We're getting our girls ready for those broken hearts and are planning to make a CD with "get-over-it" songs like: I will survive, These boots were Made for walking, Hit the Road Jack, Get Off of My Cloud, etc. Any other ideas?

Great idea Paula! Save me a copy, I may need it in a few years.

Here's a few more:

"Love Stinks" by J. Geils Band...
"Sheep go to Heaven" by Cake....
"One" redone by Aimee Mann
"Don't Walk Away" by ELO
"I Loved You, So What" by Ani DiFranco
"Waking Up Beside You" by Stabbing Westward
"The Loudest Sound" by the Cure
"Immature" by Bjork
Don't Speak - by No Doubt
I love you, goodbye - Celine Dion
Don't Cry - Guns n Roses

Believe it or not, Paula, all I did was google "breakup songs" and I came up with a slew of them! Who knew, but it's an industry....
 
These are great suggestions! They all have to be "I'm over you" songs, though, and nothing that will make the girls pine away for the guy that got away.

I made one of these cds (well, they were tapes then) when I was in my late 20's/30s and still have it somewhere. I included an Italian song called "Parole, Parole" by Mina (it means "Words, Words - they're only words -- a fantastic duet), and Edith Piaf's "Je Ne Regrette Rien" (I regret nothing). I can't remember all the other songs, but I also had "Put another log on the fire... and tell me once again why you're leaving me?" by the Outlaws. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. by Aretha Franklin was on it, too. (I really have to find that fun tape.) I have to keep in mind that these songs will be for young girls today to help mend their tiny broken hearts when that starts happening. We're a while away from that but I'm sure those days will come soon. I welcome more ideas.

(sorry about changing this thread from gift from boy to girl.. to a thread on mending a broken young heart!)

Your son could make his girlfriend a cd of favorite songs they like. My daughter gives those as gifts and everyone seems to like it.

Excellent idea!!!
 
Making the CD is a great idea, but he opted for something more dazzling. He chose last night, a silver filigree heart shaped locket with her birthstone set in the middle. It's very beautiful and feminine. He is so excited to give it to her! I'm seeing lots of romance in his personality!
