Hi folks. Searched and didn't find a topic on this, so starting one. Boyfriend of two years broke up with me just shy of three weeks ago and I've moved out and into my own place to start over. I want to avoid the lovey-dovey broadway stuff on my ipod at the moment, so any recommendations of good break-up or moving on cause he was jerk, etc., showtunes I can add to my playlist to get through it?
Wasn't sure whether to post this here or the OT board, so apologies if it should be there. Updated On: 10/24/08 at 02:29 PM
We Do Not Belong Together, from Sunday in the Park With George, which is heart.breaking.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

You know, that little song called "Move On," though it is not about romance, certainly can apply here.
Other songs which may not be right on the money but could help, depending on your mood:
"This Nearly Was Mine" "Fine, Fine Line" "Time Heals Everything" "Adelaide's Lament" "Hopelessly Devoted to You" "Down in the Depths on the 90th Floor" and of course "Starting Here, Starting Now"
we do not belong together, sitpwg move on, sitpwg i don't remember christmas, starting here starting now evermore without you, woman in white still hurting, last 5 years who will love me as i am, side show
that's a start....
...everyone was doing the mambo and drinking golden cadillacs...
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
"The Honeymoon is Over" - I DO, I DO "I'm Glad to See You Got What You Want" - CELEBRATION "Nice Knowing You" - LUCKY STIFF "Goodbye, Emile" - ROMANCE/ROMANCE "It's Been Grand Knowing You" - SHE LOVES ME
Yes, listen to "Forget About The Boy" and turn off the iPod just before the "Jimmy, oh Jimmy" portion starts up!
"A Change In Me" from Beauty and the Beast is great, too, but you'll have to download it off of Susan Egan's album "So Far" (that is, if you want it legally). This is one of the more positive 'move on' songs.
"Another Suitcase, Another Hall" from Evita. This is more of a negative song.
"Farewell, Good Angel" from Jane Eyre. (Negative.)
Oh... and of course the angry reprise of "Where's the Girl" from Scarlet Pimpernel-- "Let her go! Let her live, let her die on her own! We are all of us bruised and alone, now we both will have nothing to hold!"
In my pants, she has burst like the music of angels, the light of the sun! --Marius Pantsmercy
Uh... 'Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair', anyone? Sends a great message of "balls to that man! Who needs him anyway?". In fact, Rodgers & Hammerstein are pretty good at these; try 'Many A New Day' as well. :)
After all, why *should* a woman who is healthy and strong blubber like a baby when her man goes away?
"There's a Fine Fine Line" - Avenue Q "Bride's Lament" - The Drowsy Chaperone (if not only for the laughs) "Still Hurting" - The Last 5 Years "Mr. Hopalong Heartbreak" - Urban Cowboy (i know it sounds dumb, but the lyrics are great. promise.)
Also, two songs that get me through rough times are:
"If I Own Today" - Scott Alan "Hear My Song" - Songs for a New World
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.
