I don’t know about you, but with breakups come some good ‘ol fashion song listening. And I have often found, one such song to always depend on. Sad enough to keep you in the mood, hopeful enough to let you know about the good times. My breakup song? It’s Aubrey by Bread, one of my favorite songs of all time, and it always seems so appropriate for myself.

Listen and I hope you hear the beauty in the lyrics as well as the melody itself… Breakups are supposed to be sad, and music is as an appropriate medium to bear this emotion of sadness, because it is our soul too that needs healing.

Here are the lyrics,

And aubrey was her name,
A not so very ordinary girl or name.
But whos to blame?
For a love that wouldnt bloom
For the hearts that never played in tune.
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing,
Take away the words that rhyme it doesnt mean a thing.

And aubrey was her name.
We triped the light and danced together to the moon,
But where was june.
No it never came around.
If it did it never made a sound,
Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast,
Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past,

But God I miss the girl,
And Id go a thousand times around the world just to be
Closer to her than to me.

And aubrey was her name,
I never knew her, but I loved her just the same,
I loved her name.
Wish that I had found the way
And the reasons that would make her stay.
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest.
If I cant have the one I want, Ill do without the best.

But how I miss the girl
And Id go a million times around the world just to say
She had been mine for a day.
