| | Best songs for strength and for mourning/painPage 1 of 13 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) | I'm working on putting together two CDs full of music that does 2 opposing things. Any great suggestions for songs would be wonderful (modern or current songs preferred, but certainly share some classics because they're worth it). Some days you need CD 1, and other days CD 2.
CD 1 - this CD has lyrics or music that brings out the tears. It's often all the love songs, the mourning songs, the hearbreak songs (e.g., "Let's Stay Together", "My Immortal" by Evanescence, "When September Ends" Green Day, "I Will Always Love You" Celine Dion, "It's You And Me" the Turtles, "Let's Give It One More Try" Timmy T, "Breakaway" Kelli Clarkson, etc).
CD 2 - this CD is the one that energizes and strengthens the heart, perhaps slamming the other person or giving hope for the future (the classic "I Will Survive" by A. Franklin is tops, "You're Toxic" Brittney Spears, "Mrs. Independent" Kelli Clarkson, etc.).
Thanks! | |

| Best songs for strength and for mourning/pain
Posted: 6/4/2006 8:48:23 PM | | Well The artists that got me throught the hardest times in my life have been Patsy Cline and Frank Senatra. I could'nt tell you which CD to put it on as they can be tear jerkers for some but I found that although they made me cry, in a weird way i felt peacefull at the same time (if that makes any sense). | |

Lyrics for Song: My Give a Damn Is Busted
Lyrics for Album: Delicious Surprise
Well, you filled up my head with so many lies.
You twisted my heart till somethin' snapped inside.
I'd like to give it one more try,
But my give-a-damn's busted.
You can crawl back home, say you were wrong;
Stand out in the yard and cry all night long.
Well, go ahead and water the lawn:
My give-a-damn's busted.
I really wanna care.
I wanna feel somethin'.
Let me dig a little deeper:.
No, sorry: nothin'.
You can say you've got issues, you can say you're a victim.
It's all your parents fault, after all you didn't pick 'em.
Maybe somebody else has got time to listen:
My give-a-damn's busted.
Well, your therapist says it was all a mistake:
A product of the Prozac and your co-dependent ways.
So who's your enabler these days?
My give-a-damn's busted.
I really wanna care.
I wanna feel somethin'.
Let me dig a little deeper:.
No, still nothin'.
It's a desperate situation, no tellin' what you'll do.
If I don't forgive you, you say your life is through.
C'mon, gimme somethin' I can use:
My give-a-damn's busted.
Well, I really wanna care.
I wanna feel somethin'.
Let me dig a little deeper:
No, I'm sorry.
Just nothin', you know.
You've really done it this time, ha, ha.
My give-a-damn's busted.

Posted: 6/6/2006 8:51:54 AM | I can offer only two suggestions.
These have helped me through the worst of times after breaking up.
1st - "Lessons In Love" by Level 42, Album - 1984
2nd - "Slow Emotion Replay" by The The, Album - Dusk
These are really good songs with better messages than most main stream songs you've got listed.
Hope everything goes well | |

Posted: 6/6/2006 9:09:40 AM | How Do You Like Me Now? by Toby Keith isn't about missing someone. It is about a guy who had a thing for a girl as they were growing up and the girl wouldn't give him the time of day. She ends up marrying and living a fairly dull and crappy life while he goes on to become a huge recording star.
The theme is...you wouldn't give me the time of day then, so how do you like me now? Look at your life and look at mine. You coulda had this.
Unless I misread your post and you were referring to the second song as being about missing someone. If that is the case then this whole post was pointless!! | |

Posted: 6/6/2006 11:23:26 AM | How about "independent woman" by destiny's child? I remember when this song came out, i had just broken up with my ex, and i found it so uplifting!
Good luck getting these together! You should send out a list of all the songs you found once done. | |

"Trust" by The Cure off of WISH
There is no one left in the world I can hold on to
There is really no one left at all, there is only you
And if you leave me now you leave all that we were undone
There is really no one left
You are the only one
"The Scientist" by Coldplay
Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Aww take me back to the start
"Best I Ever Had" by Vertical Horizon
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had
"Blue" by Tinmen (that's me circa 1995)
Fear given to me by an ageless hold
Fear, sadder to think that comforts something I'll never know
It consumes my surroundings and strips like disease
My immunity's stolen
I continue to bleed
Blue, the water's chill is ever so blue
"Only You" by Portishead
We suffer everyday
What is it for
These crimes of illusion
Are fooling us all
And now i am weary
And i feel like i do
Its only you
Who can tear me apart
And its only you
Who can turn my wooden heart
The size of our fight
It's just a dream
We've crushed everything
I can see, in this morning selfishly
How we've failed and i feel like i do
Its only you
Who can tear me apart
And its only you
Who can turn my wooden heart
Now that we've chosen to take all we can
This shade of autumn a stale bitter end
Years of frustration lay down side by side
And it's only you
Who can tear me apart
It's only you
Who can turn my wooden heart
"Great Expectations" by Elbow
Spitfire thin and strung like a violin
I was
Yours was the face with a grace
From a different age
You were the sun in my Sunday morning
You were the sun in my Sunday morning
Telling me never to go
So I’ll live on the smile
And move down the isle
Of the last bus home
And if you’re running late
This is where I’ll go
Know I’ll always wait
That's all for now...

Posted: 6/29/2006 7:44:36 PM | hey there!
Well, one thing is for sure, I have the best songs for mourning a broken heart, i played them continuously for about a year.
-Keith Urban "You'll think of me"
-Kelly Clarkson "Because of You"
-Three Days Grace "Gone Forever"
-Evanescence "My Immortal"
-Avril Lavingne "Why"
-3 Doors Down "Here By Me"
But by far the song I listened to almost non-stop is by Evanescence and is called Missing
Please, please forgive me
But I won't be home again
Maybe someday you'll look up
And barely conscious, you'll say to no one
Isn't something missing
You won't cry for my absence I know
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant
Am I so insignificant
Isn't something missing
Isn't someone missing me
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me
Please, please forgive me
But I won't be home again
I know what you do to yourself
I breathe deep and cry out
Isn't something missing
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me
Yeah, its a sad one, but man is it a good one. Anyways, have fun with this, turrah!!

Posted: 6/29/2006 7:51:22 PM | Well I am old so you get a classic, Good for the morning wake-up
Louis Armstrong, What A Wonderful World
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world | |
