Because broken hearts (although it's not so much of a broken heart as a heart that's been ripped out of your chest) and breakups are awful, and you need music (and tea, and books, and movies, and friends) to help you cope with -- and hopefully get over -- them.

(Featuring artists such as Bon Iver, Ballboy, and Simon & Garfunkel. Enjoy! And may this ease your suffering when it comes to breaking up.)
