Soundtrack for the brokenhearted, the loveless and to those who are struggling to move on

Okay... This is off topic. Nothing to do with my critical mind nor about social injustices or anything amazing for a cause.


Taking a break from my usual post, am not even brokenhearted, okay?

A guy friend gave me this present last Christmas and he was like expecting so much to receive something from me. I thought of shirts but I don't even know his size. He's a school mate way back in grade school and high school and we never seen each other for like 6 years now. Nothing so special except for that crazy thing I did during an acquaintance party where I offered him a dance just for some bet's sake with my girlfriends.

Back to the present I should give him something. I thought of crazy stuff or something funny but my conscience's bothering me. Because he sent me something with still a tag on it!!! It's $14.++!!!

And so I decided to give him something special. Something with my own creativity on it. However, it's been three weeks now, but I still couldn't complete it! Heck! It's so hard to find the perfect songs!!!

From I heard, this guy friend had just broke up with his girlfriend. And he was damn devastated with the breakup that he keep on changing FB accounts for the nth time now! He loved that girl so much.. And I just feel sorry for him. He's still recovering and I JUST THOUGHT a CD with some brokenhearted and moving on songs in it might help him along his journey...

I'd like to ask your help. It's damn difficult to look for songs on the internet. Some blogs recommend oldy and crappy songs.

Below are my personal picks (not arranged in any particular order):

1. EVIDENCE by Urbandub
2. GONE by N'Sync (not so boybandish, but I personally like this song's beat)
3. CRY ME A RIVER by Justin Timberlake (Just a coincidence, I like this too)
4. OVER YOU by Daughtry
5. IT ENDS TONIGHT by The All American Rejects
6. SOMEDAY by Nina (A tearjerker, probably for girls, but I doubt for guys)
7. MOVING ON by Taio Cruz (Something New on my playlist)
8. FOUR SEASONS OF LONELINESS - Boys II Men
9. HERE WITHOUT YOU - 3 Doors Down
10. HAPPY ENDING - Avril Lavigne

.... and my mind went to a blank...

Opened a browser. Logged to google.com and searched "songs for the brokenhearted"

And found these:

  • TRY SLEEPING WITH A BROKEN HEART - Alicia Keys.
  • ALL OR NOTHING - O-Town.
  • BLEEDING LOVE - Leona Lewis. (I'll probably put a male version)
  • CRAWL - Chris Brown.
  • SAY GOODBYE - Chris Brown.
  • DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING - Alicia Keys.
  • I'M MOVING ON - Rascall Flatts ( Nice country)
  • SET THE FIRE TO THE THIRD BAR- Snow Patrol (From Dear John)
  • WAIT FOR YOU - Elliot Yamin
  • RIGHT HERE - Brandy

    I got a few help from my old CD case, full of burned up songs I used to love through high school until college and was surprise about how many more I compiled:

  • FOUR SEASONS OF LONELINESS - Boyz II Men
  • COULD IT BE ANY HARDER - The Calling
  • DARE YOU TO MOVE - Switchfoot
  • NO ORDINARY LOVE - Urbandub
  • BURN - Usher
  • TORN - Natalie Imbruglia
