ah, the deep wound that is the breakup. it happens to us all. some of us move on. some of us fall into a state of depression. some of us burn down our professional football player ex-boyfriend's mansion. many of us, though, turn to music and bekah caraway has created a modern (and retro) symphony that takes us through the breakup journey.

but alas!, with any breakup, there is often a happy ending. maybe we'll find it on this mix.

happy listening and happy breakupping!
