whatdoido1717 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Especially 2seeyou who's post inspired me to do this tonight. If you are having trouble with NC then listen to this and read the words. Love to you all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncF6q3QeltU&feature=channel_video_title Funny thing just happened, here is a short little story for you all: I love the Don Henley and The Eagles. I saw them while they were on their Hell Freezes Over Tour back in the day. Anyway, I saw 2seeyou's thread earlier about "Heart of the Matter," a song that I enjoy and immediately knew I didn't want to listen to it right then because it would just make me emotional and sad. Well, I just got home and saw your post and sure enough "Heart of the Matter" comes on when I clicked the link and the sadness sank in immediately while listening to the words. I was almost angry because I didn't want to be even more sad at the moment. My emotions have been all over the place today, from sadness, anger, disbelieve, etc. Anyway, when the song came on I was in a pretty fowl mood, and was getting almost more angry because I was about to be sad on top of that. I came over here to post something about it not helping me cope with my anger and as I began typing Don Henley sang, "There are people in your life who've come on gone. They let you down. You know they hurt your pride. You better put it all behind you, baby, cause life goes on. You keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside," and a wave of comfort rushed over my entire body. Kind of a surreal moment as I was typing about my anger at the moment he sang about it. It was like he was talking to me. Glad I clicked it now. Thank you. ("Jesus man, could you change the channel... Man, come on, I had a rough night and I hate the f****** Eagles, man." Big Lebowski may have had a better night if he listened to "Heart of the Matter")
Author Mov Posted April 8, 2011 Author Posted April 8, 2011 I am healing too - Im on NC and as we are all feeling the same inside it made me feel better doing it, I'm glad it helped you too - we are all in the same boat and our strength can help each other
trippi1432 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Great song...love Don Henley. Definitely inspired me to go out singing tonight. Starting to think it's an LS song night or something...everyone is posting songs...sigh. Maybe one day something will inspire me to start writing them again.
written in the stars Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 That song just made me completely burst out into tears! Today marks 2 weeks of NC for me. This is by far the hardest thing I have ever gone through in my life. Even though it made me cry, it feels good to do so. When you live with someone for over three years and then there are just gone in an instant you end up just feeling like a shell of a man. Yet, I don't feel like I can replace her yet because I don't think I am mentally stable enough to do so. It's like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. It takes every ounce of my will power to keep me from calling, or checking FB. The only thing that keeps me going is coming here and reading everyones kind and wise words. When I feel weak, I visit LS. At home, work, and when I'm out on my phone. So thanks for posting this song and thanks to everyone on this site that truly feels for others in pain, and take the time to respond to those in need!
VJohnson32 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Deep lyrics but song is too soft and makes me soft and sad I would usually go for something like that:
homebrew Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 The ladies may prefer this version over the Don Henley Version. Heart of the Matter - India.Arie This is a very good version of the song... Lyrics Included!
Jerrica Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Wow......I so love this song, and it has a whole different meaning to me now. I'm one month into my break up, day 5 NC.....the 5 days have felt like a year. I burst into tears listening to this....but it was almost relieving.... we really do need to learn how to live without them and truly forgive them to let them go..... stay strong everyone, maybe that phone call we all so desperately want will come, and we can tell them you know, I miss you but I've learned to live without you now so screw off! another one I like, a bit more bitter is

Author Mov Posted April 8, 2011 Author Posted April 8, 2011 You can burst into tears, but crying is good, all these feelings inside we need to get out, and hopefully feel better for doing so.
