Ah, Misery.

One of the most cliche things a person goes through is a break-up. Let's face it, unless you have never dated or have only been with one person in which you are successfully clinging tightly to this day (jerk), everyone has been through it. Despite this commonality, it is always so specific to you.

We do crazy things for love, and go even crazier when it is taken away. Maybe the misery lies within the want to keep those strong feelings once shared alive. If we can feel strong emotions in either direction it has to be real, right?

And so, with this in mind, it is no wonder that a billion songs are written about heartbreak. Thus, carrying out the task of creating a mix of break-up songs was a cinch to say the least. And no worries, these could possibly be the happiest sounding songs on the topic.
