Why is it that nearly all songs in the genre of "break-up music" include some sort of terrible circumstances? "Don't make me think about her smile or having my first child" or "he cheated on me" or "you lied" etc.
Why all the extra drama? Where are the songs about relationships ending in the dull "it just didn't work and now we really hurt"? Isn't the pain of a simple break-up enough? Perhaps my exposure to the genre is limited and needs expanding. However, what I've found thus far has left me unimpressed and thus wanting to create something in the void. I don't see that happening anytime soon, though. So, in the meantime, I will explore the music of Patsy Cline and content myself with songs like these:
(Below) Same song, different variation. I actually didn't understand the craze about Ani until I saw her play this song live. (Actually, this is the performance I saw her give). Something about the way that she struck the strings held me mesmerized.
For those who deal with emotionally bleeding hearts, perhaps this comes the closest for providing catharsis after a "dull" break-up.

dull pain isn't as interesting, unless you're Dallas Green.
