Title: The song when a man loves a woman Post by: Peta87 on March 15, 2016, 02:13:12 AM Who can relate to this song with your Parent's
My BPD Mother had all the power over my dad, My dad love her to Death but her destructive borderline ways push him away, my mother use to spent all his money for alcohol and go out with different men and she came home different hours in the morning. He was with her for 18 years because he love her who she was but not her borderline that in her. Sadly they separated because my Mum was to sick to handle any relationships in her life. SadlyHer BPD killed her in the end with her risky behaviour. When a man loves a woman Can't keep his mind on nothing else He'll trade the world For the good thing he's found If she's bad he can't see it She can do no wrong Turn his back on his best friend If he put her down When a man loves a woman Spend his very last dime Trying to hold on to what he needs He'd give up all his comfort Sleep out in the rain If she said that's the way it ought to be Well, this man loves a woman I gave you everything I had Trying to hold on to your precious love Baby, please don't treat me bad When a man loves a woman Down deep in his soul She can bring him such misery If she plays him for a fool He's the last one to know Loving eyes can't ever see When a man loves a woman He can do no wrong He can never own some other girl Yes when a man loves a woman I know exactly how he feels 'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world When a man loves a woman Title: Re: The song when a man loves a woman Post by: HappyChappy on March 15, 2016, 01:03:15 PM It does illustrate your point, also it’s a rhythm and blues song, and apparently we can’t write the blues unless we’ve experienced it.
Do you find music allows you to explore emotions that we weren’t allowed to show as children of a BPD ?

Now i'm mature enough to explored what I went through as a child by therapy and on my own. I think music is a powerful thing and this song I relate to it so much because it's sound like my parents painful love story. When I listened to the song all these painful memories came to my mind.

I think music is a powerful thing and this song I relate to it so much because it's sound like my parents painful love story. When I listened to the song all these painful memories came to my mind. Exactly the same with me. Music has been a controlled way to explore these emotions. But the really spooky thing, was that when I realised about BPD I started to understand the lyrics to my most sole soothing songs I always listened to, as you do, and found out my two top band, both experienced and wrote about someone with a PD. So Oasis’s father has a PD and was very abusive and The Arctic Monkeys also wrote explicit lyrics about it. Makes me wonder if we share close pain through the rhythm of the music? However both those bands are termed teenage angst music. Bit different to the one you present. But the Eagles lyrics also go on endlessly about Desperado, and Evil Woman. Maybe we should create a thread to put together a recovery playlist ? Broken into the stages of recovery. So starting with realisation, onto anger, then acceptance . Noel from Oasis now hangs out with Russle Brand (who’s believed to have a PD) so I’m guessing he’s over it. :) |
