Goodbye Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Wow, thanks for posting that. I usually steer clear of country music, just my own issue. But, that was a very moving tribute to the OW for certain. Link to post Share on other sites
chaser0195 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Before I even read the actual post I thought of this song. I love this song but it is kinda depressing at the same time. Holds true though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

grassisorisntgreener Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 That song played when me and my AP were making out once. Awkward... Link to post Share on other sites
LilGirlandOW Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Two songs that make me think of my MM are; Stay by Rihanna and Wicked Games (not sure who sings this but a MUST youtube for all us OW, its totally relatable) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
lilmisscantbewrong Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Dave Matthews and John Mayer and also Bare Naked Ladies, Chris Isaac, Jason Mraz, Eric Clapton, and on and on. Unfortunately because our connection was through music I can't listen to anything (with the exception of maybe classical music - lol) without thinking "xom would love this". I still like my earlier contribution to this thread. Sing it at the top of your lungs! Makes you feel better every time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
fllygirl Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I love UK band "Hurts", it has a lots of beautiful songs, but some of them are kind of depressing..so proceed with caution.. Hurts - Wonderful Life Hurts - Guilt Hurts -affair Hurts -Devotion Medina - "Happening" ( original version Medina - "Kl. 10") Zara Larsson - Uncover Link to post Share on other sites

Author sybo24 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 I will always remember my niece making me listen to this song and saying 'See you have a choice' Thank you Donna it hurts but you are so right. Will spend tonight on Youtube listening to all your suggestions. Another that makes me laugh is Does He Love You by Reba McEntire and Linda Davies. Im not a big lover of country music but it sure as hell says all the right things sometimes. Sometimes a sad song just makes you feel a little better xx 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Pardon_me Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Here is a wonderful song that I think says everything about being an OW.

who_am_i Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Here is a wonderful song that I think says everything about being an OW. Listen to the end hopefully it will give you strength and hope xx Stay by Sugarland I can't listen to this song anymore...i will start bawling every single time when she says, "I've given you my best why does she get the best of you". The other song that KILLS me is Mandolin Rain (Bruce Hornsby). There is a point in the song that says, "I'll do my time, Keeping you off my mind, But there's moments that I find, I'm not feeling so strong"....and then a bit later says..."But, I can't change my mind, Oh I knew all the time that she'd go, But that's a choice I made long ago." There is something about how beautiful the song is and how the words ring so true. It used to be one of my favorites...but I can't hear it anymore without tears. I could list a million more. Then again I've always said that if I was ever famous enough to have a movie made about me it would have to be a musical. I swear there is a soundtrack to my life. Link to post Share on other sites

Author sybo24 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 This song spurred my latest NC attempt, that failed miserably. It has spurred me onto about 3 NC but this last one is not going to fail. We deserve better from the men who are suppose to Love us. xx Link to post Share on other sites
Author sybo24 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 My personal favorite as applies to this situation is Two Black Cadillacs by Carrie Underwood, but I'm a bytch like that. The ending goes like this. But the women in the two black veils they didn’t bother to cry Bye bye, Bye bye Yeah they took turns laying a rose down Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground He’s not the only one who had a secret to hide Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah in my dreams x Link to post Share on other sites

Finally Settled Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The song that tore my heart out when it was released was Need You Now by Lady Antebellum. I sat in a hotel room reading emails she had sent me, at a time in the day we would have normally been talking and it crushed me. Several days ago we were in the car and it played. We both had tears in our eyes, and that familiar emptiness settled with me for several days. I listened to Stay and have to say that is an incredibly sad song. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Oh my goodness YES- I Need You Now can reduce me to a sobbing mess no matter what. Have you heard "Just a Kiss" by Lady Antebellum? Same thing. Okay I need to go do something constructive now to get my mind straight. If you haven't heard I Need You Now...don't do it!!!! LOL. Link to post Share on other sites
Nattie Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Nobody has mentioned the almighty OW anthem... Hinder... lips of an angel. Oy, that one makes me want to crawl under the covers and devour a deep dish pizza or ten. Link to post Share on other sites
Author sybo24 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Not one song. I do not think of exAP when listening to music, I tend to think of my own life and where I am now because of the destructive nature of the affair, will not and refuse to assign songs with emotions in them specifically for an individual who had no regard for my well being. I can only hope and wish that I feel the way you do soon. NC is killing me at the moment. xx Link to post Share on other sites
