jojean Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Why does there seems to be a lot of heartbroken/breakup songs when YOU are broken hearted?? Like for example.. I turn the tv on... first song: Aaliyah - The one I gave my heart to How Could The One I Gave My Heart To, Break My Heart So Bad? How Could The One Who Made Me Happy, Make Me Feel So Sad? Wont Somebody Tell Me? So I Can Understand. If You Love Me, How Could You Hurt Me Like That? How Could The One I Gave My World To, Throw My World Away? How Could The One Who Said I Love You, Say The Things You Say? How Could The One I Was So True Too, Just Tell Me Lies? How Could The One I Gave My Heart To, Break This Heart Of Mine? Tell Me........ How Could You Be So Cold To Me? When I Gave You Everything. All My Love, All I Had Inside. How Could you Just Walk Out The Door? How Could You Not Love Me Anymore? I Thought We Had Forever. I Cant Understand. How Could The One I Shared My Dreams With, Take My Dreams From me? How Could The Love That Brought Such Pleasure, Bring Such Misery? Wont Somebody Tell Me? Somebody Tell Me Please. If You Love Me, How Could You Do That To Me? Tell Me........ second song: Ne-Yo - So Sick Gotta change my answering machine now that I'm alone cause right now it says that we can't come to the phone and I know it makes no sense, cause you walked out that door but it's the only way I hear your voice anymore (it's ridiculous) It's been months And for some reason I just (can't get over us) And I'm stronger than this (enough is enough) No more walkin round with my head down I'm so over being blue, Cryin over you And I'm so sick of love songs So tired of tears So done with wishing you were still here Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow So why can't I turn off the radio?...... And I don't even like those kind of music.. but can't turn it off. So ironic How about other crying songs?? Let's cheer eachother up.. i know this is kind of off-topic... but hey.. why not..

ShaKe__ Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 xaxa I've noticed that too Well,when I'm heart broken I always seem to listen to these depressing songs: CRAIG DAVID-DON'T LOVE YOU NO MORE (I'M SORRY) For all the years that I've known you baby I can't figure out the reason why lately you've been acting so cold If there's a problem we should work it out so why you giving me the cold shoulder now like you don't even wanna talk to me girl ok I know I was late again I made you mad and then it's throwing the pan but why are you making this drag on so long I'm sick and tired of this silly games don't figure that I'm the only one here to blame it's not me here who's been going round slamming doors That's when you turned and said to me I don't care babe who's right or wrong I just don't love you no more Rain outside my window pouring down What now, your gone, my fault, I'm sorry feeling like a fool cause I let you down now it's, too late, to turn it around I'm sorry for the tears I made you cry I guess this time it really is goodbye you made it clear when you said I just don't love you no more I know that I made a few mistakes but never thought that things would turn out this way cause I'm missing something now that your gone Me at the door with you inner state giving my reasons but as you look away I can see a tear roll down your face That's when you turned and said to me I don't care babe who's right or wrong I just don't love you no more. Don't say those words it's so hard they turn my whole world upside down girl you caught me completely off guard on the night you said to me I just don't love you more. The White Stripes-I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself I just don't know what to do with myself I don't know what to do with myself planning everything for two doing everything with you and now that we're through I just don't know what to do I just don't know what to do with myself I don't know what to do with myself movies only make me sad parties make me feel as bad cause I'm not with you I just don't know what to do like a summer rose needs the sun and rain I need your sweet love to beat love away I'm sure you've heard of the song La camisa negra(Juanes is the singer) which,if you understand Spanish is also about a beart broken man Link to comment
Jonboy582 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I also noticed this when I had my mate in the car who just split up with her boyfriend then Ne-Yo - So Sick came on and just saw her face drop so had to quickly change it. I don'tlike the song anyway its overplayed. And I think its your more aware of these songs rather than they are played more. And as for other crying songs I remember "Symple Plan - Welcome to my life" used to make me cry all the time when broken up from my ex. And "Uncle Kracker" always makes me cry even when im happy for some reason it just triggers something in me lol. Link to comment
kadvati79 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 James Blunt - Goodbye my lover Did I disappoint you or let you down? Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown? 'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun, Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won. So I took what's mine by eternal right. Took your soul out into the night. It may be over but it won't stop there, I am here for you if you'd only care. You touched my heart you touched my soul. You changed my life and all my goals. And love is blind and that I knew when, My heart was blinded by you. I've kissed your lips and held your head. Shared your dreams and shared your bed. I know you well, I know your smell. I've been addicted to you. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me. I am a dreamer but when I wake, You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take. And as you move on, remember me, Remember us and all we used to be I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile. I've watched you sleeping for a while. I'd be the father of your child. I'd spend a lifetime with you. I know your fears and you know mine. We've had our doubts but now we're fine, And I love you, I swear that's true. I cannot live without you. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me. And I still hold your hand in mine. In mine when I'm asleep. And I will bear my soul in time, When I'm kneeling at your feet. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me. I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow. I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow. Nickelback - Far Away This time, This place Misused, Mistakes Too long, Too late Who was I to make you wait Just one chance Just one breath Just in case there's just one left 'Cause you know, you know, you know [CHORUS] That I love you I have loved you all along And I miss you far away for far too long I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore On my knees, I'll ask Last chance for one last dance 'Cause with you, I'd withstand All of hell to hold your hand I'd give it all I'd give for us Give anything but I won't give up 'Cause you know, you know, you know [CHORUS] So far away (So far away) Been far away for far too long So far away (So far away) Been far away for far too long But you know, you know, you know I wanted I wanted you to stay 'Cause I needed I need to hear you say That I love you I have loved you all along And I forgive you For being away for far too long So keep breathing 'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore Believe it Hold on to me and, never let me go Keep breathing 'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore Believe it Hold on to me and, never let me go (Keep breathing) Hold on to me and, never let me go (Keep breathing) Hold on to me and, never let me go Link to comment
shes2smart Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I work in the radio biz. I've been in it for over 20 years. We do that on purpose to annoy you. Just kidding. Actually, I think the reason songs like that become popular is the fact that they are so relatable, and they do make people feel the artist is singing to them about what they're currently going through. Example: There was a really sappy, cheesy song out...oh, about 10 years ago now. It was written to be a tear-jerker. I'd have people calling me during my show after I played it, and they'd be sobbing....and wanting to hear it AGAIN. Huh? What? Didn't get it then, and I don't get it now. I also don't get the call-in request love songs shows like Delilah. But that kind of show (with the right host) does very well ratings-wise...which means a lot of people are listening. I'm working in another format now, and sappy love songs aren't part of the mix here. (thank God.) Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I always tell my friends to banish music all together while they are going through a breakup, unless it's Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive. BellaDonna Link to comment
shes2smart Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Eh, my favorite break-up was always "One More Minute" by Weird Al. It includes the lines: "I'd rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass than spend one more minute with you" And the show-stopping line: "You left me alone in the gas station of love and I have to use the self-service pumps" Why wallow in tears when you can laugh & cry at the same time?

Suddenly you just appear to pay a lot of attention to those songs. I don't like sappy love songs too. I listen to a wide range of music. Another song I like is from Coco Rosie - Good Friday I once fell in love with you Just because the sky turned from gray Into blue It was a good friday The streets were open and empty No more passion play On st. Nicholas avenue I believe in st. Nicholas Its a different type of santa clause Not much text, lol. But really their music is BEAUTIFUL. (if you like this kind of music) Link to comment
enolaton Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Well, here's the thing... the songs are ALWAYS there. BUT, when you're in love and happy, you don't notice sad songs. When you're going through a break-up, you notice EVERYTHING!!! - ALL the happy couples, and ALL the sad songs. It seems as if the world could not have had better timing... all of a sudden, there are 50 sad songs on the radio. Coincidence? I think not. Link to comment
mikeca Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Theory of a Dead man - Since you've been gone.. just listening too now... it seems that nothing ever goes my way Since you broke my heart when you left that day There's nowhere to go so just stay with me Cuz since you've been gone, I've been beggin' you please To tell me you're not alright And you needed to come home (Since you've been gone) To tell me you're not okay And you needed me all along Since you've been gone I need to hear from you Since you've been gone It seems that every time you swear to God that you're leaving I'm down on my knees beggin' you to stay There's nowhere to go so just stay with me Cuz since you've been gone, I've been beggin' you please To tell me you're not alright And you needed to come home (Since you've been gone) To tell me you're not okay And you needed me all along Since you've been gone Please don't leave me here alone Just stay awhile Make me smile Please don't leave me here alone Just stay awhile And, baby, smile Since you've been gone I need to hear from you Since you've been gone I need to hear you say Tell me you're not alright And you needed to come home (Since you've been gone) Tell me you're not okay And you needed me all along Since you've been gone I need to hear you say Since you've been gone Don't tell me Don't tell me I need to hear you say Link to comment
photomo Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover.....It was played so much on the radio as soon as she left me and it tore my heart each time I heard it. The bit where it goes... "And I still hold your hand in mine. In mine when I'm asleep. And I will bear my soul in time, When I'm kneeling at your feet." ...is so emotional for me, yet so true. I still hold her hand when I'm asleep. Link to comment
Spugly Fuglet Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 This one song walking wounded Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every bus Is you and me and him and her and nothing can replace the us I knew Nothing can replace the us I knew Now I'm never gonna let you go Now I'm never gonna let you go And now I know I had a choice though you never made it clear to me I thought you never felt it deeply Now I'm never gonna let you go Now I'm never gonna let you go 'Cause I could have loved you forever Oh I could have loved you forever What do you want from me? , Are you trying to punish me? Punish me for loving you, punish me for giving to you Punish me for nothing I do, punish me for nothing You punish me for nothing, for nothing Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every train Is you and me and him and her, some days I think I could go insane Some days I think I could go insane. -------------- Just dos no get any better than that Link to comment
mikeca Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Another good theory of a deadman - make up your mind Make up your mind and I'll make up mine Don't worry about me I'll be fine Those words that you said to me why wasn't I listening I wish I hadn't met you at all. I started thinking I'll sit back and relax and wait for the morning We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time If we breakup, we'll wind up losing both of our minds So wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time Make up your mind, and I'll make up mine Don't worry about me I'll be fine The last time you yelled at me I swore that I heard you say I wish I hadn't met you at all. I started thinking I'll sit back and relax and wait for the morning We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time If we breakup, we'll wind up losing both of our minds So wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time When will we make up, will we break up. Let's wake up, let's wake up let's wake up. Make up your mind and I'll make up mine Don't worry about me I'll be fine Those words that you said to me why wasn't I listening I wish I hadn't met you at all. I started thinking We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time If we breakup, we'll wind up losing both of our minds So wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time and do this for the last time, let's wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time, if we break up we'll wind up losing both of our minds, let's wake up, let's make up Link to comment
pablovblack Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I walked past my ex'x car the other night and had a quick glance inside (like you do), She had Kelly Clarksons Since youve been gone CD. It kinda upset my because thats a song when you really want to get over someone. Left me feeling there was even little chance for reconciliation. Link to comment
Daddy Bear Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I always tell my friends to banish music all together while they are going through a breakup, unless it's Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive. then you obviously haven't heard Bloodhound Gang's depression-proof "Three Point One Four": My last girlfriend didn't like me thought she might be Most likely a d *** she just didn't excite me Lefty? Yeah but that was alright She was hotter than the sun but she just wasn't that bright My mistake she was more flaky than a leper colony I think a wooden clothespin would have been much better company a** like a donkey acting funky gave her "L" now she's a flunky So my love for her died quicker than a batch of Sea Monkeys Early bird gets the worm spread your legs or spread the word So what if I'm not the smartest peanut in the turd I'm white which goes with everything but I can come in any color And I'm looking for the kind of girl that reminds me of my mother But it's hard to find a girl with a viper tattooed on her tushy And how many girls do you know that can play the harmonica with their p * * * * *s? Like em' easy and hot and sweet like a Rice Krispie Treat, gee You know what I really want in a girl? Me I need to find a new vagina Any kind of new vagina It's hard to rhyme a word like vagina Calvin Klein? Kinda. North Carolina? Women are like dog doo, hear me through, don't interrupt It's just the older that they are the easier they get to pick up I'd fill the generation gap clean the cobwebs from her rafters Old hens would rather put out than be put out to the pasture No age just ain't a gauge I like my girls like my cheese Preferably for me fat-free American singles only I want my next chick anorexic, the winner is the thinner Won't have to take her skinny a * * out to a fancy dinner Like Sizzler she got a beef we'll chew the fat If I forget to put the seat up I can put up with her crap Let her lash out and crack the whip but not in bed I don't play rough No I can't be tied down with a girl that wants me tied up Just independent like NOFX, smart like Janeane Garafolo She'd use big words to make fun of me so that I would never know Bestow upon me all her wisdom of the Dewey Decimal System, gee You know what I really want in a girl? Me I need to find a new vagina Any kind of new vagina It's hard to rhyme a word like vagina Kevin Klein? Kinda. South Carolina? Link to comment
ShroomzGod Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 here we go... Alkaline Trio - My friend Peter I dont care who you've been sleeping with these days You're outta my hair It's growing just above my smiling face that I wear Every night I drink myself to sleep Not thinking about you Not thinking about anything at all I don't care who you've been dining with these days It's more than fair Much rather be drinking anyways With my friend Peter Who lives so * * * *ing far away Yet not as far as you Even though you live right down my * * * *ing street And I'm tired of sleeping with myself I'm tired, all these drinks and drugs no longer help I'm tired of lying about not thinking of you Maybe my friend Peter can tell me what to do I dont care who you've been kissing on these days It's out of my hands and in my mouth with such a pleasant taste I need a beer to wash it all away without a trace And then i'll drink 23 more To wipe this stupid smile off my * * * *ing face I'm tired of sleeping with myself I'm tired, all those drinks and drugs no longer help I'm tired of lying about not thinking of you Maybe my friend Peter can tell me what to do Grab a friend and forget about it...

Orlander Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I agree with Donna. While the sad songs can help you connect with the feelings of others who are/have experienced what you are going through (afterall, misery does love company) I can only say that if you are going to listen to music, make it inspirational, motivating and self-empowering music. I listen to the following songs... Can You Feel It -- The Jackson 5 Walking with a Ghost -- Tegan and Sara Rascal Flatts -- Feels Like Today Try Again -- Aaliyah Walking Away -- Craig David Gotta Get Thru This -- Daniel Bedingfield Youth -- Matisyahu What do you Want from Me -- Monaco Let Me Roll -- Seal Those are just what I have on my psp at the moment.
