Music albums that defined the start and end of your relationship

[Christophe]

Thought I would start a thread on this as I thought it would be interesting. Music is a very important part of my life and is very powerful emotionally for me as I think it is for most people. There are many songs and albums that take me back to certain points in my life. I wanted to share the two albums that sort of defined my relationship with my ex.

 

The first album I have that recalls how beautiful and exciting our relationship was one that was released just before our first trip together to Amsterdam. The album is a post-rock instrumental album by a band called Moonlit Sailor. The album is called We Come From Exploding Stars. It is a beautiful journey throughout the album and conjures so many romantic memories for me. So much so that I don't know if I will be able to listen to this album again.

 

The songs remind me of when everything was perfect and I listened to this album in the airport at 3am waiting for my flight to see my girl for the first time after 8 weeks apart. It is so beautiful and I would recommend listening to it if you are in love again now. I hope one day I can listen to it again.

 

 

The album that came out shortly after the break up is called Get Hurt by my favourite band called The Gaslight Anthem. It is essentially a break up album as the lead singer divorced from his wife of 10 years when he wrote it. It is devastatingly beautiful and every song has deep meaning and relevance to me. I am hoping this album will eventually help me heal as I am still having a tough time moving on 13 weeks later. There is one song called Break Your Heart which is the one song I would play to my ex now if I could. I think the album is incredible. It describes my state of mind perfectly and I think if anyone has been through a break up recently they should listen to this album. I believe you will really connect with it.

 

I hope some of you check out these two albums and I look forward to seeing what other music has defined other peoples' relationships. I hope that one day soon I will have other positive happy music that signifies new hope with a new girl.

Hi, I find it uncanny that some music past present future can be part of who you are at a moment of time. Even when you are so unique and so different that not many understand you as well as you understand them.

 

I found a few songs that describe my life from beginning to my very future. Though I may have had a couple of relationships amidst my transition to making a life before me. Some of the songs are an album in its self. Not by length but by magnitude in their design.

 

Dream Theater:

Songs: Octavarium, The Answer Lies within, Solitary Shell, These Walls, Hollow Years, Surrounded, Take Away My Pain, I Walk Beside You, Take the time.

My ex was an audiophile, had a full external hard drive full of music, that he would make mix cds from, and give to me. I probably have 30 cds worth of music from over the course of the relationship. He loved classic rock from the 60s mostly, the Who being his favorite.

 

Anyway, I eventually, near the end of the relationship, wanted to take up the ukulele, and wanted to to include him in on my new hobby. He just didn't care. I was devastated, because I thought it would be something he'd get into.

 

I took up the uke as a hobby after we broke up.

 

After the breakup, I spent months working on a break up mix, adding new songs as I saw fit- and managed to compile a 1.5 hour mix detailing our breakup and my subsequent: some of my songs, some of his. One that was "ours", coincidentally, that fit right at the very beginning.
