moimeme Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I'm going to disagree with all of that Gloria Gaynor crap in the end, all about saying: yeah, this thing or time in my life sucked, but I made it through and I'm still here to sing about it... Um. That is EXACTLY the message of Gaynor's "I Will Survive" Link to post Share on other sites
Dixiecron Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I -knew- someone was going to come after me for saying that Yeah, I know, I've heard that song a million times myself. But I figure if you're going to get over a tough situation, you might as well expand your CD collection and music tastes in the meantime. How many movies and TV shows have the crying woman listening to "I Will Survive"? Its a cliche. Just like the movies that have the guy's buddies saying "We'll just go to a strip club and a lap dance will make you feel all better". That's why I made the heavy metal joke to start with... With my method, Sarah can not only find some good breakup music, she can also work on music conversation starters with new guys once she's ready to get back out there.

Oh, fine. Make a good point if you must I used to like putting on Dark Side of the Moon and singing along to the woman featured in The Great Gig in the Sky. To me, that's pretty much the epitome of grief expressed and then purged. I never did think it was what other folks thought it was supposed to be LOL. Link to post Share on other sites
Dixiecron Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 moimeme, <putting flame suit on> I'm always right so just accept it <flame suit off> "Echoes" always does it for me. I've got that CD all set to go for the next time I get some free time to stay up all night and watch the sunrise. In the meantime "Set the controls for the Heart of the Sun" does the trick. I just love that title and line from the song. Says so much about how to get where you want to go, even if you end up somewhere you were not expecting to be... Sarah, Best of luck in your selection of tunes... Link to post Share on other sites
sinkerswim Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Last night I bought John Mayers newer CD "Heavier Things" Great, great CD. 2 of my favorite songs are Clarity and Somethings Missing. Something about this CD that makes me feel better for some reason. Its soothing. Evanescence...I also like listening to Its My Life by No Doubt. Great song! Link to post Share on other sites
Evanescence Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Well the ex called today. He pretty much called and said that he is finished. He doesn't want to see what else is out there. He said it is either this girl or me. He said a lot of other **** like if he decides that he wants to be with me, he is going to do everything in his power to get me back, he doesn't care what he has to do. So i said good, cuz he'll have to do a lot. He said a lot of crap. I have to try really hard right now to not get that hope back cuz i don't want it! Anyway, when he called he said that he heard a song on the radio that made him think of me, and he wanted me to download it and listen to it. It's Sheryl Crow's "the first cut is the deepest". It's a good song actually. I recommend it. Link to post Share on other sites
shellen Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Hi everyone, hope you guys dun mind me joining in this discussion. Ive just been looking through a few threads and the more i read the more i think what is wrong with these guys. They break up with you but tell u they still like you and they get jealous when you date other guys when they themselves already have a new girlfriend. And since they still like you and get jealous over you they do not want to break off with their current gfs to be with you. And they will say things like if we are fated to be together we will get back together. What do they want? Ive broken up with my ex for nine months and until today I have yet to have the courage to cut him off completely from my life.I have tried asking him back and endured the pain and jealousy of having to play second fiddle to his new gf but he told me he wanted to go with the flow..basically to leave everything to fate.But he tells me he still likes me and gets overly concerned whenever I go out, wanting to know if there are guys around.But I told him off for it recently, told him that if he does not want to get back with me then dun be such a busy body, plus he already has a new gf. Everytime when I make up my mind to ignore him for good, after a few msges and phone calls I will give in and reply him. And things will go on well for a while then he ignore me suddenly and Ill be made upset all over again. He ignores me for a lot of reasons, like when he is in bad mood because he feels bad for letting me down or his gf is around. Like is my fault that he let me down.I have been through this viscious cycle so many times and I still allow myself to get trapped in it again and again. sometimes i get pissed off at myself. I dunno if I still love him as much as i did before because he has hurt me so bad in these past nine months and it kinds of kill the love bit my bit. And I totally understand the somedays you feel you're over him but sometimes you get plunged back into tis abyss of depression again feeling. been through it in fact now I still am goin through, jus less intense.And sometimes u feel like u reallie hate him, how can he break your heart lidat and still find a new love so easily.and all these while when u are still grappling for your dear life, he is in the company of some other girl, irks me sooooo much. Anyway I wish all you best of luck on your road to recovery Link to post Share on other sites
