Original: Top 10 Post-Break Up Songs
I dont care what anyone says, if you’ve just been broken up with, you are not a happy person. And pretty much nothing about you is happy for the next few weeks, or months, or (hopefully not) years. First things first, let’s listen to some good ole’ break-up jams. Then we’ll get back to the sobbing, bitching, and late night text messages. Try to keep it together while I list my top 10 post-break-up songs.
3.) Ben Folds Five – Song for the Dumped
Pretty self-explainatory. I’d recommend this to anyone that not only lost a girlfriend, but a lot of money as well.
4.) The Used – All That I’ve Got
This one is pretty much just sad and pathetic. Admittedly one of my favorites, this song is all about missing what you had, but acting like you don’t. Good when you feel like you can’t escape that “My life is shit” feeling.
5.) LEGEND – Suffering
I just like this one for the lyric “Inside, I never wanted to be loved by you.” Keep telling yourself that and maybe it’ll come true.
6.) Cee-Lo Green – Fuck You
This song’s got a pretty obvious sentiment, and it’s catchy as hell.
7.) Evanescense – Call Me When You’re Sober
This is one for the ladies. For when you’re awesome and your ex is a douche bag who wants what he can’t have.
“You never call me when you’re sober. You only want it ’cause its over.”
8.) For the Fallen Dreams – Two Twenty Two
Make sure you tell this idiot it’s in the past, and they won’t be getting the best of you.
9.) Emmure – You Got A Henna Tattoo That Said Forever
“Movie quotes and lyrics still connecting us like constellations. I wonder if I could ever seperate myself from this. And it’ll be awhile ’til I can breathe again.”
10.) Ugly Kid Joe – Everything About You
Oh man, just listen to it.
Synthwave outfit GUNSHIP has released a new official music video this morning for their cover of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” featured on the soundtrack to Corin Hardy’s (The Nun, The Hallow) supernatural horror film Whistle.
To bring it full circle, Corin Hardy directs the music video himself, incorporating previously unseen footage from Whistle. More specifically, the new music video features an extended sequence from the film.
This collaboration builds on GUNSHIP’s longstanding relationship with Hardy, who previously contributed vocals to the band’s track “Cthulhu.”
“Working with Corin is a total dream,” said GUNSHIP. “He’s an old friend who we bonded with over our love for cinema and music, and we were honored to have our song featured in the film. After the Whistle premiere, we were chatting over a pint, and he told us about a beautiful pseudo ‘one shot’ sequence he was heartbroken to lose in the final film. We suggested resurrecting it and using it as a music video. Corin got it immediately, and the result is perfect. It’s heartbreaking, haunting and pure 80s noir soaked.”
Corin Hardy added: “I wanted Whistle to feel like a horror movie I might have watched around the late 1980s, alongside films like A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Lost Boys, and The Breakfast Club. Films steeped in teen-angst and heightened feelings. Music was such a huge part of creating the romance of those cinematic worlds. Gunship’s synth-drenched cover of Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Time After Time’ was always top of my list. Their unique heart-on-your-sleeve sound was the perfect choice for a key moment in the movie. To come together post-release and create this extended music video is simply the cherry on top. Dan, Al & Al (Gunship) have provided the film a real companion piece in the world of Whistle… it makes me want my MTV again!”
It’s a fitting collaboration, as music serves a narrative purpose in Whistle. Music, the director told Bloody Disgusting, was a means of immersing viewers in this world and its characters’ perspectives. Hardy even touched on this particular track: “So in a way, the music you’ll listen to is effectively what Chrys is listening to, which is her dad’s record collection. Then there are other songs like the Gunship track, which is a Cyndi Lauper cover, which is more like Rel’s [Sky Yang] music. It comes in when we have a sequence in Rel’s romantic heartbreak moment. So yeah, I made a character list of who might be listening to what.”
Whistle sees a misfit group of unwitting high school students confronted with mortality when they blow a cursed Aztec Death Whistle, setting a terrifying chain of events in motion.
Dafne Keen (Logan, “The Acolyte“), Sophie Nélisse (“Yellowjackets”), Sky Yang (Rebel Moon), Jhaleil Swaby (“Supergirl”), Ali Skovbye (Grizzly Night, “Firefly Lane”), Percy Hynes White (“Wednesday”), Michelle Fairley (“Game of Thrones”), and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead).
The supernatural teen horror movie is available to stream on Shudder now.
