Number 95: Rilo Kiley - Breakin' Up
Album: Under the Blacklight, 2007.
Added 9/3/07, 34 plays.
If yesterday's song was the plea for the return of a lover, this would be her response. She's past remorse and on to acceptance ("oh, ah, feels good to be free"). She's even to the point where she wishes him nothing but the best ("Here's to all the pretty girls you're gonna meet"). As far as breakup songs go, this is an odd one - it has extremely minimal sentiments of anger or regret, and is just about moving on. Nice.
