So we all know how you hear a certain song and emotions come rushing back about that certain someone and you have to change the radio/ipod ASAP!

What about the songs that help you look forward and optimistic?

I'll start out with some of my favorites:

 

The Almost - southern weather"

Anthony Green - Dear Child

Armor for Sleep - "Dream to Make Believe" album

The Beatles - Let it Be

Bob Marley - Three Little Birds

Boxcar Racer - There is (It's sad but helps)

Frank Sinatra - That's Life

Iration - Turn Around (Not really about moving on, more about giving your all for a last chance...how I feel most days)

John Mayer - "Continuum" album

Johnny Cash - It Aint Me Babe

Kid Cudi - Pursuit of Happiness

Less Than Jake - The Science of Selling Yourself Short (sorta, more for me)

Matisyahu - One Day

Michael Bublé - Haven't Met You Yet

New Found Glory - Boy Crazy (for guys)

Oasis - Stop Crying Your Heart Out

Pepper - Ashes

Rebelution - Bright Side of Life, Too Rude (lol)

Sublime - What I Got

Taking Back Sunday - Make Damn Sure

Three Legged Fox - Maybe I'm Sorry

Underoath - I'm Content With Losing

The Used - Maybe Memories

+44 - No it Isn't

The song Red Rubber Ball by Cyrkle pretty much sums up my last relationship 99%.

 

 

What is ironic is the last time I can remember hearing the song (pre-break up) was when I was with my ex on a roadtrip a few months back.

Anything by Sevendust is very powerful to me. The music is kickass , but the lyrics and Lajon's voice evoke real emotions.

 

The best/worst thing about music, is it can take your memory to an exact moment in your history within a milisecond upon hearing it.

Yeah for sure, I can't listen to atleast 1/4 of my music right now. Hate that connection.

I cant listen to any of my music at the moment, makes me feel so anxious, so I just listen to the radio instead.

Whaaat? Did I see some Beatles, some Sinatra, Oasis, and even Mister Johnny Cash in that list, OP? Veddy nice, indeed. And, oh geez. Armor for Sleep, Underoath... The Used. Bringing back some old memories here. :) Anyway.

 

But yes, music is extremely therapeutic. I wouldn't be nearly as healed as I am if I didn't have headphones stuck in my ears half the damn time. Some music that always makes me feel pretty optimistic lately:

 

Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Did I Let You Know"

(Just pure feel good music for me.)

 

Noah and the Whale - "Blue Skies"

(This one always lifts me up, no matter what else is going on.)

 

Incubus - "The Warmth"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4XQMEMQE94

(Helps me to not become so bitter, and reminds me that not every man out there is complete sh*t.)

 

Neil Young - "Heart of Gold"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlFNA4EfexQ

(Symbolizes my journey of trying to heal.)

music has been a HUGE part of my healing!!! here are some of my (mostly very girly) favorites.

 

Jar of Hearts - Christina Perri

sad, yet empowering at the same time. it is pretty much my ultimate theme song for my ex.

 

Irreplaceable - Beyonce

awesome for remembering that you will find someone better!

 

Fighter - Christina Aguilera

for screaming/singing in the car when you remember what scum your ex bf was and how much better off you are.

 

Gives You Hell - All American Rejects

for girls or for guys... another one thats great for screaming along to in your car.

 

 

And some Alanis Morrissette... which is just plain classic.
