Mine was Creep by Radiohead. I thought I was so angsty and tortured

My niece is currently heartbroken and playing Lewis Capaldi on a loop.

4 Non Blondes - What's Up?

And a bit later I seem to recall miming to All Saints' Never Ever in the mirror after being dumped again. Maybe miming in the mirror was one of the reasons I was dumped 🤔😂

Fields of Gold by Sting - I can feel the pain now! Ahh to be a teenager again not for a big fucking clock!

Alanis Morrisette. Now listening to Jagged Little Pill again. In shared accommodation and no earphones to hand so slight concern about what fellow guests will think Grin .

Great thread!

Definitely the whole of Jagged Little Pill.

If my parents told me off for not doing homework or whatever, I’d go to my room and blast Perfect - I thought I was really making a point! Blush

MockerstheFeManist · 16/07/2019 21:18

I'm Not In Love by 10cc

"Big Boys Don't Cry," then it ends with the massivest wank evah.

GrasswillbeGreener · 16/07/2019 21:27

I don't know if anyone else has posted who was a "deviant" like me - I couldn't stand popular music as a teen. But my favourite get-it-all-out-and-deal-with-it piece was Beethoven's Pathetique sonata on the piano. Eventually I could sort of play it to my own satisfaction (as long as I thought no one else could hear me!); the first movement allowed you to work out all your anger / frustration / upset, the second movement calmed you down then the last movement cheered you up!

dementedma · 16/07/2019 21:30

Logical Song -Supertramp
Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel

Benjispruce · 16/07/2019 21:35

Mary’s Prayer by Danny Wilson

IdblowJonSnow · 16/07/2019 21:45

Oh god, yes the Verve, although I was in my 20s then. Protracted angst - still on going in my 40s!
