Songs to recover from a breakup!!
(59 Posts)Ok ladies doing a playlist on my new phone and thought what songs have become significant over the last year get me through the breakup and came up with the following;
1) Broken Strings ( James Morrison/Nellie Furtado) At the beginning
2) You Outta Know ( Alanis Morrisette) When I found out about OW
3) I Dreamed a Dream ( Anne Hathaway Les Mis; I went to see the film and this song made me howl!!)
4) If I had a Heart (Andy Burrows)
OK now I feel its time to move to the next phase in the 7 (ie; Shock, denial, anger, isolation, bargaining, depression and acceptance ;albeit with a few wallows back in the previous phases on a bad day)
So, suggestions for Phase 7 please!! and what songs were significant for you in the phases.
Abba, driving fast.
The whole of Jagged Little Pill album by Alanis Morisette.
Gives you hell - all American rejects
Fall for anything - the script
Firework - Katy Perry
Rule the World - Take That!!
No idea why but I liked Sophie Ellis Bextor Ill get over you.
Surely I hate you so much right now has gotta be on that list?
I think so Kareninsgirl, only the other day I thought my life has turned into an Alanis Morrisette album!!
Oh also forgot Jar of Hearts, Christina Perry.!!

Mary j blige it's a wrap

Set Fire To The Rain by Adele.
Someone I used to know, Gotye.
Tonights gonna be a good night, David Guetta version. (Every night without stress is a good night!)
That blasted Buble song thats played all the while at the moment - its a beautiful day - some good lines in there and I keep singing along to it.
A slight departure in genre from most of the other suggestions here but this is what I listened to during my last breakup.
Ce'Cile - Nah Stress Over Man
Alaine - Up
Konshens - Simple Song
Hope they help or at least cheer you up!
Beyonce - Irreplaceable
Yes to Jar of Hearts and Somebody that I Used to Know.
Also:
Beyonce, If I were a boy; and Bob Dylan, Positively 4th Street,
' I wish that for just one time, you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you...'
lol, I remember a good one from the 90's - the Prodigy ' No Good' - gets you in a fighting back mood ;-)
Actually most script songs... I think I lived my whole relationship through their first album, went through a bad break up on their second (which I ended up buying 4 copies of as it kept getting scratched I played it in the car so much) and now I'm out the other side their 3rd album is more uplifting ! I think he must have been going through things in a similar fashion to me!
try Tim Minchin's "If I didn't have you... " The funniest love song I've ever heard! Really - I'd recommend it to anyone who needs to get over a relationship:
