What song reminds you of your first heartbreak?

My first real heartbreak came after a relationship that spanned my last year of high school and my first year in college and it had all the things. It was full of great moments but also heated, dramatic, terrible arguments plus trying to make the long distance thing work. We were both young, stubborn and trying to grow up together but separately. It ended like a ton of bricks but gave me so much clarity. I decided to stick it out at college where I was, instead of returning home, and started to finally try to make new friends where I was, in Buffalo. That led to some pretty amazing things about a year later.

One song that sums up the feeling of that heartbreak is Liz Phair’s *Never Said *. That album got me through a lot of relationship ups and downs at the time and when I hear that song I think of my 18 year old self being frustrated and thinking I’m right about everything. Liz Phair’s lyrics made me feel like my experience as a young woman wasn’t so foreign.
