Everyone sings in the shower, blasts music and occasionally dances in their underwear even if they don’t want to admit. But when you can hear your neighbor play “Since U Been Gone” over and over one night, you can assume that she’s going through a break up.
When you hear a friend play the Kelly Clarkson breakup anthem then you must know that something is going on. You go and comfort them, giving a shoulder to cry on or at least a few more songs that can move on getting that Mr. Wrong out of her head.
It only goes to prove that women aren’t the only ones who use mushy Mariah Carey songs (my friend Sam’s breakup music of choice) to get over a lost love. Music has a way of soothing and comforting us though a break-up in a way that nothing else can. Here are some of my favorites to help get you through each phase.
