Can you recall your first heartbreak? Was there a soundtrack?

My first bf and I listened to Fiona Apple's Criminal album so many times together I couldn't really enjoy her music for a few years.

I still can't listen to Alkaline Trio and it's been several years since I saw that heartbreaker.

She was a big Bret Michaels fan

I can't really recall , but I was very emotionally attached to the album ' Bring the Family" by John Hiatt , which he composed after a divorce and bout with alcolism ....

I genuinely could sense his heartbreak in the album , it was incredibly visceral for me at the time ...


Anyhow here is a track i love ...

There's lots of songs that hit me really hard during my first heartbreak. Especially the ones we called "ours". They all still remind me of that time it just doesn't hurt like it used to. It feels nostalgic though.

This one helped me through it the most. I used to play it on repeat during my drive home from work every day. I'd just smoke a joint & cry my eyes out while I sang every word. I didn't even care if anyone saw me.
One time the song played on it's own when I was with a friend & I left it on. He asked me "wtf are you listening to?" & I told him, "man I'd kill you to this song then sit right back down & keep singing. You don't understand".
He understood.

I didn't experience true heartbreak until much later in life. It hurt. A lot. Once in a while now it's still like a fading bruise.

Our soundtrack was Leonard Cohen, and I couldn't listen to him for almost a decade.

Thinking back…most of the girls I dated liked music I didn’t. Which I find weird.
There was one friend in Uni who introduced me to U2, Jesus and Mary Chain and the Cure. She was cool, but it was platonic

My first heartbreak occurred back in the summer of 1998, when a classmate of mine moved away. But I'm well over that, now.

In the End- Linkin Park.

Second -It's Been Awhile by Staind.

You outta Know- Alanis Morissette seems a good choice too.

Not fond of [i]I Do It for You[/i] - by Bryan Adams

My one and only…it was 1991. No particular soundtrack, though.

This wasn’t my first breakup, but it was significant.
