I've been hearing a lot of songs lately that are pulling at me thru the A process.

There's a few that hold me up, then there's those few that should represent a M, but I know they don't represent my M, more specifically wh's feelings or mine. Here's my list at the moment:

Helping me/holding me up:

Let it go, from the movie Frozen

And Titanium

These two songs remind me I'm stronger then this, and I can get thru and be me and that's ok,better then ok

Then there's the songs that make me sad, by showing me what I'm missing/wanting in my M

All of me by John Legend, my wh won't give me back his heart/love. There for he won't give me all of himself, and I can't give him all of me ever again. I did that once and look where I am today.

And "say something" not sure the artist,but that song reminds me that I don't have a wh that's willing to fight for me and is just willing to let me walk away.

And then there's the song "I won't give up" well what can I say,he gave up a long time ago and never tried to come back, and I know he never will fight like this song.

There are a few I remember at this moment (it's 4am here). I know there's more that I can't remember the names of.

I heard "All of Me" by John Legend the other day at work and it made me start crying.

"Say something" by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera and

"I won't give up" by Jason Mraz both touch my heart strings. Sometimes I send songs to my WH when I don't know what else to say. They can sum up my feelings so beautifully.

I've got a collection :) One playlist for feeling happy/hopefull and one playlist for feeling not happy... since I'm still very much on a roller coaster.

Scangel3 & Soloney: I have "Say Something" & "I Won't Give Up" included too!

"Staying Alive" - Cursive

I've decided tonight

I'm staying alive

Just kicking and screaming

The worst is over

"Both Sides Now" - Joni Mitchell

"Stubborn Love" - Lumineers

"Melt My Heart to Stone" - Adele

And I hear your words that I made up

You say my name like there could be an us

I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love

WH chose some songs for a romantic playlist once when I asked him to...

One of this choices brought me to tears, its an incredible song, especially coming from him:

"You Still Believe in Me" - Beach Boys

I know perfectly well

I'm not where I should be

I've been very aware

You've been patient with me

Every time we break up

You bring back your love to me

And after all I've done to you

How can it be

You still believe in me

I don't say much but I lurk around a lot. Thank you for baring your souls here, you've said the words I couldn't find and you've helped me heal more than I can say.

Yep yep to Katy Perry. Adele, Pink, Kelley Clarkson, and Carrie Underwood are my go-to girls too.

I always wished my ex would be remorseful, and Daughtry has a lot of "remorseful" and "take me back" type songs. I asked ex to listen to some of them, but he just told me he hates Daughtry and refused.. When we separated, I found "What I Meant To Say," and that's my favorite song by Daughtry now..

slight t/j

After a few months we took a spur of the moment trip to Florida. I think we both just thought we could put the world on hold for a bit.

We were heading towards Animal Kingdom at Disney and Remember When by Alan Jackson comes on the radio.

We are pulling into the park amongst a million other happy people and we both have red swollen eyes and snot running all over the place.

I still cannot listen to that song without breaking down.

This thread is very timely for me. I heard two more on the radio today that I haven't thought about in a long time.

"Doin' Time" -Sublime

"Rain King" - Counting Crows (This song gave me goose bumps today.)

Don't try and bleed me

I've been there before

And I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of a queen

I belong anywhere but in between

She's been lying and I've been sinking

I am the rain king.

Any time.

I've always said the biggest hindrance to the Counting Crows was that they released the perfect fist album. No band can do that every time. When it's your first album everything that comes after people say "It's good but not as good as that first one." Then they start talking about how you lost your touch. If August and Everything After was their third album they'd be talked about along side all the greats in the history of rock and roll.

Cork's off, it's on

The party's just begun

I promise

This drink is my last one

I know I fucked up again

Because I lost my only friend

God forgive my sins

Don't leave me, I

Oh I will hate myself until I die

My heart would break without you

Might not awake without you

Been hurting low, from living high for so long

I'm sorry, and I love you

Sing with me, "Bell Bottom Blue"

I'll keep on searching for an answer cause I need you more than dope

I need you more than dope

Need you more than dope

Need you more than dope

I need you more than dope

Toast one last puff

And two last regrets

Three spirits and

Twelve lonely steps

Up heaven's stairway to gold

Mine myself like coal

A mountain of a soul

Each day, I cry

Oh, I feel so low from living high

My heart would break without you

Might not awake without you

Been hurting low, from living high for so long

I'm sorry, and I love you

Sing with me, "Bell Bottom Blue"

I'll keep searching for an answer cause I need you more than dope

I need you more than dope

I need you more than dope

I need you more than dope

I need you more than dope

I need you more
