What is your favourite song about freedom and getting away from toxic people ?

[Lardlizard]

I finally found what went wrong

Madonna - You'll See
George Benson - The Greatest Love of All
Grace Jones - Private Lives (maybe?)

Pink, Blow Me One Last Kiss. Turned it up loud as I drive out of the car park of a toxic workplace, crying because that bastard had managed to get one final blow to my self esteem in on my last day.

If there was a song called, "What an absolute arse" I'd dedicate it to him. The memory still makes me angry 7 years later.

I'm free - soup dragons

No lover by Jetty Bones

Hi

Just thought of a couple more:

Dolly Parton- Dumb Blonde
Nancy Sinatra - These boots are made for walking.

There are just great songs anyway (showing my age here!)

Another one, Don't start now by Dua Lipa. Just listening to it in the radio. It's bloody poetic!!

Lost in the Echo - Linkin Park

My life billy Joel, I always thought jay was a kinda of annoying working men’s club song never knew the meaning behind the song before, see it in an whole different light now

A bit of an eclectic mix but some of my fave tracks I've found over the years to sing/shout to ...

Rage against the Machine - Killing in the name of
Joss Stone - Right to be wrong
VNV Nation - Gratitude
Depeche Mode - Walking in my shoes
Adele - Turning Tables

Radio, Lana Del Ray

I hate you by Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes. I especially love this as he said that while he wrote this about someone else we are probably this person to someone else too.

Wow that is powerful perfect storm ! You guys are opening my eyes to some new songs here !!!

Thanks for all the ideas everyone never heard some of these before and thanks for the reminders of the ones I’ve not heard for a while

Pearl Jam - Rearviewmirror

Another vote for Taylor Swift Never Getting Back Together. If I could time travel I would go back and play it to my 20 something self.

Also So What by Pink.

Yep. This is my go-to most pissed off song!

Yes to Bird Set Free

And a golden oldie- Something Inside So Strong (Labi Siffre)

Ghost by Ella Henderson. “ My friends had you figured out
Yeah, they saw what's inside of you
You tried hiding another you
But your evil was coming through”

Something Inside So Strong - Labi Siffre. I know it's about racism but the lyrics are spot on.

Florence and the Machine Shake it Out.

"It's hard to dance with the devil on your back so shake him off"

Goodness! So many I could say. Some have been written already but..

Rise - by Gabrielle
Not afraid to try it on my own - Whitney Houston.
Doing just fine - Boyz 2 men

Will write when I think of more.

These are old songs by the way
