I remember playing Sonne, Feuer Frei and Ich Will by Rammstein a lot- loud and joyously aggressive My playlist also had:
Roses in the Hospital by Manic Street Preachers (‘We don’t want your fucking love!’)
Stay Beautiful by Manic Street Preachers.
This is the Day by The The - I also played it loudly over and over when I left a toxic job.
Five Miles Out by Mike Oldfield-I’ve always found it so symbolic- a pilot trapped in a storm finding his way safely back to the ones he loves.
The two Manics songs have choruses you can sing loudly to- lots of ‘fuck you’ lyrics.
I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor
Kick Over the Statues by the Redskins
Stayin Alive by the Bee Gees
And every song I loved, but ‘we’ didn’t like. I had a Bose speaker for the iPod and I played the list at maximum volume. I had every window open, I’d been out and bought new bed linens, emptied the fridge and freezer of the stuff ‘we’ liked, and stocked it with what the children and I liked, I carefully packed all her stuff, put it in the big cupboard, and cleaned the house from top to bottom while the children were at school.
