My name is Terry and this is my blog. 
12/05/2005: "You Left Me Just When I Needed You"
The reason I started this blog was to create a diversion from a break-up that I experienced this summer. It was a three-year relationship and I can only assume that it saddened the both of us.
So today's list is a baker's dozen of break-up songs that I listened to a lot this year. Constantly, in most cases. Some even played in my head when there was silence around me.
As you'll see, Damon Albarn writes some of the best of 'em. Some of these aren't break-up songs, per se, but you get the point. The above Subject Line is a lyric from one of the songs below. Let's not read too much into this.
