Stella Sleepwalks Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 We all have "our song" and the "break-up song".... We all need a "healing song". I have been listening to a lot of female soul and jazz singers since the break-up, my favourites being Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone. My favourite healing song is "Baby Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood": Baby you understand me now If sometimes you see I'm mad Doncha know that no one alive can always be an angel? When everything goes wrong you see some bad Well I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Ya know sometimes baby I'm so carefree with a joy that's hard to hide Then sometimes it seems again that all I have is worry And then you bound to see my other side But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood If I seem edgy I want you to know I never meant to take it out on you Life has its problems and I get more than my share but that's me one thing I never mean to do Cos I love you Oh baby I'm just human Don't you know I have faults like anyone? Sometimes I find myself alone regretting some little foolish thing some simple thing that I've done I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood I try so hard So don't let me be misunderstood My ex expected me to be perfect 100% of the time, and I fell off the pedistal is spectacular fashion! I think this song represents how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
law1204 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Mine has always been Toni Braxton, "Let It Flow". First thing early Monday morning I'm gonna pack my tears away Got no cause to look back I'm lookin' for me a better day You see the thing 'bout love Is that it's not enough If the only thing it brings you is pain There comes a time when we could all make a change Just let go And let it flow, let it flow, let it flow Everything's gonna work out right, ya know Let go, and let it flow, let it flow, let it flow Just let go Don't nobody want no broken heart And don't nobody want no two time losers Ain't nobody gonna love you like you are If you take whatever he brings your way You see the thing of it Is we deserve respect But we can't demand respect without change There comes a time when we must go our own way Just let go And let it glow, let it flow, let it flow Everything's gonna work out right, y'know Let go, let it flow, let it flow, let it flow Just let go Sometimes love it can work out right Sometimes you'll never know But if it brings only pain in your life Don't be afraid to let it go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I am a revenant by the distillers Another year has passed and I'm alright I lick the salt from my wounds and run into the night Well it's unknown Why collusion goes on It rapes like betrayal And I am rotting in the squalor of some Do you remember the rage? I remember the hate I remember that it rained for years And the blood had left a stain hey! You say I got karma to collect I dig my grave And I'm here waiting for some kind of check And if I get one, I'll hold my breath I rack my spine It takes a year for you to warrant a test As the years go by I won't cry It's the year you walked into my life I will despise We are the revenants Whoa, we will rise up from the dead We become the living We've come back to reclaim our stolen breath [Repeat 6x] Another year has passed and I'm alright I lick the salt from my wounds and run into the night Run into the night Run into the night Run into the night Run into the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcadefire Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 The Animals originally made Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, but I'm glad you found that awesome song through some amazing jazz singers of all time. Just ignore me, I'm a huge rock music fanatic. One song that has helped me cope was Oasis - Let there be love. Who kicked a hole in the sky So the heavens would cry over me? Who stole the soul from the sun In a world come undone at the seams? I hope the weather is calm As you sail up your heavenly stream Suspended clear in the sky Are the words that we sing in our dreams Let there be love Let there be love C'mon baby blue Shake up your tired eyes The world is waiting for you May all your dreaming fill the empty sky But if it makes you happy Keep on clapping Just remember I'll be by your side And if you don't let go it's gonna pass you by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadtoRecovery Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Always on Your Side: Cheryl Crow and Sting My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away But every now and then you come to mind Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game But when your name was called, you found a place to hide When you knew that I was always on your side Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent But my demons and my angels reappeared Leavin' only traces of the man you thought I'd be To afraid to hear the words I'd always feel Leavin' you with all the questions all these years Is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally This isn't how it's really meant to be No, it isn't how it's really meant to be Well they say that love is in the air, but never is it clear, How to pull it close and make it stay Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away And I'm left to carry on and wonder why Even through it all, I'm always on your side Is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear Or are we left to wonder, all alone, eternally But is this how it's really meant to be? no, this isn't how it's really meant to be Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear How to pull it close and make it stay Butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away, Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why Was it you that kept me wandering through this life When you know that I was always on your side?

DeviousDevil Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 One of the songs I played alot of when my fiance ended things with me. "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead" by Stars (a Canadian band) God that was strange to see you again Introduced by a friend of a friend Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before' In that instant it started to pour, Captured a taxi despite all the rain We drove in silence accross Pont Champlain And all of the time you thought I was sad I was trying to remember your name... This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in Now you're outside me You see all the beauty Repent all your sin It's nothing but time and a face that you lose I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose I'll write you a postcard I'll send you the news From a house down the road from real love... Live through this, and you won't look back... Live through this, and you won't look back... Live through this, and you won't look back... There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave You were what I wanted I gave what I gave I'm not sorry I met you I'm not sorry it's over I'm not sorry there's nothing to save I'm not sorry there's nothing to save... The irony is, my new girlfriend is Canadian, just like the band... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandj Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 You were so blind to let me go You had it all but did not know No one you'll find will ever be Closer to all your dreams than me Believing the grass would be greener You told yourself "I just don't need her now" But I know you'll soon discover You're never satisfied with any other Chorus: Someday Oo Someday One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for Someday hey hey Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score You'll change your mind and call my name Soon as you find they're all the same And when you find yourself alone Don't come back crying You should have known Believe me I'm not pretending It's not hard to predict This ending now 'Cause I know you'll soon discover You're needing me in spite of all the others Chorus x2 Maybe now you just can't conceive That there'll ever come a time when you're cold and lonely Baby, how could you ever believe That another could replace me The one and only But when your down In your time of need And you're thinking that you Might be coming back to own me Just think again 'cause I won't need your love anymore!

brian123 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Sixx Life Is Beautiful You can’t quit until you try You can’t live until you die You can’t learn to tell the truth Until you learn to lie You can’t breathe until you choke You gotta laugh when you’re the joke There’s nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive Just open your eyes Just open your eyes And see that life is beautiful. Will you swear on your life, That no one will cry at my funeral? I know some things that you don’t I’ve done things that you won’t There’s nothing like a trailer park to find your way back home I was waiting for my hearse What came next was so much worse It took a funeral to make me feel alive Just open your eyes Just open your eyes And see that life is beautiful. Will you swear on your life, That no one will cry at my funeral? Just open your eyes Just open your eyes And see that life is beautiful. Will you swear on your life, That no one will cry at my funeral? Just open your eyes Just open your eyes And see that life is beautiful. Will you swear on your life, That no one will cry at my funeral? Just open your eyes Just open your eyes And see that life is beautiful.

imsoalive Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Boyz II Men - Doin' Just Fine Album - Evolution(1997) There was a time when I thought life was over and out When you went away from me My dying heart made it hard to breathe Would sit in my room Because I didn't want to Have to go out And see you walking by One look and I'd break right down and cry Now you say that you made a big mistake Never meant to take your love away But you can save your tired apologies 'Cause it may seem hard to believe, but Chorus: I'm doin' just fine Getting along very well Without you in my life I don't need you in my life I'm doin' just fine Time made me stronger You're no longer on my mind You were my earth My number one priority I gave my love to only you Anything you'd ask of me I would do But somewhere down the road You felt a change in the weather and told me that you had to journey on A kiss in the wind and your love was gone Now you say you never meant to play your games Girl don't you know it's far too late Because you let our love just fall apart You no longer have my heart Chorus When you said goodbye I felt so all alone There were times at night I couldn't sleep My heart was much to weak to make it on my own Baby after all the misery And pain you put me through So unfair to me girl You're no longer my world and I ain't missin' you at all Chorus See baby when you walked away You didn't think it would end up this way But I knew you'd come around someday Just as sure as my name is Wanya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riley123 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Ray Lamontagne - Gone Away From Me For a while I sat there staring at her photograph For a while I cried and tried not to make a scene There was a time when we were young I used to make her laugh But life is long, my love has gone away from me Gone away from me Gone away from me Life is long, my love has gone away from me Gone away from me Gone away from me Life is long, my love has gone away from me Lately I can't seem to find myself no sleep at all Lately I just lie awake and hear and dream Of the time when she was mine Felt like I had it all But life is long, my love has gone away from me Gone away from me Gone away from me Life is long, my love has gone away from me Gone away from me Gone away from me Life is long, my love has gone away from me Yesterday is gone Yesterday is dead Get it through your head and walk away Yesterday is gone Ain't no use hanging on to her memory It only causes you pain For a while I sat there staring at her photograph For a while I cried and tried not to make a scene There was a time when we were young I used to make her laugh But life is long, my love has gone away from me Gone away from me Gone away from me Life is long, my love has gone away from me Gone away from me Gone away from me Life is long, my love has gone away from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyNifer Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I have listened to this quite a lot lately. Leona Lewis "Better In Time" It's been the longest winter without you I didn't know where to turn to See somehow I can't forget you After all that we've been through Go in, come in, thought I heard a knock Who's there? No one, thinking that I deserved it Now I realize that I really didn't know You didn't notice, you mean everything Quickly I'm learning to love again All I know is, I'ma be okay Thought I couldn't live without you It's gonna hurt when it heals too, oh yeah (It'll all get better in time) Even though I really loved you I'm gonna smile 'cause I deserve to (It'll all get better in time) How could I turn on the TV Without something there to remind me? Was it all that easy To just put aside your feelings? If I'm dreaming, don't wanna let, hurt my feelings But that's the path, I believe in And I know that, time will heal it You didn't notice, you mean everything [ Better In Time lyrics found on link removed ] Quickly I'm learning to love again All I know is, I'ma be okay Thought I couldn't live without you It's gonna hurt when it heals too, oh yeah (It'll all get better in time) Even though I really loved you I'm gonna smile 'cause I deserve to (It'll all get better in time) Since there's no more you and me It's time I let you go so I can be free And live my life how it should be No matter how hard it is, I'll be fine without you Yes, I will Thought I couldn't live without you It's gonna hurt when it heals too, oh (It'll all get better in time) Even though I really loved you I'm gonna smile 'cause I deserve to, yes, I do (It'll all get better in time) Thought I couldn't live without you It's gonna hurt when it heals too, yeah (It'll all get better in time) And even though I really loved you I'm gonna smile 'cause I deserve to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
