I was thinking about how to structure the amount of songs we listen through a break up process, yeah, we keep them on our mp3players to the office, to the gym, to grocery stores, in the car, just everywhere with us.

Some of us we will try to avoid some sort of music that remainds our lost partner, some others will try to listen to them until our eyes runs out off tears (could be therapeutic). Some of us will try to listen songs with some motivational content, etc.

I want to pass through the hall process, that´s why the Group Part 1 of songs are for trying to rip it off that pain from our chest, and yes maybe cry, maybe feel anger, maybe want some sweet revenge (just keep it as therapeutic form to move on not in other way of revenge please), maybe others for forgive them for the pain they made us, etc..

The Group Part 2 it would be for songs to overpower our lessons learnt, to put our feet on the ground again well recovered, to support our self-esteem, to raise again...

Feel free to add your songs, and to comment any of them, maybe this would become a STICKY for everyone :)

One the other hand, there is this:

I will watch you in the darkness
Show you love will see you through
When the bad dreams wake you crying
I'll show you all love can do
All love can do

I will watch through the night
Hold you in my arms
Give you dreams where love will be
I will watch through the dark
'Til the morning comes
All the light I'll take you through the night to see
A light showing us all love can be

I will guard you with my bright wings
Stay 'til your heart learns to see

Hurt- Johnny Cash
I still miss someone- Johnny Cash

Stone Sour:

Through Glass

I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh, god it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home sitting all alone inside your head

How do you feel? That is the question
But I forget.. you don't expect an easy answer
When something like a soul becomes
Initialized and folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You can't expect a bit of hope
So while you're outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what you're staring at is me

Cause I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head

How much is real? So much to question
An epidemic of the mannequins
Contaminating everything
When thought came from the heart
It never did right from the start
Just listen to the noises
(Null and void instead of voices)
Before you tell yourself
It's just a different scene
Remember it's just different from what you've seen

I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head

And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That shine for you
And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That lie to you.. yeah-ah

I just watched 10 Things on Monday night...

Lindsay Lohan (gasp) actually did an OK job with it... but the 10 Things version is awesome.

Was listening to an oldies station today and heard this

"I will survive" :)

Stand - Rascal Flatts It's been on my car stereo LOUD and on repeat...

You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be all right

[Chorus:]
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand, Then you stand
Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on

[Chorus]

Every time you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place

[Chorus]

Anything as long as its REALLY REALLY LOUD
Dolly parton is quite high on the list

I haven't really been listening to the radio or music in general since the break up. He was pretty big into music and I knew so many songs would just remind me of him. Love songs would make me cry. But the other day I turned it on and they were playing "suddenly I see" by KT Tunstall. I turned up the volume and just started singing along. I need those sort of "independent woman" type of songs... they just pump me up and make me feel stronger. Hell, I even found myself singing that Britney Spears song "stronger" the other day. Have't heard that song in ages.
