Title: A good song I listen to when I'm feeling blue Post by: paperlung on January 05, 2015, 05:34:39 PM I used to listen to this song quite frequently when I broke up and then went NC with my ex back in March 2013. It really helped me out when I was feeling anxious/sad.
":)on't paint me black when I used to be golden." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG-dEWgGSc8 Title: Re: A good song I listen to when I'm feeling blue Post by: Mr Hollande on January 05, 2015, 05:59:29 PM I like this song. I like the place it takes me to in my mind. Thank you for leading me to it.

Here is one that I listen to every time I find myself feeling sympathy or empathy toward my BPD ex girlfriend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY Now your just somebody that I used to know, gives me pleasure just singing it!

Saw this live about a month after she left, was pretty moving.

Hah. Funny thing about that song is that my ex and I always used to hear it playing on the radio in car when we were together. Stations were playing it all the time during the summer. Title: Re: A good song I listen to when I'm feeling blue Post by: Mr Hollande on January 05, 2015, 07:07:47 PM I've toyed with the idea that if she was sane the words in this song would be her conceding, but she's not sane. She's insane and the words are Joanna Newsom's while any concession remains a fantasy.

":)on't paint me black when I used to be golden." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG-dEWgGSc8 My ex said in the beginning of our relationship, that everything about us feels "warm, round and golden" for her. ":)on't paint me black when I used to be golden" nails it perfectly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8Or0kDo_SM Elton John and Leon Russell - If It Wasn't For Bad I knew from the first night I met you That something just wasn't quite right You looked like an innocent stranger But something was just out of sight How could I know that you'd accuse me To fill out some plan of your own If I could have known you'd abuse me And leave me here hurt and alone If it wasn't for you I'd be happy If it wasn't for lies you'd be true I know that you could be just like you should If it wasn't for bad you'd be good I only saw what I wanted to see You were a dream in my mind I'll never know how you never could be It didn't take long for me to find I guess that it's my fault for seeing Only what I wanted to see I couldn't know you were being A player just acting for me Title: Re: A good song I listen to when I'm feeling blue Post by: billypilgrim on January 25, 2015, 10:34:03 PM Great video to a pretty great song about emotional loss. Might as well have been me they filmed, I think for a while there I thought I could just outrun it all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e17iXDf0NGE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkfkJCyqCBc&spfreload=10 Billy Joel - Always a woman to me. She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes She can ruin your faith with her casual lies And she only reveals what she wants you to see She hides like a child, but she's always a woman to me She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you She can ask for the truth, but she'll never believe And she'll take what you give her as long it's free Yeah, She steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me CHORUS Ohhh... .she takes care of herself She can wait if she wants, she's ahead of her time Ohhh... .and she never gives out And she never gives in, she just changes her mind And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding But she'll bring out the best and the worst you can be Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me CHORUS She's frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel She can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool She can't be convicted, she's earned her degree And the most she will do is throw shadows at you, But she's always a woman to me |
