I need uplifting not maudlin!
I have Katy Perry and Gloria gaynor - what else do I need for my playlist?

Another few Taylor swift recommendations... Dear John (if he's a gas lighting prick) and clean.

She gets criticism for writing about her exes, but they are beautiful songs.

The modern version of, 'Valerie' with all those synths in it.

When you were mine - Cyndi Lauper
(When you were mine, I gave you all of my money. Time after time, you did me wrong.)

Learning How To Fall - not sure who by. But, it's my, 'I accept it's over' song.

For some reason Knowing Me, Knowing You by ABBA made me feel much better after a break up 😂 Probably because it's so upbeat.

I loved listening to anything that was not related to soppy love songs
Dire Straits Sultans of Swing
Chris Rea - Road to Hell
Neil Diamond - Beautiful Noise
Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World
Brian Ferry Roxy Music - Virginia plain
Also listening to loads of Dance remixes by DJ Regard, Kygo and various others...totally took me out of my head and back to Ibiza where I had been on holiday for the first time by myself and had the best time ever at age 40...that was over 20years ago now!...but it worked.

CaptainJaneway62 · 01/08/2019 22:34

**sorry should have said it worked for me a few years ago!

To take a chance on life again,
