Soundtrack for a broken heart







So you have a broken heart? Here goes a list of songs dealing with post break-up feelings. If someone just broke your heart this is just what you need right now. A soundtrack that speaks directly to your feelings. You need to avoid happy tunes, where the sun is always shinning or where love is all around. Right now it's all about darkness, despair, hatred and hopefully in a while some feelings of acceptance and healing. In this tunes you can achieve all the understanding your friends aren't capable of giving, cause they are not going through the same sad moment as you. This sad and angry musicians are sympathetic with what's going inside of you. They know how sad and revolted your heart is right now. When listening to this songs you don't have to be ashamed for still loving your ex, for being depressed or for having dark wishes of filthy revenge. I chose my favourite songs to match each of the post break up feelings and stages.


What other songs and feelings would you pick up for a personal soundtrack? Please share them here. All songs are welcome at this point. We will survive! And for that we better listen to good music.


Denial

No Doubt - Don't Speak 

"Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts"



 

Identity Crisis

Tori Amos - Your Cloud 

"if there is
a horizontal line
that runs from the map
off your body
straight through the land
shooting up
right through my heart
will this horizontal line
when asked
know how to find
where you end 

where I begin"


 

Loneliness and abandonment

Daughter - Landfill

"So leave me in the cold
Wait until the snow covers me up
So I cannot move
So I'm just embedded in the frost
Then leave me in the rain
Wait until my clothes cling to my frame
Wipe away your tear stains
Thought you said you didn't feel pain"

 



Despair

The Smiths - I know it's over

"Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh ..." 



 
Regret

Arcade Fire - The Crown of Love

"if you still want me, please forgive me, the crown of love has fallen from me.
if you still want me, please forgive me, because your hands are not upon me.
i shrugged them off before my mom walked in my bedroom.
the pains of love, and they keep growin', in my heart there's flowers
growin' on the grave of our old love, since you gave me a straight
answer" 




 
Hatred

Fiona Apple - Not about love

"And it doesn't seem fair
That your wicked words should work
In holding me down
No, it doesn't seem right
To take information
Given at close range
For the gag
And the bind
And the ammunition round"




Self- reproach

Bjork - Immature

"How could I be so immature ?
To think he could replace,
The missing elements in me,
How extremely lazy of me "





Masochism

Leona Lewis - Bleeding love

"But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love"





Bargaining

Janis Joplin - Maybe

"Please, please, please, please,
Oh won't you reconsider babe.
Now come on, I said come back,
Won't you come back to me!"

 

Revenge

Lily Allen - Not big

"I'm sorry if you feel that I'm being kinda mental,
But you left me in such a state.
But now I'm gonna do what you did to me,
Gonna reciprocate.

You're not big, you're not clever,
No, you ain't a big brother
Not big what so ever"





Self - Empowerment

Elton John - I'm still standing

"Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind"




Rebirth


Sóley - Smashed birds

"And there I took all of your birds
And I smashed them in my pocket, oh
And then I got the feathers off and
I made myself a beautiful dress"
