With Valentine’s Day coming, love is in the air. while walking on campus, many of us are swarmed with floating hearts and V-Day reservation phone calls; it could make a single person or a V-Day hater toss his or her cookies.
Valentine’s Day. YUCK.
Music on the radio is also all lovey-dovey; every channel you turn to, Celine Dion or Barry White fill our heads. so, why not hop onto a computer, download some anti-love songs, and have yourself an anti-Valentine’s Day listening party? here is a list to get you started.
• Lucie Silvas “What You’re Made of” Breakup anthem about a one-sided relationship and telling the person to buzz-off. Send this song to the person who does not love you back.
• Zee Avi “I Am Me once More” Jazzy tune by an up-and-coming artist, Avi proudly sings about a relationship that changed her for the worse, but since the breakup, she is finally able to be herself again.
• Maria Mena “Just Hold Me” A relationship on the rocks is the main theme of Mena’s heart wrenching tune. As Mena sings, “Do you like to see me broken? why do I still care,” many of us can relate to the lyrics about still yearning for those jerks who broke our hearts.
• Apocalyptica featuring Adam Gontier “I Don’t Care” The words, “If you’re dead or still alive, I don’t care” speak volumes while listening to this song. can you say, “Bitter breakup?”
• Linkin Park “P5hng me A_wy” this song-featured on LP’s “Reanimation” album-has overtones of falseness in a relationship and how lies consume the individuals involved.
• Trish Thuy Trang “Too little, too Late” For all those women scorned, this is a great anthem to get up and dance to. Who knew that breaking up could be fun?
• Diana Ross and the Supremes “You keep Me Hanging On” another song about one-sided love where one person who does not love keeps toying with the other person’s emotions. Who needs someone like that? “Set me free why don’t ya, babe.” this song was recently featured on Fox’s “Glee,” a television show about a high school Glee Club.
