Songs to sink your heart to the rocks at the bottom

Some say you have to hit rock-bottom before you can get back up. Think of these tracks as anchors to be thrown off the Love Boat.

It Makes No Difference by The Band

Rick Danko's vocals and these lyrics burst swollen hearts like nothing else can. The shreds of your love will forever mingle with the rocks at the bottom.

Melt My Heart to Stone by Adele

Adele penned one of 2008's great debuts. Each note she reinvents sheds a little more light on the path that led to any breakup; her voice will cement a heavy heart to that rocky bottom.

Get Me Away from Here, I'm Dying by Belle & Sebastian

Stewart Murdoch is the master of tongue-in-cheek, subtly brilliant insight. Listen as he explains why we make an attempt at love, but are forced to leave it for the allure of the deep, dark depths of the ocean floor.
