Anybody got any faves? they would like to share?

I love Andy William's 'How Do I Begin' from the Love Story soundtrack (Rick Astley has done a cover for it)

I love that, it's one of my favourite scenes from Friends. I love when him and Pheebs are trying to get the right note at the end of the song, but can't.

Joss Stone - Right To Be Wrong came on my mp3 player yesterday, a good break up song I think. As long as you like Joss!

This is beautiful especially sung by Dusty Springfield - just recently rediscovered it and can't stop playing it


If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night birds song

If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

But if you stay, Ill make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
Well sail on the sun, well ride on the rain
Well talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then if you go, Ill understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand

If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut soublier
Qui senfuit dj?
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur

Ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas

But if you stay, Ill make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
Ill sail on your smile, Ill ride on your touch
Ill talk to your eyes, that I love so much
Then if you go, Ill understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand

If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

If you go away, as I know you must
Therell be nothing left in this world to trust
Just an empty room, full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
Oh, Id have been the shadow of your shadow
If it might have kept me by your side

If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

[spoken] please dont go away!

There are two songs on Will Young's album which are so sad. On "From Now On" the final track is "Fine Line" which is so poignant. And on "Keep On", the final track (again) is "Home" which he wrote at a time when he was particularly down.

However, the saddest song he has sung is a b-side called "Take Control". He wrote it for someone who sent him a letter about being abused by her husband/partner but didn't leave an address. This was his reply to her. I hope she plucked up courage to leave her abuser.

Without You - Nilsson (not the c**p version by Mariah Carey)
All Out of Love - Air Supply

Both very beautiful songs and really good break up songs
