5. Accidental Babies - Damien Rice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPbcXiSSLg4 Damien Rice has one of those raw voices that is so well suited to the emotion that comes with a breakup and the loss of love. Accidental Babies tells the story of losing love to another and that feeling of yearning so much for them to return before time runs out and any chance of reconciliation is lost. The sheer pain and beauty of the expertly crafted lyrics are so perfectly complimented by the single piano throughout, a sound that echoes the loneliness and despair in Damien's voice. If I'm honest, Damien Rice could sing the phonebook and it would still somehow sound like a breakup song, so for him to sing such beautifully haunting lyrics is easily enough to make my top 10 breakup Songs.
