Hello brothers, sisters, hipsters and flipsters, android warriors, Pervy uncles, secret lovers and gay best friends.
A thought occurred to me a moment ago whilst replying to Erika's thread. It's happened to us all at some point, you break up with someone and then you over-listen to a song that either reflects your mood or pumps you up enough to face a day, thus ruining this song for a while at least. Know what i'm talking about? Anyway to the point- What songs do you find it- A. hard to listen to, B. commemorative of, C. is getting you through- breaking up with a significant other. Throw shapes not grenades. Your old pal Mat xx |

I've never had a break-up. So I don't know. I have whole bunches of good songs that remind me of him and make me smile.
But there was a song that I kept hearing right after we had to put my dog to sleep this summer, and it makes me very sad. |

Had the same thing happen with me, libra. Years back I had to take my dog to the vet to be put down (16 years together). After it was over I went out the back door because I couldn't keep myself together and didn't want to face people. So I get in my car, start it up and the Donna Lewis song "I love you always forever" comes on. To this day every time I hear that song it instantly takes me back to that sad day, and memories of Kolya. |

Miracle by Vertical Horizon - could not listen to this without weeping for six weeks after I had a falling out with my best male friend.
Colors of the Heart by Uverworld - always pumps me up and makes me feel optimistic, whatever the circumstances. |

hard to listen to:
all i want is you - u2 shooting star - dylan commemorative: all i really wanna do - dylan everything in its right place - radiohead gets me through: colorblind - counting crows (yeah, i like a good wallow....) to psyche me up: anything upbeat by the chili peppers or hilltop hoods. (man, i am seriously digging the hilltops. its like they're paying me to plug them on international forums. please, believe me, they're not paying me. if they were, i could probably afford to eat this week. argh) |

Songs that get me down:
Ok you will probably not have heard of any of these, since they're all in spanish (none of my ex's speak english) but -Any- song by Luis Miguel "Algo Mas" by La Quinta Estacion "Sexo, pudor y Lagrimas" by Aleks Syntek And one in English: "You oughta know" by Alanis Morissette Songs that got me through a hard breakup: "I will survive" by Gloria Gaynor "Si la ves" by Franco de Vita Songs that make me happy: Ok, the first one of these is really corny, and if you make fun of me, I'll keel ya! "Walkin' on sunshine" "No rain" by Blind Melon Songs that pump me up: "I'm only happy when it rains" by Garbage "When I grow up" by Garbage "Seether" by Veruca Salt "Volcano Girls" by Veruca Salt and oh yeah, any other cool song by chick groups |
