- and by ‘excellent’, I mean that you hate him/her, feel clean and fresh and free after snapping off the shackles that were him/her’s clutches, and can see the great wide horizon stretching out before you, full of possiblity and hope!

The Excellent Breakup Playlist
1. ‘See You When You’re 40′ by Dido
2. ‘I’m Lonely (And I Love It)’ by The Future Bible Heroes
3. ‘Solsbury Hill’ by Peter Gabriel
4. ‘These Boots Are Made For Walkin” by Nancy Sinatra
5. ‘Walking With a Ghost’ by Tegan and Sara
6. ‘Blue Monday’ by New Order
7. ‘It Ain’t Me Babe’ – ok, I know this is a Bob Dylan tune, but, believe it or not, there’s an incredible version on the “Lady in the Water” soundtrack, performed by Silvertide. Remember that movie?

Anyhow, this version is real jump-around-air-guitarring. It’s a good ‘un.
