Clarence Rosario: November 29, 2006 -- "The Comeback"

"The Comeback" by Shout Out Louds
Yahoo! Music
iTunes
Lyrics

So, this is kind of a bittersweet one. Was listening to Howl Howl Gaff Gaff by Sweden's Shout Out Louds, who my brother turned me onto recently. "The Comeback" is a great pop song with retro-60s stylings, with gems like:

and the past three weeks were the saddest weeks
and the words you said oh, made me weak
i'm out of my mind
i'm about to crack, so
let's call this the comeback

My brother just went through a painful divorce, so the Shout Out Louds' brand of melancholy, yet somehow upbeat, pop allows you to simultaneously wallow and pick yourself up. I'd also check out the aptly-titled "Go Sadness" for a beautifully sad and empowering track. These would definitely make my Top Playlist of Breakup Songs (let's hope I don't have to trot that list out...ever...again...).
