After a breakup, I tend to put Cake's cover of "I Will Survive" on repeat and play it until my fingers are numb. This is just the normal routine now. I guess the perfectly balanced lyrics and repetitive, pumping bassline just sooth the soul. Does anyone else seek refuge in a particular song, or is that just me?

I rather turn that energy into something useful than just sit around and feel pitiful for myself. Usually after lifting weights I`m on my 'high' so crap like that doesn`t seem like a big deal, and plus I feel sexier and ready for the next woman to come in my life to break my heart  |

Heavy rotation included:
"After All This Time" by Rodney Crowell. Has the best line about a failed relationship ever where he says "There were ways I should have thrilled you, there days when I could have killed you."
"Makes No Difference" by Robbie Robertson, recorded by The Band
"Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad" by Bobbie Whitlock and Eric Clapton, recorded by Derek & The Dominoes.

| | Banned | | Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: New York City | | | I wouldn't say I have a breakup song, but there are two songs that occasionally remind me of particular breakups:
"Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" by Crosby, Stills & Nash somehow got associated with my first "real" girlfriend in high school...and the subsequent inevitable breakup when I moved 200 miles away to go to college. No drama, all very rationally handled by both parties, I was bummed for about three weeks and then I fell in love with what became my first real "real" girlfriend. But for those three weeks "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" just made me think of what could have been.
And then when I was, um, 22 I think, after a traumatic (and, in hindsight, really foolishly dysfunctionally handled) breakup with my second real "real" girlfriend, I found that I could not listen to Michael Jackson's "She's Out Of My Life" without feeling on the verge of tears. That lasted a lot longer than three weeks; more like 15 months I think.
I can confidently say that if I got divorced tomorrow I would not have a breakup song; there just isn't any music that connects my wife & I like it did with past paramours. We would probably have a breakup movie or a breakup TV show or a breakup cuisine instead! |

In the middle of the night.Thankfully,it only lasted a few months.
