half_ofa_heart Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Half a Heart, everytime I see your name it has reminded me of a song from a few years back by Jennifer Hanson and I wondered if you got your name from it. She was a country singer, never had any big success and I think now concentrates on writing instead of performing. Anyway....I looked for the song on youtube but couldn't find her version of it but did find someone else doing it and this lady does it pretty dang good. Take a listen to it To sum it up, this lady goes to the bathroom and she notices the same tattoo on someone else as she has and they start talking and guess who has the other half and well there are a lotta of other girls out there that have the same half a heart tattoo also. It ends with ladies make sure the guy you are with doesn't have a half of a heart tattoo. I like it as well! thanks for sharing. I am really enjoying this thread just because I love music!
half_ofa_heart Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 When you can start to relate to elevator music, you may have hit rock bottom. I literally LOL at this one! :lmao:
Author 2themoon&back Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Bent may be right about Gladys not every being an OW, and like I said I don't even think the song I started with is really about an A, but past love lost. She had a couple about being the OW though...( or maybe she was the BS?) here are a couple that come to mind? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybYIJtKXO1E
BB07 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 When you really want to get down and have a big ole pity party, Norah Jones....... I love her music and think she is exceptionally talented, but it's a big big ole pity party.
JaneyAmazed Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I had the same thoughts and gave up all music except for classical or jazz, NO Words!! Then those songs started having meaning...ugh When you can start to relate to elevator music, you may have hit rock bottom. But then I started to think, the whole A was not full of bad stuff, so why was I making it out to be, and now I can hear SOME of the songs and smile and remember how good I felt at the time. Also I wanted to control my feelings for the A and not believe that everything I went through had nothing positive to be learned from it, so some of the songs took on a different meaning to me as well. I also realized if I kept avoiding all of the song, memoires, pain, I could never never never start to heal any part of myself, so I decided to “face the music” as they say and my world is a better place for it. This is great advice. I am going to slowly start facing the music. I've already started...not with music literally yet, but with other things I've been avoiding....silly stuff to most, but meaningful to me. I'll be glad when these days are over.
Tsm Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 My songs: Luther vandross - Secret love Roberta Flack - where is the love (I felt the same, let me know when the love is gone ) Avant - Lie about us (another wait for me song) Whitney Houston - Save myself (or something i think) I agree fully with the OP, theres a song for everything that happens in our lives. Moral: You are not the first person going through this and you not the last.. I like i like
greengoddess Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 ((((((hugs pure)))))) My xMM's Bday is Valentine’s Day. I remember one year (before the A, we were friends for 12 years first) we were riding around at working and he got a call to come to his office, and he started that way and I said, "maybe you should drop me off at my office, your W may have come with a surprise cake for your Bday/Valentines and you could see the HOPE in his eyes that just maybe I was right, maybe she did surprise him. She did not and never has. (So I know that would be a lie) He was very disappointed when that was not the case; it was just a work related call. I never did that again, I could not take the pain in his eyes or his words. Seriously, he was extremely sad that his wife didn't bring him a cake for his birthday/vday to work? Seriously? What grown man wants their wife to bring a cake to their office for their birthday? That is so silly.

Moral: You are not the first person going through this and you not the last.. I like i like I don't all of these songs but I am sure they spoke to you in some way and when I have more time I am going to look all the suggested song up, may have a new playlist on my IPOD What about Whitney Houston's---- I Will Always Love You!!
Kismetly Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 I love music and I believe there is a song that fits just about every moment of our lives, Even when we have heard the song before and paid it little attention and then something happens and the same song we just heard all of a sudden we are now listening to and it is saying precisely what you’re feeling. . And I love how sometimes you hear it just when you need it. I had an amazing experience this week. I finally found whatever intestinal fortitude that was required and broke up with my MM. I waited until I was on my way to the remote Highlands of PNG so I'd have some space to get used to NC. I was driving back to camp on an amazingly bad PNG road through traditional villages in a big clunking landcruiser, and started thinking about the break up for the first time all day. I turned my I-Pod on shuffle and this song came on that I don't even remember downloading and I don't think I've ever heard before - it's a song by Chely Wright, Shut up and Drive. the lyrics are just fantastic for a break-up song ... it was like a message from the angels You don’t know what you’re talking about, he’s not the one, you ought to know that by now You’ve got one of those hearts that keeps changing your mind – you’re heart has a way of making you stay, so shut up and drive. Don’t look in the mirror, he might have that look in his eyes, the one that’s so strong, strangles your will to survive. He’s mastered the art of looking sincere, his eyes have a way of making you stay, don’t look in the mirror (chorus) I’m the voice you never listened too and I had to break your heart to make you see that he’s the one who will be missin you and you’ll only miss the man that you wanted him to be. Turn the radio on to drown out the sound of goodbye Blink back the tears show me you’ve still got your pride Just get yourself lost in a sad country song, those guys that they play, know just what to say, turn the radio on. (chorus) I listened to it over and over ... and I didn't answer when he called that night. I love the way we receive signs and messages we need!!
Author 2themoon&back Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 Very early on after discovering, when I was VERY filled with hurt and anger towards both my H and his fOW, this had fairly heavy rotation in my playlist: Violet, by Hole And during the times when I was really really down about myself, there was another song that really got to me... Bit of a backstory. My H and I had a very romantic beginning to our relationship.. love letters, bad sappy poetry and all that. But yet the A made me feel so worthless that I spent a good amount of time just after d-day wondering if perhaps he never truly loved me and I was nothing more than an obstacle between him and real love with the OW. So I used to listen to this to hurt myself even more. Pathetic, huh? I am sorry you have been hurt in this way; you are in no way pathetic or worthless. You sound very strong to me and I think anyone would have had some of the same thoughts you had at that time. Did you and your H recover after the A? I think we are all entitled to a good ol’ pity party, when we need one, but the rule is it --- it can only last 3 days. and once a month.
Author 2themoon&back Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 Seriously, he was extremely sad that his wife didn't bring him a cake for his birthday/vday to work? Seriously? What grown man wants their wife to bring a cake to their office for their birthday? That is so silly. Yes I am serious.... ? Are you.....? Is there something wrong with HOPE? hoping someone who loves you would do something sweet or suprise you with a gift, a cake, a kiss? Maybe you and his W are cut from the same bolt of cloth... she may have thought a cake for her H's bday/vday to be silly too instead of a sweet gesture ...so watch out for you H, he may have an OW, like me, who does not share your opinion?
carrie999 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 On Valentine's day, your MM will be romancing his wife and lie to you that they didn't do anything special. Wow! Goldenspoon, I've caught your comments on quite a few threads in the past few days. Take these words to heart: "Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean." -Maya Angelou

I know just what you are talking about I love that too .... just like you said the song can sound so different when you hear again, you may not even release you have heard it before. I guess it is where you are in life at the time that dictates the meaning of a song. I am still waiting to hear my "directional song of the moment" I may even get it from this thread... who knows. Good luck with the break up--- it is a very hard decision. The only thing I can say to be successful is be sure of the reasons you are doing it and make sure they are for YOU, what YOU want; this is the only way you will have the strength to follow through. Best of luck and keep us posted on how you are, you will need support. (((((hugs))))
