I've joined Spotify and need a playlist keep me strong.
Stbxh was controlling and emotionally abusing and there was so much I wasn't allowed ( including my own music) and whilst I'm getting better each day by taking back a little control here and there I'm not there yet .
So lovely MNetters what inspiring tunes shall I add Smile

Whitney - Not Right, but it's Ok.

That one? Although might be a bit later.

Have been happily married for years, but my best friend breaks up with her useless boyfriend about 4 times a year so I have plenty of experience Wink

I was a huge Beyoncé fan until a few years ago but still listen to all her earlier albums, but the only song I can wake up to is

“Best thing I never had” - Beyoncé.

I’ve tried to change it but then sleeps through my alarm. It’s always the song I finish a run with. Kind of gives me extra oomph as I near the finish line. I’ve so gotten used to the song that when my ex ended up on my daughters bed for 2 nights (after an attempted suicide a month earlier and then OW leaving him that day and his family was all abroad) my alarm went off. Next thing I knew he was in my bedroom door asking why would I purposely play a song about karma, etc. When he is down and in that situation. It took me a sec to realise that he actually listen to the song and yep Karma got him that day.

Thorn In My Side, Eurythmics.... great lyrics!

Thorn in my side.
You know that's all you ever were.
A bundle of lies.
You know that's all that it was worth
I should have known better
But I trusted you at first.
I should have known better
But I got what I deserved
To run away from you
Was all that I could do.
To run away from you
Was all that I could do.
Thorn in my side.
You know that's all you'll ever be.
So don't think you know better
'Cause that's what you mean to me
I was feeling complicated.
I was feeling low.
Now everytime I think of you
I shiver to the bone

Repeat ad nauseam.

Got to be Survivor by Destiny's Child.

thesuninsagittarius · 18/09/2019 13:37

@MrsGaryLightbody; I'm going through the same thing. I recommend 'Castles' by Freya Ridings
'I'm gonna build castles from the rubble of your love...
I'm gonna be more than you ever thought I was..'

ChorleyFMcominginyourears · 18/09/2019 13:38

Deffo survivor by destiny's child and hole in the head by the sugababes would be my go to songs!

Can’t believe no one has said “I will survive” by Gloria gaynor yet! Surely the ULTIMATE break-up song. (Il never forget my auntie dancing wildly to it in the 80’s after she’d divorced her shitty husband - great memories!)
