You ever find yourself listening to music that could slow down the healing process?

 

I love music. I get lost in it so easily. Ive played a few instruments back in the day and its always been a part of my life...

 

I think music helps set your mood. It can guide you to where you need to be, or pull you in the wrong direction...

 

While I know I should be listening to songs like "I dont care anymore" by Phil Collins, I find myself listening instead to "Right Here" by Stained.

Music place a big part in the process I'm going through, I meen when I hear a song that gets my adrenalin going and makes me happy, I feel fine and happy.

 

Now if a very sad song comes on, I really usually change it even if I like it. It would be nice for it to be a healer for me, but I can't bare to hear some songs..

Posted

Yeah, right now it's "Lying Eyes" by The Eagles for me...

Posted

Fallen by Sarah McLachlan.

 

I'm addicted to feeling miserable.

I just don't listen to anything right now!!!! Its horrid but true....

Heard an old song the other day that really made me feel much better. "Feeling Stronger Every Day" by Chicago. Specifically about the end of a relationship. Made me feel pretty good, actually!

Why don't you try 'Better do Better' by Hard-Fi.

 

Puts a smile on my face without fail!

The Gift... Blasting the HELL out of it as I type this!!!

 

Hold me now I need to feel relief

Like I never wanted anything

I suppose I'll let this go and find a reason I'll hold on to

I'm so ashamed of defeat

And I'm out of reason to believe in me

I'm out of trying to get by

 

I'm so afraid of the gift you give me

I don't belong here and I'm not well

I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living

Right on the wrong side of it all

 

I can't face myself when I wake up

And look inside a mirror

I'm so ashamed of that thing

I suppose I'll let it go

Til I have something more to say for me

I'm so afraid of defeat

And I'm out of reason to believe in me

I'm out of trying to defy

 

I'm so afraid of the gift you give me

I don't belong here and I'm not well

I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living

Right on the wrong side of it all

 

Hold me now I need to feel complete

Like I matter to the one I need

 

I'm so afraid of the gift you give me

I don't belong here and I'm not well

I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living

Right on the wrong side of it all

 

Now I'm ashamed of this

I am so ashamed of this

Now I'm so ashamed of this

I am so ashamed of me...

Another Damn good song... by Evanescene

 

Perfect by nature

Icons of self indulgence

Just what we all need

More lies about a world that

 

Never was and never will be

Have you no shame? Don't you see me?

You know you've got everybody fooled

 

Look here she comes now

Bow down and stare in wonder

Oh how we love you

No flaws when you're pretending

But now I know she

 

Never was and never will be

You don't know how you've betrayed me

And somehow you've got everybody fooled

 

Without the mask, where will you hide?

Can't find yourself lost in your lie

 

I know the truth now

I know who you are

And I don't love you anymore

 

It Never was and never will be

You don't know how you've betrayed me

And somehow you've got everybody fooled

 

It never was and never will be

You're not real and you can't save me

Somehow now you're everybody's fool

Going Under by Evanescene

 

50 thousand tears I've cried

Screaming, deceiving, and bleeding for you

And you still won't hear me

Don't want your hand this time, I'll save myself

Maybe I'll wake up for once

Not tormented...Daily defeated by you

Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom

 

I'm dying again...

 

(Chorus)

I'm going under

Drowning in you

I'm falling forever

I've got to break through

I'm going under

 

Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies

So I don't know what's real and what's not

Always confusing the thoughts in my head

So I can't trust myself anymore

 

I'm dying again

 

(Chorus)

 

So go on and scream

Scream at me

I'm so far away

I won't be broken again

I've got to breathe

I can't keep going under

 

(Chorus)

rain clouds come to play again

soon i know i'll wake from this dream

don't try to fix me i'm not broken

hello i'm the lie living for you so you can hide

don't cry

 

suddenly i know i'm not sleeping

hello i'm still here

all that's left of yesterday

I know what you mean, Music is a big part of my life as well. I try to devote at least 6 hours to guitar a day. It's a good hobby to have, whenever Im feeling down I can focus all my energy into my instrument until all the negitivity washes away under my playing.

 

Hahaha, I know what you mean about listening to music that could hurt you what your coping. When one of my Ex's broke up with me (My first love, actually), my good friend told me; "Now, make sure you don't listen to ANY Jonny Cash for a while. You'll kill yourself."

 

Apparently his brother almost did after a break-up, he listened to too much Jonny Cash, and yeah.

 

Anyway, Music is really the most important thing in my life. It kicks ass.

I don't know if the music influences the mood, or the mood influences the music.

 

After all, Phil Collins wrote "I don't care anymore" a couple of years after his marriage ended, during which time he had become an international pop star. I'm sure he didn't care at that point. :)

Actually, it's both. "Major" guitar chords are used to portray a happy feeling in the brain, while "Minor" chords are used to portay sad feelings. So, if your feeling blue, you can eather play a bunch of minor chords to reflect your sadness, or a bunch of major chords to cheer you up :p

 

Music is neat.

Music is a big part of my life too. Play guitar everyday and have started learning the drums.

 

Right now I'm listening to anything by the Arctic Monkeys (particularly 'Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts'). Definitely NOT listening to anything by The Smiths (particularly not 'Never Had No-one Ever'!) No sad music here!

Lost in my music again tonight... just thought I would share... :)

 

My Immortal By Evanescence

 

I'm so tired of being here

Suppressed by all my childish fears

And if you have to leave

I wish that you would just leave

'Cause your presence still lingers here

And it won't leave me alone

 

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

 

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me

 

You used to captivate me

By your resonating life

Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind

Your face it haunts

My once pleasant dreams

Your voice it chased away

All the sanity in me

 

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

But though you're still with me

I've been alone all along

Posted

man the lyrics of my immortal ring very true for me right now.

 

I agree, music is a huge part of me and my moods. I'm a singer, and actually got my degree in music ed (though i'm not using it). I play a few instruments, and in general, always can find some happiness amongst depression, by doing something with music. It's just right now, I hear certain songs that remind me of him. Songs he liked. Etc. Sad how that happens too...

I love music also, I love songs with emotion in them, you can just feel them. Heres one I love listening to in my self pity.

 

Stabbing Westward- Save Yourself

 

I know your life is empty

And you hate to face this world alone

So you're searching for an angel

Someone who can make you whole

I can not save you

I can't even save myself

So just save yourself

 

I know that you've been damaged

Your soul has suffered such abuse

But I am not your savior

I am just as f**ked as you

I can not save you

I can't even save myself

So just save yourself

 

Please don't take pity on me

Please don't take pity on me

Please don't take pity on me

Please don't take pity on me

 

My life has been a nightmare

My soul is fractured to the bone

And if I must be lonely, I think I'd rather be alone

I think I'd rather be alone

 

You can not save me

You can't even save yourself

I can not save you

I can't even save myself

Save yourself

So just save yourself

Posted

It also depends on kind of music you listen to

 

I prefer black or death metal if i am recovering. Helps much better i think in coping faster :D

 

Listening to slow songs or rock songs can infact lead to more thinking abt the whole relationship in my opinion which is not good or is it . what do others think ?

Behind these hazel eyes - Kelly Clarkson

 

Seems like just yesterday

You were a part of me

I used to stand so tall

I used to be so strong

Your arms around me tight

Everything, it felt so right

Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong

Now I can't breathe

No, I can't sleep

I'm barely hanging on

 

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

 

I told you everything

Opened up and let you in

You made me feel alright

For once in my life

Now all that's left of me

Is what I pretend to be

So together, but so broken up inside

'Cause I can't breathe

No, I can't sleep

I'm barely hangin' on

 

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

 

Swallow me then spit me out

For hating you, I blame myself

Seeing you it kills me now

No, I don't cry on the outside

Anymore...

 

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

 

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

Letting GO: By ME :)

 

At the end of the day

When a loves gone away

Does it really even matter

The reasons feelings get shattered

 

We sit and wonder why

Our minds wonder and cry

We scream out in pain

Our soul is stripped away

 

The pain just wont subside

We crawl inside and hide

Till one day comes along

Bad feelings now are gone

 

You have to let it go

It takes some time I know

Let out the bad inside

Let Love back in your life

 

Another will come along

If you are true and strong

Don’t deny your self this fact

And you’ll find a love that lasts
