Ultimate Heartbreak/Break up song
Just wondering what you think the most moving heartbreak song is about losing someone you love/breaking up.
Obviously not like 'We Are Never Getting Back Together' For me it has to be No Doubt - Don't Speak. It gets me everytime. Are there any more left of field examples? That aren't perhaps as famous/popular? |

For me it's any of a number by Mariah. Between My All and We Belong Together. As for not that famous/popular I think Justin Timberlake's Another Song (All Over Again) is a gorgeous track from his second album.

'No Regrets' by The Walker Bros (1975) written by Tom Rush and part of an entire album about a relationship breakdown ('The Circle Game' (1968)).

For me its my most favorite song from my most favorite singer James Otto named "Dam* Right".
![]() God bless you and him always!!! ![]() Holly P.S. The way that the song is done to me is what makes it as good as it is. His heart and nothing else is what James sings the song with and I want to put my arms around him every time that I hear it come out his mouth!!!

I think Someone Like You by Adele is pretty moving, especially when she sang it live at the BRITs. Lyrics are painfully honest and raw.
My personal all-time favourite though is Last Kiss by Taylor Swift. So simple and beautiful, everything from the lyrics to the way she's singing to the production to me just totally "feels" like a devastating break-up. |

Please Don't Go - K.C. and the Sunshine Band
It's against the grain for their usual output, and nowhere nears as epic as No Regrets, but still fantastic. |

It depends on your situation I suppose. "Real" by Years & Years always gets me, as it came about at a time where that song was scarily applicable to my personal circumstances at the time and it always takes me back to that. "Wasting My Young Years" by London Grammar is an utterly heartbreaking song, too.
I think "Say You Love Me" by Jessie Ware and "Angels" by The XX would be my choices though. Always get me, those two! |

a couple from the 60's, emotional but with dignity
Gene Pitney - im gonna be strong .... if youre ever hurt, thisll get you, fantastic lyrics that builds to the inevtiable breakdown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldcZkWLOTCI the Walker Brothers - make it easy on yourself - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZTS9H-l5qQ scotts wonderful voice, not as emotional as the last track... but.... class. Dusty wasnt afraid of emotion either - i just dont know what to do with myself - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuPOwe-2EYA as for the recently departed 60's icon Cilla Black, heres a little known track, a minor hit but imho one of her best - ive been wrong before - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT_MjGWenQg and to finish with a belter, with wonderfull ott production, Lorraine Ellison - stay with me baby - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pDBuPK0_DU hope some of these tracks are new to some of you...

Mariah Carey - We Belong Together.
Look past the voice and the diva-image and she's pretty much the Queen of heartbreak songwriting. |
