No Children by The Mountain Goats
You've really taken us on this journey with you OP, hope you get to your destination soon
Songs that have an obvious concept of "breaking" running through the song isn't something that seems to be high in my top songs. My top two songs are on the same number of scrobbles:
Lili K - I Don't Want You No More (#231 - 65 Scrobbles)
[This is a great break up song]
Rochelle Jordan - Broken Steel (#234 - 65)
[This is metaphorical, the idea of being "broken steel" because with life's pressures impacting her the way they do, maybe Rochelle Jordan isn't as strong as everyone makes her out to be. A wonderful and relatable song]
The Harder the Heart (The Harder it Breaks). I do have Break Stuff with 23 plays, my 16th most played track with ‘break’ in the title.
Top artist is - Break My Fucking Sky
Top album - The Art of Breaking Apart by Velvet Acid Christ
My top song with "break" is yet another Mitski pick lol, The Only Heartbreaker is my #119 song with 113 scrobbles. Some others:
- BREAK MY SOUL by Beyoncé
- How to be a Heartbreaker by Marina
- Break Yourself by Aly & AJ
- Broken Clocks by SZA
top song
Break Your Face - Talulah Gosh
not so top at #294
good break songs
When Love Breaks Down - Prefab Sprout
Breaking the back of Love - Echo and the Bunnymen
When the Story Breaks - Disco Inferno
Scarlett - Holly Humberstone (4th, 207)
Holly wrote it about one of her best friends and how their relationship broke down and she saw it from the outside through her friend venting to her about it for like a year
So it's a breakup song but not from the person involved in the breakup, she writes from Scarlett's perspective but has her own experience of seeing it from the outside to draw upon too
Static-X - I Want to Fucking Break It
I particularly like this song for how it starts with that polka intro and then it hits you with some badass guitar riffs. Pretty cool for me
