Did you have a break-up song? (lighthearted)

[dinoswore]

Because I think mine just became Madonna's Borderline

Having had a very difficult convo with STBXH about our non existent future, I got in the car to drive home (we are already separated). Put the radio on and the above teeny 80's pop classic blasted out. And I sang out every word along with it, with feeling.

keep pushin' my love ...

Mine is All In Vain by The Vaccines. When I have bad days I like to play it nice and loud on my ipod.

'No, you can't hold a gun to my head
Because baby, I would just refuse'

Love marina and the diamonds marmalade

No More Drama - Mary J Blige

bad news fizzy fuzzy - but GREAT song

Linden Arden Stole the Highlights by Van Morrison. I bought this after leaving XH - feeling fragile and could only cope with very gentle sounds played very quietly - also it was amazing not to have my living space filled with his music and noise all the time. Then I started listening to the lyrics... reminded me of what I'd done to him - suitably bleak. Strange listening to it now all these years later.

Remember hearing Queen's 'I want to break free' playing in the airport toilets and thinking YES, that's how I feel!

Against all Odds - Phil Collins

Finish Line - Yasmin
The Love I Lost - Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes. ( I remember weeping buckets a this. Didn't even have a boyfriend!!!)

Long time ago now but Stop by Sam Brown. Still well up now, nearly 26 yrs later, despite being happily married. Word for word, it summed up everything.

I had a hymn, which is most peculiar as I am not at all religious. Dear Lord and Father of Mankind has a verse about remaining serene whilst earthquake, wind and fire surrounds you. It ends with the phrase still, small voice of calm. I used to walk around muttering still small voice of calm, still small voice of calm to myself when XH was being especially infuriating.

I listened to this for ages..

It's been a long time (8 years).
I still remember the silent crying, the weight loss and sleepless nights.
I mourned all that I believed we would be, all that he wanted with someone else.

Anyway to end on a positive note....I like to think that when I'm ready I'll meet the right person

I never really loved you anyway by The Corrs.......

You bored me with your stories
I can't believe that I endured you for as long as I did
I'm happy it's over, I'm only sorry
That I didn't make the move before you

Jason Derulo riding solo really helped me through a tough breakup :) i'd listen to it everytime i felt down and always picked up my mood

fontella you are obviously an oldie too! I cried my eyes out to that Eagles track. Also to Phil Collins, If leaving me is easy

The Winner Takes it All...Abba
Knowing Me, Knowing You...Abba
Another Suitcase in Another Hall...Barbara Dixon
