Never Go Back - the album →[More:]A friend of mine recently split with her husband and she has asked me to remind her of what an arsehole he was to her if I think she is considering going back to him. I figured, apart from normal reminding, I might make a mix CD of music to help remind her. Unfortunately, I can't think of much. She's in her 30s and likes country (but I don't hold that against her) and rock.

Any suggestions welcome.

Jenny Lewis, Godspeed:

No good, no how, no man should treat you like he do
So come on right now, it's time for you to get up and out of his house
I've known you too long to let you carry on this way
When I was in bad shape I'll never forget what you always used to say

What are we going to do with you?
You don't make it easy on me
What am I supposed to do with you
If you won't let me help you, won't you?

Asshole -Denis Leary
Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole - Martha Wainwright
Fuck Was I - Jenny Owen Youngs

These are more cathartic but can work in a pinch.

When I was recovering from the break up with my ex-wife, I spent a lot of time listening to the album "I'm Alive" by Jackson Browne. It was basically a break up album for him and just about everything hit home for me.

I'm Alive:

I want to go where I will never hear your name
I want to lose my sorrow and be free again
And I know I've been insane
When I think of the places I could've been
