“By the Time I Get to Phoenix”, sung by Glen Campbell, words and music by Jimmy Webb.
Squeeze, “Black Coffee in Bed.”
You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling, Righteous Brothers
I can’t see where anybody’s mentioned You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ by Spector, Mann and Weil, first recorded by the Righteous Brothers, which surprises me a little since it struck me as the most obvious.
ETA: Dammit, that’s what I get for taking the extra minute to research the composers.
Morphine, Gone For Good.
“You Don’t Love Me Anymore”, “One More Minute”, and “Since You’ve Been Gone” by Weird Al Yankovic all immediately came to mind; there’s probably several more by him.
“Two Outta Three Ain’t Bad” by Meat Loaf.
Randy Newman’s “Just One Smile.” I can’t seem to find him singing it, but here’s Dusty Springfield
“When Love is Gone” from The Muppets Christmas Carol
Louis Jordan’s “Is You Is or Is You Ain’t My Baby.”
… You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free…
Carl Perkins “I’m Sorry I’m Not Sorry.”
I think.
I dunno. She kept on telling him “There ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you,” not that she stopped loving him.
‘Jar of Hearts’ by Christina Perri
Wow! That is one of my favorite Blood Sweat & Tears songs. No idea it was a Randy Newman song. If you’re not familiar with the BST version I highly recommend it. I’ll have to seek out Newman’s.
My contributions:
“Break Your Heart” by Barenaked Ladies
“Seeing Other People” by Belle & Sebastian
“Don’t Change Your Plans For Me” by Ben Folds Five
(Yes I only listen to artists starting with “B”)
Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way, The Chain
Wayne Newton - Daddy Don’t You Walk So Fast - A father is leaving his daughter behind at the airport
Classics IV - Traces - Listen to Spooky and Stormy first in that order to get the full story of a love affair from beginning to end
Every Little Thing (ELT) - Time Goes By - This was a big hit in Japan in 1998 and for some reason defined that year for me, which wasn’t a good one. It’s not your usual I’m so sad we broke up, but “we both have something to learn from our breakup”.
"Remember it one more time
The way we loved each other so much
That we were able to say “thank you”
Say goodbye…
The moment the pain and scars are left behind
We will understand the meaning of true tenderness
Surely"

Harden My Heart by Quarterflash
Thank God and Greyhound, Roy Clark
She Got the Goldmine, I Got The Shaft, Jerry Reed
Cause We Ended As Lovers by Syretta

“But that was more than years ago
And who will love me I don’t know
It’s sad for sure but true it won’t be you”

Most people are only familiar with Jeff Beck’s version, but this one is great too.
