AnDrewL Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Hi. Whenever I'm in whatever type of situation, that involves some strong feelings; I listen to a lot of music .. I use music as a way of helping me through either some rough or good times.. or whatever! To enhance feelings; or help them go away.. At least for me, music is in a strong way connected to the feelings I have. So what I was wondering was .. Does anyone have any good lovesongs to recommend? I'm a bit heartbroken; so if you know some songs about being that; or just some SAD lovetunes with a nice ring to it .. Would you please post the name of the song, and artist here? SAD is the key word. I'm putting together a CD .. "Down" -What can fit that description? Link to comment
musicchicus Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Oh, my God! My subject! I don't know what kind of music you like...I tend to like lots of stuff. But you want broken heart songs...try Country (not cheesy twangy country, newer pop country). How about Jo Dee Messina's "I Wish": It's not easy saying this to you It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do But boy before you go I want you to know I wish you strength when times are hard Oh I wish with all my heart you find what you're looking for I wish you joy, I wish you peace And that every star you see's within your reach And I wish you still loved me I wish that things were different you know that But still I'm happy for the time we had You mean the world to me Baby please believe I wish you strength when times are hard... Or Lonestar's "Smile": I still remember the night we met You said you loved my smile But your love for me was like a summer breeze Oh, it lasted for a while I could hold on a little tighter I know But when you love someone you gotta let 'em go, so... I'm gonna smile 'Cause I want to make you happy Laugh, so you can't see me cry I'm gonna let you go in style And even if it kills me I'm gonna smile.... I could go on forever!!!!!!! Link to comment
punkrawker359 Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 as u could probly tell from my screenname thing, i'm into punk n emo and all that junk. the "band" that i think has the best slow, love sappy kinda songs (THAT ROCK) is by far Dashboard Confessional. if ur willing to buy a cd by him, then go with the mtv unplugged one, which is what i got. very good stuff. the last two tracks "Again I Go Unnoticed" and "Hands Down". the first is about being denied love, and the second is about his best date, both very good. then there's always the classic "Screaming Infedilities". just search around the internet for what ur into, u'll find something that u dig. wish ya the best a luck findin what u want man. lAtER \Punkrawker/ Link to comment
musicchicus Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Ah, didn't even note that. Sorry! Can't help you there. What about REM everybody hurts, thats always a good stand by. Link to comment
AnDrewL Posted July 22, 2003 Author Share Posted July 22, 2003 Didn't note what? REM - Everybody Hurts The girl who broke my hearts favourite song actually .. It was one of my favourites too, but I don't know! Good song though. That's the kind of songs I'm looking for! Something soft and sad .. Soft rockish; old classics? Sumptin! Link to comment
Sholder Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Music! Yes, that's my thing. I can relate, I get the same effect from listening to it as you. I've been putting together some songs for myself to get over my ex. I'll leave you a quick list of what's been the best for me. Jeff Buckley 'Last Goodbye' Ben Harper 'Another Lonely Day' Blues Traveler 'Alone' Elliot Smith 'Needle in the Hay' or 'Southern Belle' or 'Everything Reminds me of Her' Beck 'Guess I'm Doin Fine' Led Zeppelin 'Goin to California' Pete Yorn 'Easy' Ben Folds 'Gone' Bob Dylan 'Most of the Time' Travis 'Why Does it Always Rain on Me' John Wesley Harding 'I'm Wrong About Everything' Hope that helps. I've got more too, if you're interested. Link to comment
foreverurz23 Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 well if you are down, i dont know if this will help any but i am totaly into country, i was thinking maybe "call someone who cares", "i just wanted you to know" or 'wild horses by garth brooks' good luck and hope this helps ~foreverurz23~ Link to comment
alwaysafraid Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Cher is great If I could turn back time, Strong enough, Believe also Matchbox 20 has a few good ones too like Push and the new one, I'm not crazy (not sure of the title) There are a lot of chick songs Gloria Gaynor I will Survive Anything by Sheryl Crow or Patsy Cline Sister Hazel- Your Winter Joan Armatrading- The Weakness in me My Favorite Is Billy Joel- And so it goes In every heart there is a room a sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past until a new one comes along I spoke to you in cautious tone You answered me with no pretense And still I feel I said too much My silence is my self-defense And everytime I've held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns And so it goes and so it goes And so will you soon I suppose But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break And this is why my eyes are closed Its just as well for all I've seen And so it goes and so it goes And you're the only one who knows So I would choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break And so it goes and so it goes and your the only one who knows Link to comment

loner82 Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Personally I would recommend Jeff Buckley's album "Grace", there is so much longing in that record, that album has gotten me through many lonely nights. I personally like the tracks "Mojo Pin", "So Real" and my favorite "Lover, you should've come over". other favorites: Elvis Costello - Almost Blue Foo Fighters - Walking After You Incubus - I miss you The Smiths - I know it's over Nico - These Days Tim Buckley - Once I Was (oh! this song always manages to bring me to tears.) Blur - No distance left to run Joni Mitchell - A case of you Duran Duran - Ordinary World Joy Division - Love will tear us apart The Doors - The End The Verve - So Sister, The Drugs Don't Work, Sonnet, Space and Time Wilco - I must be high, I Thought I Held You, Should've been in love I have more but it would take me all night!

mikeyc Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Why don't you try: Led Zep - 10 Years Gone The Goo Goo Dolls - Iris Sarah Mclachlan - Angel Macy Gray - I Try (this was the song that another one of my ex girlfriends used to listen to when I split up with her. Makes me feel very guilty now I now how it feels) Pearl Jam - Release Link to comment

mjones.uk Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Its got to be almost anything by Brian McKnight One Last Cry My shattered dreams and broken heart Are mending on the shelf I saw you holding hands Standing close to someone else Now I sit all alone Wishing all my feelings was gone I gave my best to you Nothing for me to do But have one last cry [Chorus One last cry Before I leave it all behind I gotta put you out of my mind this time Stop living a lie I guess I'm down to my last cry Cry..... I was here You were there Guess we never could agree While the sun shines on you I need some love to rain on me Still I sit all alone Wishing all my feelings was gone Gotta get over you Nothing for me to do But have one last cry [Chorus One last cry Before I leave it all behind I goota put you out of my mind For the very last time Been living a lie I guess I'm down, I guess I'm down I guess I'm down... I guess I'm down...on ma knees suckin your dick nigga plz To my last cry... 6,8,12 Ooh, ooh Do you ever think about me? Do you ever cry yourself to sleep? In the middle of the night when you're awake, Are you calling out for me? Do you ever reminisce? I can't believe in nothing like this I know it's crazy How I still can feel your kiss [1] - It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours Since you went away I miss you so much and I don't know what to say I should be over you I should know better but it's just not the case It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours Since you went away Do you ever ask about me? Do your friends still tell you what to do? Every time the phone rings, Do you wish it was me calling you? Do you still feel the same? Or has time put out the flame? I miss you Is everything okay? [Repeat 1] It's hard enough just passing the time When I can't seem to get you off my mind And where is the good in goodbye? Tell me why, tell me why [Repeat 1] Link to comment
