Looking for motivational songs to help with overcoming H affair and deceit

[Whatnext074]

Some of you may have read my post on my H leaving me for a co-worker and know that I am really struggling to cope.

Music is very important to me but I can't bear to have radio on or use my I-pod as there are so many songs that bring back memories.

My H has an I-tunes account which I don't think he's deactivated yet so I'm looking to fill my I-pod with songs that will help me during the bad times to get my strength back and I would like some suggestions.

I have thought of Alanis Morrisette - You Oughta Know and Kelis, Caught Out There (I hate you so much right now).

Are there any other suggestions?

I'm with AF with "I need a little time"

I also liked to listen to Gwen Stefani "Early Winter" not up beat but I like the bit about "you lied to me all these years"

Ooh sorry, forgot the most important one of all which is
Here I go again - Whitesnake
That song makes me feel great when I feel sad and another good one would be
Tell me lies - fleet wood mac
Married Men - Bonnie Tyler
Really sorry you are going through this and wish you all the best.

Not a song, but a poem: Rise by Maya Angelou. ALWAYS hits the spot for me. It's a poem with magic powers.

If it has to be a song though, Ben Harper does a song version of Rise.

Yes by McAlmont and Butler

Florence + The Machine: Shake it out
Our love is pastured, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Jar of hearts. I think it's by Christina Peri. A good fight song.

"who do you think you are, going around leaving scars, collecting your jar of hearts... " lalala and then "you're gonna catch a cold, from the ice inside your soul, so don't come back for me, don't come back at all!"

Beautiful words AlbertaCampion

Thank you mrsm22

Mcalmont & butler - 'yes' :

'So you want to know me now, and how I've been? You can't help someone with problems after what you did....'

"Yes I do feel better, yes I do, I feel alright... I feel well enough to tell you what you can do with what you've got to offer...' Sounds quite chirpy but when you listen a few times you start to really see how angry he was when he wrote it. Very cathartic.

And the cheesey lovely 'I'm still standing' by elton John.

Sorry - cross post with letuspray

Great minds think alike

Good luck op. keep being strong!

Elton John " I'm still standing , always works for me even when I'm in the gym oh and my chemical romance "I'm ok" great song great song especially if your felling in a little bit of a more aggressive mood :) just try it x

Katy Perry - Firework
Christine Aguilera - Fighter

It is a bit 90s but Garbage still rock... Special is a great angry break up song.

My songs were:

Titanium - David Guetta ft Sia

Don't Stop - Fleetwood Mac

Times Like These - Foo Fighters

It's not right, but it's ok - Whitney Houston

Sorry you're going through such a rough time, OP:-

You can go your own way - Fleetwood Mac
All cried out - Alison Moyet
Warwick Avenue - Duffy
Reeling in the years - Steely Dan

Don't Worry by Kim Appleby (of Mel and Kim fame) was a bit of a life saver for me at a particularly tough time in my life (aged poster alert).

Bit heavy but Three Days Grace - I hate everything about you. Oh and F+*k You by Ceelo Green

alanis morrisett, you oughta know. pure anger! and another vote for mcalmont and butlers yes.

And 'I look so good without you' Jesse James,'You'll think of me' Keith Urban, 'Too blind to see it' Kym Sims, 'I'm not missing you' Stacie Oricco, 'What doesn't kill you' Kelly Clarkson, 'Just like a pill' Pink, 'Picture to burn' Taylor Swift, 'I knew you were trouble' Taylor Swift, 'We are never getting back together' Taylor Swift, 'A little bit stronger' Sara Evans.

Good Luck - Basement Jaxx
The One - Foo Fighters

Cringe but Becoyne Irreplaceable.

Love Basement Jaxx - forgot about that one - 'good luck, good luck, good luck in your new head. Enjoy your nightmares honey when you're resting your head'
