Feeling-better song.

[onlyhuman]

I'm lucky not to go through any heartbreaking, infact life is good to me. But trust me I've been in that ditch, mud, hell etc. more times than I want to remember.

 

One feeling-better song I listened to through those times was by Massive Attack "better things". Here is the lyrics for it:

 

"

"Better Things"

 

[Tracy Thorn]

 

Don't drag me down

Just because you're down

And just cause you're blue

Don't make me too

And though you've found

You need more than me

Don't talk to me

About being free

 

That's freedom without love

And magic without love

Magic without love

 

Hear me say

Better things will surely come our way

Hear me say

Better things will surely come our way

 

You say the magic's gone

Well i'm not a magician

You say the spark's gone

Well get an electrician

And save your line about needing to be free

All that's bull * * * * babe

You just want rid of me

 

You want freedom without love

And magic without love

Magic without love

Yeah

 

Hear me say

Better things will surely come my way

Hear me say

Better things will surely come my way "

 

....

 

Keep on believing in yourself, respect yourself, love yourself.

A favorite of mine is the song "Chains of Love" by the 80's band Erasure...big hair lives baby...together we'll break these chains of love...

[MyEyesHurt]

I don't know how much this applies, but it cheered me up.

"Be alright" by the Untouchables

"It's been a week since you've had a good meal

but still you drink like it's going out of style

It doesn't matter how bad you feel

you're living hard, still you smile

To waste your life is a crying shame

but you only have yourself to blame

Even though you know it's tearing you apart

deap down inside you know in your heart

It will be alright, It will be alright

It will be alright, It will be alright"

I don't know if it's a breakup song per se, but I've been singing along to 'Wake Up' by Coheed and Cambria

[dstanzler]

Bobby Jean - Bruce Springsteen

 

Well I came by your house the other day, your mother said you went away

She said there was nothing that I could have done

There was nothing nobody could say

Me and you we've known each other ever since we were sixteen

I wished I would have known I wished I could have called you

Just to say goodbye bobby jean

 

Now you hung with me when all the others turned away turned up their noise

We liked the same music we liked the same bands we liked the same clothes

We told each other that we were the wildest, the wildest things we'd ever

Seen

Now I wished you would have told me I wished I could have talked to you

Just to say goodbye bobby jean

 

Now we went walking in the rain talking about the pain from the world we hid

Now there ain't nobody nowhere nohow gonna ever understand me the way you did

Maybe you'll be out there on that road somewhere

In some bus or train traveling along

In some motel room there'll be a radio playing

And you'll hear me sing this song

Well if you do you'll know I'm thinking of you and all the miles in between

And I'm just calling one last time not to change your mind

But just to say I miss you baby, good luck goodbye, bobby jean
