It's been ages since this tune came out and introduced Ultra and the Basement Boys to the world of housemusic. But lyrics like "I'm gonna change my hair/ The clothes I wear/ The life I live/ The love I give/ Gonna change my walk, The way I talk/ Put on brand new shoes and attitude" Still the best way to get over someone to change all the things that may remind you of that person.

She may still be wearing his name, but that will change soon, because "things are not the same/ Found me a better man/ Someone who loves me and understand/ Sorry but I gotta go/ Before I leave I wanna let you know/ The papers are on the way/ You can be lookin' for them any day". Actually not a song about being single again, but being independent from a love that's over.

I'm not so sure if she's really over that guy, but I guess it's just to let that bastard know what he has missed. And lyrics like "Third verse begins on a Sunday/ I told you 'ish' or get off the pot/ You are your own worst stumbling block/ Your psychoanalyst I am not/ I only hope that one day you’ll dust off that corner shelf/ Where you hide truth from yourself where love's the prisoner...you’re the cell/ If you loved yourself more, you would've been with me/ You would've been crying tears of joy instead of pain/ If you loved yourself more, you would've been with me/ You wouldn't be trying to run from us, it’s such a shame" shows she's feeling some kind of sorrow that it didn't work out but won't fall into old habits and have another relationship with that man.

That's the song for all the people who threw their lovers out of their appartements and are really, really through with them. Lyrics like "Hello, why are you calling me?/ I told you time and time again/ Don't tie my phone up with your nonsense/ You had your chance and you blew it/ You made your bed so lie in it/ Don't ever come to me with this because I really don't need it right now/ I'm too busy/ This drama must now end the rest of your things I'll send/ Go your separate ways/ There's nothing left for you to say/ You just sing the same old song/ You love doing wrong/You can make amends and by the way no, we can't be friends/ I'm through" say it all, there's no way to turn back the time.

Hot House featured the soon to become famous M-People singer Heather Small. Everything you think M-People and Heather's voice may lack, you'll find here, Heather never sounded more mature with a more jazzy background (just listen to Eric Leeds saxplay). Losing The Feeling is the perfect song to tell someone that it's over.

Not the funk/pop version but the sublime liveversion from Jody's Affection album. Done in a more jazzy way and when you're really ready for a new love you're at long last over the previous affair.

Dealing with the pleasures of not being dependent on somebody this is a piece of uplitfing garage/house.

That's really a song on the selfish trip lyricwise. "Do what I wanna do/ See who I wanna see/ Go where I wanna go/ Be who I wanna be/ Laugh when I wanna laugh/ Sing when I wanna sing/ Take what I wanna take/ Bring what I wanna bring/ Shout when I wanna shout/ Talk when I wanna talk/ Run when I wanna run/ Walk when I wanna walk" But, hey, that's some of the advantages of being single, you're able to do what you wanna do!

"Just another page in my life" if you can see a love affair from that point of view, you are really over it. Turn the page and go on to the next chapter. By the way Love Stories was written by Gary Taylor.

Not a song about the joys of being single, but a great song (especially in the live version) about a new love and how that helped Miki to get over the last one.

"I'm at this stage now when I just don't care/ Times just got to be shared/ You can't have what you want all of the time", reaching the state of indifference about you ex is always a good sign...maybe sometimes time does heal all wounds?!

Imagine you bought a house together with your lover...and when it's over isn't it the best to get rid of everything that reminds you of days long gone? Although Millie sounds more like a real estate agent on this one, praising the advantages of the house, you know it's definitely over, especially when she is satisfied with two dollars at the end of the song just to find her inner peace.

One of my favourite session singer for good housetracks on the pleasures of going out and screaming and shouting just for the joy of it. Uplifting!

Another Kerri Chandler production about lost love, broken hearts and discovering a "greater love" that eases the pain. You could guess it, the singer has discovered the love of a higher power...don't know if she's becoming a nun soon...

Can't argue with lyrics like "I won't be a fool/ A fool for love/ 'Cause I know I'd rather be alone/ Than be unhappy" that fits perfectly to this compilation!

Another of this self explaining songtitles, and it saves me to write a large paragraph about it. And just for the record Brigette wrote this together with Frank McComb.

Featuring Angie Stone on vocals, this is a nice idea...offering special courses for all the broken hearts out there...you certainly will make a fortune with it, and if you'll ever use a TV commercial, that'd be the perfect music for it!

"but I'm not alone/ I'm fine without you" great song about the fact that being single isn't the same as being alone. Something people who are looking so desparate for a lover often forget.
