celticguy Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 Gahhh I hate this, i can't listen to any music anymore, Every song has something to do with love or meeting someone. My girlfriend broke up with me and left to go to another country - also formed a relationship with another guy which was part of it So i picked a random playlist from our mp3 server in work .. and this is what i got .. Metallica - Nothing else matters Self destruction - final No Life The beegees - more than a woman John Denver - Leaving on a jet plane Frank sinatra - dream a little dream of me Tina Turner - Whats love got to do with it What the hell .. is this some kind of sick joke
smile95 Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 oh I hate that! I end up putting on some heavy metal or rap channel to avoid the tears! Like every song was meant for me!!!!!
FWIW Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 that's because the reason you're hurting has happened to many other people, some of them have made songs out of it... isn't that comforting in a way? You're not alone in your grief?
Author celticguy Posted August 12, 2005 Author Posted August 12, 2005 Yeh i sppose but now Johnny Nash - I can see clearly now is on !! Gaahhhh!

bing bing Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 LOL! Going through the same thing. I am 6'5 225lbs and into Hard Core Punk and Gloria Estefan's " I'd still do anything for you" came on the other day and almost made me cry. DAMN YOU GLORIA ESTEFAN!!!!!!!!!!
lostinmymind Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 That is because your mind will morph anything to remind you of your ex. Whatever you do DO NOT LISTEN TO COUNTRY, it's the most depressing experience you could put yourself through, every song will make you cry. lol
Iluvsiamese Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 It all seems relevant because most music is emotionally engaging--one way or another. Sometimes, I just give up and wallow in it, but one of my favorites for getting back on my feet is "What's it to Ya?" by Robbie Neville (I think!) Love that song!
pearlsasinger Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 At work we listen to satellite radio. The week I broke up with my boyfriend, the boss had on what must have been the Cheesy Romantic 80s Love Songs Channel on for that entire week!!! I burst out crying everyday after work as soon as I left. Talk about cruel and unusual punishment! Lately, I've been listening to the Bob and Sheri show, a nationally syndicated radio show. It's on 6am-9am so I listen on the way to work. So funny, one of the few things that helped me keep my sanity through the breakup. You can download it to your Ipod too if you go to the Web site. (google it)
Iluvsiamese Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 Funny about that, eh? My guy has a real thing about "If I Could Turn Back Time" by Cher. The song makes me want to vomit. He loves it because he identifies with it and I hate it because it is a constant reminder that he is still in love with his ex-wife after being separated for 9+ years and divorced for 8. The local radio station we listen to plays it 2-3 times a day, every day. With three decades of music to choose from, can't they find another song to play???
Art_Critic Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 You are listening to the wrong music for a breakup. Why listen to Sappy stuff? " Given The Dog a Bone " Is my type of breakup music
morrigan Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 There are different versions of music therapy. I guess there is the feeling that the anger or hurt you're experiencing isn't an isolated emotion; a lot of people, including musicians, have felt exactly the same way. Some people deal with breakups by listening to classical music or cranking Hank Williams Sr., or will blast metal and grindcore. I haven't ever heard of someone listening to polka after a breakup, though.
karatekid Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 "One good thing about music, when it hits you (you feel no ...) feel no pain"-Bob Marley I love Bob but when your heart hurts music can rip it apart. One of my favorites is Silver Springs(Fleetwood Mac): "I'll begin not to love you Turn around, see me runnin' I'll say i loved you years ago Tell myself you never loved me, no" AAAHHH!! I sent a Cd of sappy songs to an ex recently............It was a dumb thing to do but she'll enjoy it.
Mr.positive Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 Music helps me deal with things better. Gives you hope.
jimeny Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Yeah music realy has hit me with my recent break up, alot of songs remind me of times i had. Some of my favourite songs were our favourite and they hit me the most, or just songs that i used to listen to around the time just give me some kind of recognition of her. Is sooooo annoying. But definatley something loud and fast like metal is good, helps you forget about it, or get angry even!!!!! hate the slow stuff.... but over time when you start to move on songs will just remind you of good times rather than getting you down, at the moment is giving me reminders of good times, making me gratefull but sad also...
