Heartbreaker

That's the name of my break-up playlist from when things ended with Marie last year.  I'm about to delete it, since it doesn't really serve a purpose anymore, but figured I may as well post it first as a proper burial.  There's a mix of some songs that I identified with as things got worse, songs that had some sort of specific meaning to the relationship, and some that just felt right at the time.

1. Either Way - Wilco
2.  Hate it Here - Wilco
3.  Ghosts - Dirty Vegas (this was kind of an odd man out)
4.  Moments with You - Gran Torino
5. I Spy - Guster
6.  Show Me a Little Shame - Ben Harper
7.  Without You - RENT Soundtrack
8.  Only a Broken Heart - Tom Petty
9.  I Do - Jude
10.  Time to Move On - Tom Petty

Wilco's Sky Blue Sky album and Tom Petty's Wildflowers album bother are in here twice, I think because both albums tend to be rather mopey in general.  I know Wildflowers was Petty's solo album after his divorce, so it's definitely got a heartbroken tone all the way through.

Adieu, Adieu, Adieu.  I'm in a much better place, and you're not welcome anymore.
