3. I don't do really hard metal or really hard rap. Other than that, I have some pretty eclectic taste, as evidenced from the inclusion of Joan Jett and Toby Keith together. Yeah, I know.

4. Nothing about how you can't move on or your life is meaningless without this person, blah, blah, blah.

Update: So, I violated my own rules and added Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood. I also added Tainted Love by Soft Cell.

Comments:
Whipping Post - Allman Brothers Band (THE BEST HURT HEART SONG EVER)

The Thrill is Gone - B.B. King

Border Song - Elton John (I know this is about a woman, but I'm sure Elton was thinking about a dude when he wrote it)
 
I Don't Want You On My Mind--Bill Withers
 
These were on my first break-up playslist:


Aerosmith- Janie's Got A Gun
Alanis Morisette- All I Really Want
Dandy Warhols- We Used to be Friends
Fleetwood Mac- Go Your Own Way
Phil Collins- I Don't Care Anymore
Poe- Angry Johnny
Queen- Another One Bites the Dust
 
Aaron Tippin Kiss This for the moments when you want to imagine him begging you for another chance just so you can throw it in his face. (so, i'm a bit vindictive with the breakups, may not be for everyone)
 
OLS, I nominate the following

(1) Who is going to drive you home - by the Cars (awesome song);

(2) Waiting is the hardest part - by Tom Petty

(3) With or Without You - by U2

(4) My give a damn's busted - by some country chick: Note I don't like this one but I am sure you would

(5) Hallelujah chorus you know the song that is on Shreq.

(6) The riddle - five for fighting

I hope you are having a good day
 
Wow, you missed one of the best- Gone by Montgomery Gentry. Keith Urban's "You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone" is another top notcher. There is an awesome one that about "Stay, baby just stay, right where you are, I like it this way, it's good for my heart..." and it's about staying gone. I will have to find the actual singer and song title. I have a couple more I will add later. Sorry I missed this string when it was started. If you make this CD, do me a favor and mail me a copy.
