Songs to be strong

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 😢

Mr Know It All by Kelly Clarkson
Got me through my last really bad break up.
Also the words of my late, wonderful dad….
I never liked him, Peggy he was a dickhead. He also had little legs, teeth like broken biscuits, and he looked like Harry Hill.
It passes.
If I play that song now I think thank God it ended, he was insufferable.
I can remember him telling his two young daughters once that Jesus never existed so Christmas was a lie. They were 5 and 7.
His opinions were just boring and went on forever. Somewhere he’s lecturing someone about the boats, Gaza, the list will be endless….

That’s a tune. The video is immense.
Whitney in her black leather Dolce and Gabbana dress.
I had it on a Now album cassette - can’t remember what number - and played it to death.
