Need a playlist for leaving abusive husband - add tracks here!

[Theworldcouldbemymollusc]

So I’m slowly rebuilding myself after (finally) getting the courage to leave and weirdly yesterday I found that playing certain songs really helped me feel less awful and more determined to ignore his messages. I’ve got
Christina - Fighter
Katy Perry - Roar
F* you - Lilly Allen
Bulletproof - La Roux
Enough cryin’ - Mary J Blige

What else do I need to get me through?

20 fingers. Short dick man.

@Dancer12345
And me! Just had a little listen on YouTube.

Brave by Sara Bareilles

@BertrandRussell - I can’t find it!!

Rage against the machine-killing in the name of.

Quite heavy but stick with until the chorus towards the end!!

Thorn in my side - Eurythmics
Stronger - Kelly Clarkson
Stronger - Kanye West
Eminem - Lose Yourself

Since I left you - the Avalanches

You Don't Own Me - either the classic version by Lesley Gore, an updated version by Whitney Rose or a modern urban twist by Grace feat.G-Eazy. Works on all levels.
A great revenge song - Before he Cheats by Carrie Underwood

Since so many of these are upbeat 'fuck you' type break up songs, I should add:

Blu Cantrell - Hit Em Up Style (Oops)

This is just a really fun upbeat one about selling all of your cheating man's shit!

On that note, I guess I should warn you, the Ben Folds and Pearl Jam ones I posted before are both specifically about finally breaking free from abusive relationships. They're both a bit heavy, but they're also hopeful and triumphant.

They both really resonated with me once I was finally free of an abuser and could see clearly again. Landed still makes me tear up to this day, many years later. But they may be more suited for a darker mood? I don't find them sad, but it's a sensitive subject.

I can remember really clearly a dance version of spiritual high (state of independence) and I played it endlessly but can find no trace of it on the internet and can’t remember who did it . Any ideas vipers?

Asshole by Denis Leary.

Take the box by Amy Winehouse.

Pink - 18 Wheeler
Kate Bush- Running Up That Hill
Cardigans- My Favourite Game (watch the video, she doesn't give a toss)
Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Ain't Got No..I Got Life - Nina Simone Tubthumping - Chumbawumba (possibly not if evil ex was an alcoholic..otherwise...sing along!)
Ugly Heart- G.R.L. (was it Sara Cox who used to say "Turn it up. Turn it up LOUD"? Great video too).

This is me from Greatest showman

Donna Summer - State of Independence?

Aretha Franklin Respect

Goodbye Earl -Dixie Chicks.
Ultimate revenge song for abusive husbands everywhere!

Let the river run - Carly Simon
Moving on up - M people

Well done, it's bloody hard isn't it.
Same position as you.
Two songs come to mind.
This is everything you are, Snow Patrol and I can make it on my own Christie Hennessy.
X

Done by Frazy Ford. Best break up song ever.

Bon Jovi - Someday I'll be Saturday Night

Sunscreen by Baz Luhrmann. Bit left field maybe but I like the message that everyone's life is going at its own pace.

Bloody Mother Fucking Arsehole by Martha Wainwright !

Pretty sure I will survive was actually written about her leaving her abusive husband so seems to be a no brainer really!

I vote for feeling good by nina simone (or muse's cover of it)
