Songs for heart-break
Oh it's that time again, when love bites and your summer fling is all over, leaving you with a bunch of unrequited emotions. Well maybe that's just me...but still, today for this post we are going to explore some little ditties to relax ya when the times could be better.



Ida - Back Burner
This is a favorite of mine for when the times lack their luster and the flowers seem to droop. This song is sad enough to make a random passersby on the street break out into tears are the mere sense of the vibrations from your headphones. But don't let it get you down, for the pretty little finish with the soaring vocals is uplifting enough (despite the cold as ice lyrics.)


Codeine - New Year's
Clever imagery, eh? What can I say, I'm a biology major. But let's stay on task. Codeine has this almost supernatural way of capturing dreariness...I don't know how they do it, but this plodding tune is sure to bend some hearts back into position with it's restless, down-cast demeanor.



Gregor Samsa - These Points Balance
This soothing ode is a guaranteed winner if your hopes are sagging a bit. Just get yourself lost in the tranquil melody of one of those ever-lovely co-ed vocal duos backed by the blissful hum of a restrained, yet dreamy collage of instrumentation. Nothing takes you off guard, no big climax to unsettle your nap. Just serene from start to finish.
