Nothing is worse than a break up, and nothing heals better than music; so here it is: 20 Top Break Up Songs to help you get over that loser. No matter if you are sad or angry. Enjoy.
Bob Dylan – If You See Her, Say Hello
Pretty much THE break up song. The lyrics below are highlights but the entire song is a highlight. Don’t be embarrassed to listen to the song on repeat for, oh, a entire day.
“She may think I have forgotten her, don’t tell her it isn’t so.”
“Although our separation pierces to the heart, she still lives inside of me we have never be apart.”
There is also an alternative version with the lyrcis: “Although the separation pierces to the bone, you are better off with someone else, and I am better off alone.”
Alanis Morissette- You Oughta Know
“You told me you would hold me until you die, until you die, but you’re still alive”
Cee Lo Green – Forget You
“I guess the change in my pocket just wasn’t enough, I’m like, forget you and forget her too.” Also has the more risque, and satisfying F**k you version for when you are REALLY upset.
Adele – Someone Like You
“I heard that you settled down, that you found a girl and you’re married now. I heard that all your dreams came true. I guess she gave you things I didn’t give to you.”
“Never mind I will find someone like you, I wish nothing but the best for you two, don’t forget me I beg, I will remember you said; sometime it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead.”
“Yesterday was the time of our lives.”
Gloria Gaynor – I Will Survive
“Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye? Did you think I’d crumble, did you think I would lie down and die? Oh no, not I, I will survive.”
“And now you see me, someone new, I’m not that chained up little person who is still in love with you.”
Bruno Mars – When I Was Your Man
“Too young, too dumb to realise that I should have bought you flowers and held your hand, Should have gave you all my hours when I had the chance, taken you to every party because all you wanted to do was dance, now my baby is dancing but she’s dancing with another man.”
Bill Withers – Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone
“Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone, it’s not warm when she’s away…only darkness everyday.”
Bon Iver – Skinny Love
“Come on skinny love just last the year, pour a little salt, we were never here. My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer.”
“Told you to be patient, I told you to be fine, I told you to be balanced, I told you to be kind, In the morning I’ll be with you, But it will be a different “kind”, I’ll be holding all the tickets, And you’ll be owning all the fines
GOTYE (feat. Kimbra) – Someone That I Used To Know
“Told myself you were right for me, but felt so lonely in your company.”
“But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know”
Green Day – Whatshername.
“Seems that she disappeared without a trace, did she ever marry ol’ whatshisface?, I made a point to burn all of the photographs, she went away and then I took a different path, I remember the face but I can’t recall the name, and now I wonder how whatsherface has been.”
“It feels like forever ago.’
Poison – Every Rose Has Its Thorn
This songs starts off with a broken-hearted sigh. So perfectly done.
“And now I hear you found somebody new and that I never meant that much to you. To hear that tears me up inside and to see you cuts me like a knife.”
Amy Winehouse – Love is a Losing Game.
“Love is a losing game, Why do I wish I never played, Oh what a mess we made, And now the final frame, Love is a losing game.”
“Though I’m rather blind, Love is a fate resigned, Memories mar my mind”
The Wreckers – Leave the Pieces. A favourite of Nashville actress Hayden Panettiere
“It’s alright, I’ll be fine, Don’t worry about this heart of mine, Just take your love and hit the road, there is nothing you can do or say, you’re going to break my heart anyway, so just leave the pieces when you go”
“Don’t concern yourself with this mess you left for me, I can clean it up you see, just as long as you’re gone.”
The Script – Break Even
“I”m still alive but I”m barely breathing. Just prayin’ to a god that I don’t believe in. Cause I got time while she got freedom. Cos when a heart breaks no it don’t break even.”
“Her best days will be some of my worst. She finally met a man that’s gonna put her first.”
“What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you, And what am I supposed to say when I’m chocked up that you’re okay. I”m falling to pieces.”

Well I finally did it. I managed to find someone who will put up with me for the rest of my life. Most little girls dream came true when my boyfriend of three years whisked my off to Paris on the Eurostar for our anniversary and proposed. I ecstatically said yes and upon our return bought far too many wedding magazines, and realised just how hard planning a wedding was going to be. Don’t get me wrong. I am not exactly fazed by planning big things. I planned the launch party for Frost Magazine and had over 300 guests. It went off without a hitch even though the venue canceled on us a few days before. I have also made a full length feature film. I have the skills and the staying power but what I don’t have is £21,000 to spend on a party. Only one person has mentioned the outdated thing of the women’s parents paying, all of my friends paid for their own wedding and I am not asking my parents for money. I am the editor of this magazine, a freelance writer and actor.
Somehow this is not even the issue. Neither my fiancee or I think it is reasonable to spend that amount of money on one day of your life. Other difficulties are that my family live in Scotland and my fiance’s family live in England. Getting all of these people together in a convenient, reasonably priced venue doesn’t feel like the easiest thing.
Also as a half catholic, half protestant agnostic I have found out that I cannot even get married in a church because I was not christened as my parents, quite rightly, wanted me to choose my own religion. If I want to get married I will have to attend church or do a course. Neither of these seem appealing and I don’t have a lot of free time.
So join my on my journey from engaged woman to bride. I will be writing lots of wedding articles and advice to go along with my personal experience. Please comment and tell me your thoughts and give any advice. We are planning to get married in June of next year so we don’t actually have much time to get everything done. It is all quite exciting and scary.
We have a brillaint article on buying the perfect engagement ring if you want to send it to your boyfriend to drop some hints.
Until next time, enjoy the sun.
Top of The Lake may be a television show but the talent behind it packs a cinematic punch. This cinematic punch shows in the quality of the show. Oscar winning writer/director Jane Campion and Garth Davis have teamed up with the Oscar winning producers of The King’s Speech, Top of The Lake looks beautiful, set in New Zealand the scenery is just stunning. Add in the beautiful cinematography and you have a show that is already worth watching.
The story however, is somewhat less beautiful, this is not a criticism, it is just hard hitting. Top of the Lake begins with a mystery – Tui, a 12 year old girl, walks chest deep into the freezing waters of an alpine lake in New Zealand. She is five months pregnant and won’t say who the father is. Then she disappears.
Robin Griffin is a gutsy but inexperienced detective called in to investigate. But as Robin becomes more and more obsessed with the search for Tui, she slowly begins to realise that finding Tui is tantamount to finding herself – a self she has kept well hidden.
Top of The Lake has a brilliant cast. It stars Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men), David Wenham (Lord of the Rings), Peter Mullan (War Horse) and Holly Hunter (The Piano). All of the cast is amazing. Elizabeth Moss takes the lead and as the detective on the story sees parallels of her own life with the missing Tui. She unravels as the search continues but will she find herself in the end? Top of The Lake has a lot of twists and turns and keeps you on the edge of your seat. It is an excellent, must watch drama. Don’t miss it.
The Top Of The Lake BBC DVD is available here or on Amazon or iTunes UK
RRP: £20.42 / £25.52

Katy Perry shared the first look of her new fragrance campaign on Twitter. The new fragrance is called Killer Queen and Kate looks pretty killer in the ad.
Katy tweeted: “I’m thrilled to reveal #killerqueen Own The Throne”. This will be Kate’s third fragrance. She told Women’s Wear Daily, “It took us something like 30 or 35 tries to get it right. I wanted floral [notes] like Jasmine, but I also wanted red velvet flower, which is incredible-it gives it the edge that makes it Killer Queen.”
We think Kate looks great. What do you think?
SBC Leg Soothing Gel is a refreshing water-based gel which is great for tired and over-worked legs. I had never heard of SBC before but I loved the packaging which was simple but effective. It has arnica in it which speed up healing and is good for getting rid of bruises a bit quicker. It has a lovely smell and a little of the product goes a long way so it lasts a long time.
The ingredients are all natural, it has menthol, camphor, witch hazel and arnica. It gives an instant refreshing feeling when I put it on and in the long term made my overworked legs feel better. I injured my back at the beginning of the year so have been mostly exercising my lower body, this gel takes the strain of my poor legs.
The gel absorbs quickly and leaves legs cool and soothed. It is not sticky after application and the directions even say you can put it on over tights or stockings. It comes in an easy dispensable bottle and is a lovely blue-green colour.
Would I buy it? Yes. Good stuff.
