For me, music is distracting, empowering, and gives me a sense of connection (as other people have felt my feelings).

My current themesong is P!nk: So what

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUvYR2ZYjVY

It's pretty much on repeat in my head. Even if we reconcile, it helps me reclaim my power.

Alternates right now are Erin McKeown's: Aspera

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY9rtm_wy7M

through hardships we are born to the stars.

Fiona Apple's: Extraordinary Machine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjfTDDAstig

and, of course, Gaynor's: I will survive

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBR2G-iI3-I

Who else has inspirational songs to help regain footing and get the dance back? Links would be awesome!

Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) by Kelly Clarkson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn676-fLq7I

I have had a whole playlist for this process I am going through, but I think this sums it up for me. I feel stronger every time I listen to it.

Best Days of Your Life - Kellie Pickler

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLUvO8QUmXc&feature=youtube_gdata_player

"Remember When" by Alan Jackson

It fits us perfectly

Oh wow, it changes almost daily!

Today: Titanium -Sia

Little Black Sandals-Sia

Under Pressure by Queen

I'm still very angry so, my current #1 is ' U-Turn ' by Samantha...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSC7BY0zY8Q

...the video is kind of lame but, the lyrics are where I am at...

I also listen to the Armin Van Buuren song, ' Unforgivable '...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyUfJVqMtO0

Pearl Jam's ' Just Breath ' is on the favorites list. WH plays it a lot. I told him the one line in that song that I feel soooo deep,...

"...I don't want to hurt. There's so much in this world to make me bleed..."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4Ye3AGcNtU

I do love P!nk! Kelly Clarkson is great too.

My playlist:

Somebody That I Used To Know (Gotye)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jW59m6Nsxs

What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger-Kelly Clarkson

Over You-Chris Daughtry

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a1UOa0YZaE

There are others, but these are my top ones. Some for rage and some for sorrow.

How You Remind Me- Nickelback

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEFFi2HdFJw

Better in Time-Leona Lewis

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZqoPr17SPw

Another piece of my heart

the Janis Joplin one, NOT Faith Hill!

Mean woman by Joplin is also sweet.

Extraordinary machine IS awesome, also sleep to dream by fiona apple is pretty great.

This thread is a good idea-it's relevant and fun

Ooh! And also, heartbreaker by aretha as well as chain of fools

Eta-on good days I also like "been loving you too long" by Otis redding, that one isn't exactly in heavy rotation though.

"The End Is The Beginning Is The End" by Smashing Pumpkins

(On my quieter days, it's "The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning" by Smashing Pumpkins - look them up!).

"Is it bright where you are?

Have the people changed?

Does it make you happy you're so strange?

And in your darkest hour,

I hold secret's flame.

We can watch the world devoured in its pain.

Strange..."

i promise to stop and leave this thread alone, right after I say that I just got a flash from back when I was in the thick of the rage . . .

@ that point it was all about old dirty bastard! especially his epic composition "you don't want to ____ with me"

I sincerely reccomend his work to anybody going through that part of this, you will feel as if he is speaking your personal thoughts aloud

Move Along- All American Rejects

Go ahead and waste your days with thinking

When you fall everyone stands

Another day and you've had your fill of sinking

With the life held in your

Hands are shaking cold

These hands are meant to hold

Speak to me, when all you've got to keep is strong

Move along, move along like I know you do

And even when your hope is gone,

Move Along, move along, just to make it through

Move along

Move along

So a day when you've lost yourself completely

Could be a night when your life ends

Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving

All the pain held in your

Hands are shaking cold, these hands are mine to hold

Speak to me, when all you've got to keep is strong

Move along, move along like I know you do

And even when you hope is gone

Move along, move along just to make it through

(go on, go on, go on, go on)

WHEN EVERYTHING IS WRONG, WE MOVE ALONG...

"I Will Survive" by Arethra Franklin

It really says it all for me.....

lately Bits and Pieces by Nuff Sedd.

I will Survive (The Cake version, "I should've changed my fuckin' locks, I should have made you leave your key...")

Now Your Just Somebody That I Used to Know (Gotye.) This song hits hard for me.

Desperado (Eagles) Makes me cry everytime, but so fitting. (Freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin...')

Genesis Hold on my heart

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6kzACspJ5g

After 3.5 years my favorite is still: Anastacia, "I'm outta love":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnOy6HEf7HU

Next: "Over you" Daughtry:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m02-RHN_hQE

And: Linken Park "In the End"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m02-RHN_hQE

Battlescars by Guy Sebastian

http://www.youclubvideo.com/video/132728/cee-lo-fuck-you-official-video

This is my all time favorite to get my angries out. I would turn this up loud and scream out "F*ck You" along with Cee Lo. It was very cathartic.

Cast another vote for Gotye.

But for sheer enjoyment, I've really been loving Royal Southern Brotherhood. A Neville and an Allman, with excellent bandmates---awesome, awesome, awesome.
