Author Ruby Slippers Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 When I'm down I actually find myself listening to a lot of the rubbish rap stuff... people like Jay Z, Kayne, MM etc.... and only for this reason: They have an ego the size of earth, and you can't help but feel better about things, and start strutting about.... :lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao: Big swagger rap and hip-hop is my favorite workout music. It gets me very pumped up and really pushing myself.
Woggle Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 After my divorce I made a misogynistic mix tape but I see why that would not suit you well. Just listen to some fun songs that you enjoy. The best thing for me was travelling with some guys to Montreal listening to some old school rock. 1
edgygirl Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I have a Spotify breakup list called "You Oughta Now" with 350 songs. I'll spare you from posting the whole list here but here is the main title:
tigressA Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Frank Ocean - Bad Religion [Channel Orange] - YouTube
TaraMaiden Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 as you can tell from my song choice, I'm not big on 'wallowing' and playing dirges which focus on the "Woe is me, you're gone, my life is ended, it has no meaning...." Blah, blah bloody blah. You lived and functioned perfectly well without them before, why create dysfunction by halting the process now? Jeesh!
Lasatra Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 When she broke up.. I don't wanna listen to any song.. Not one!! but as it progressed I start listening songs before she was in my life.. to bring back myself snoop dogg - young wild and free (for example) when I felt better by time I listen to some hard/tekstyle definitely to get active ^^ Mark With a K - fly!!
cavalier99 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Try by Pink. Not sure about the video but like the song and lyrics. VEVO Try - P!nk
stevie_23 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I thought I’d post 2 songs I did myself (I’m a singer – songwriter in my spare time) for anyone interested… This one is called Stray Hairs. I wrote it back last June when my now-ex left me for a month after he got really sick and didn’t think we could be together anymore. I didn’t give up hope but was very depressed by it all, as evidenced in the song.

Author Ruby Slippers Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 - Liza Doolitle, in 'My Fair Lady' This one is so bitchy and great. "You brazen hussy!" lol I thought I’d post 2 songs I did myself (I’m a singer – songwriter in my spare time) for anyone interested… Nice, I like your voice! I'm a hobby musician, too, and played guitar and sang for about half an hour tonight. I wrote my first song in ages a few weeks ago, after my biggest fight with the ex. I was glad that at least I got a song out of it. I sang it about 10 times tonight. It's not bad - dark and sexy

stevie_23 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I actually quite like that Mumford & Sons song, I Will Wait. But it does make me sad now.

Lesson In Leavin' Lyrics by Jo Dee Messina - YouTube This ones a bit mushy, but i've always loved this song, long before it had a meaning to me. Some days i've probably listened to it 100 times, it never gets old. A bit mushy to, but very good also.

Sanctionne Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Phantogram - Mouthful Of Diamonds Wake up, you're gettin' high on your own supply Oh, baby, you're still alive when you could've died, oh The world is not around because of you You know I'm not around because of you You've got a mouthful of diamonds And a pocketful of secrets I know you're never telling anyone Because the patterns they control your mind Those patterns take away my time Hello, goodbye Wasted, you tell the truth when you could've lied And troubles are on the rise cuz you're in disguise, oh And if it isn't me then pack your bags and leave I wish I could believe those devils won't take you back Out to the salty sea You've got a mouthful of diamonds And a pocketful of secrets I know you're never telling anyone Because the patterns they control your mind Those patterns take away my time Hello, goodbye I wish I could believe...

NoMoreJerks Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I really like Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive." It's probably the most empowering break-up song, and resonates so much with my experience, especially with my first break-up with my ex... I was listening to it over and over again, after my first break-up, up to a minute before he rang me and wanted to get back together with me. 1
TaraMaiden Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 GG's "I will survive!" is a mega-gay anthem....having several gay friends, I haven't ever been to any social party gathering with them, where it wasn't played.... 'they' have even devised a whole dance routine to it... and as Gloria sings - "Go on now, GO!"... they interject with a resounding "Phuuuk-off!" "Go on now, GO!" ("Phuuuk-off!") "Walk out the door....!" and so on.... Man, they're so funny.....!
Radu Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 this one got me through a fair bit of heartbreaks and got me the ideea to add 'dysfunction' to the great mental picture i had of the one that hurt me ... so i could get over her Manowar - Heart Of Steel - YouTube awesome one pretty close to a true breakup song, very depressive this one is good right after, like a bandaid this is a tad better for the same purpose and this one when you cycle into anger I generally tend to prefer 'man up' and 'get over it, f*ck it' type of breakup music right after it. Doesn't help that metal [which i go to by default] doesn't have many true breakup songs. The emotional stuff is for later when i 'get over it'. PS: I will survive and the one from My Fair Lady are pure awesome.
