Songs to be strong

[PinkLady1979]

Have just walked away from a relationship that I needed to end, for my own well-being. My decision but I am determined to stick to it and I am going to need to keep very busy and strong. I know I am doing the right thing.

I am in real need of songs to give me strength. Ones that are of the “f*ck you” vibe or “your loss” theme. The ones I currently have on repeat are “Strong Enough” Cher, “Believe” Cher, “I will Survive” Gloria Gaynor.

I also need songs for me to have a good sob to as even though I am doing the right thing, I am so sad, I really loved him. So any break up songs to bawl to please too so I can get that out of my system and then move on. I have “who Knew” Pink and “it must have been love” Roxette and “out of reach” Gabrielle.

please give me inspiration.

Thanks 😢

Flowers by Miley Cyrus best break up song ever imho

CMAT, Stay for something 😘

Second Flowers, but also I Am Woman by Helen Reddy.

And for an absolute bawler- Nothing Compares To You Sinead O’Connnor

The winner takes it all by ABBA..... guaranteed to make me cry. It started with a kiss by hot chocolate. My fuck you song?? So what by pink 🩷

Cranes in the Sky by Solange Knowles.

Gentler (no revenge/hard feelings), but great lyrics about a split... showing my age now 😂

Love Miley Cyrus "Flowers" too if you're in the mood for GGAAAAAAHHH FUCK THAT BASTARD!!!

You'd been dreaming away
But it's time to leave love
I'm finally gone
Oh, but don't get me wrong

And I'm drifting away...
and the years we thought would never end, let's pray they'll come again

Well, after all this time it took for us to grow
There's no sign of love right now, you know

So you walk your way
Let me walk mine
You walk your way
Let me walk mine

'Cos I'm used to planning my days
But it's time I stopped including you...
Oh, won't you be blue

'Cos although I'm walking away
There's just one wish in mind: to meet again...
And we will, my friend

After all this time it took for us to grow
There's no love between us, girl, you know

So you walk your way
Let me walk mine
You walk your way
And I'll walk mine
[repeat]

And we'll meet again!
We will, my friend.
And things will be much better then.

You walk your way
Let me walk mine...
[repeat]

Well done - you are epic and strong and brave and brilliant. Just in case no one told you today.

I’m here for the righteous anger:

Weak by Skunk Anansie
Song for the Dumped by Ben Folds Five
You Will See Me by Scroobius Pip (funnily enough I was listening to this today)

The whole Jagged Little Pill album from Alanis Morrisette is what you need.

Also recommend Luv Song by Jane Jensen.
If you watched The Good Wife you may remember this is the song which played whilst Kalinda smashed up Blake’s car with a baseball bat.
Hugely satisfying!

I’m still standing - Elton John is my fav , sending hugs too x

I never really loved you anyway - the corrs

kiss the rain - billie
to the moon and back - savage garden

Fight Song - Rachel Platten

Tina Turner, when the heartache is over (a strong, inspirational woman!)

Genesis, In too deep
Genesis, throwing it all away
Air supply, all out of love
(these are sad if you need a good cry)

Don't think twice, it's alright - Bob Dylan. A bit sad but also a bit defiant

I was just about to add this one - good level of contempt for the ex as well

Smile lily Allen

Thought of another one

My Silver Lining by First Aid Kit

Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime , The Korgis. A good cry but oddly consoling too?

For well fuck it anyway I like Already Gone by the Eagles and Gonna get along without you now by various artists.

Kelis - I hate you so much right now

Yes by McAlmont and Butler. The supreme fuck you song.

I absolutely love Genesis - In too deep 🙏

London Grammar - ' Strong' is beautiful OP.

I love the story of Tina Turner. A bitch of a mum then her husband to contend with. Very inspirational woman.

Yesssss

"Life's what you make it" Talk Talk 💪🏻☺️
