I’m making a Breakdown playlist. The one rule is the singer has to have a breakdown DURING the song—a la You Oughtta Know or Not Getting Married Today—not just describing one (e.g. I Fall To Pieces.) Suggestions welcome!
By the way, I realize I wrote that too ambiguously: what I mean is that the NARRATOR of the song should have the breakdown, not the singer. I’m getting a lot of songs where the performer is weepy, but that’s not what I meant.
(Also, I’ve got Falsettos’ I’m Breaking Down, which is the song that triggered me to create the list.)
