Last Day of Our Acquaintance- Sinead O’Connor

[-]

UnimportantOutcome67@reddit (OP)

This one or Emperor's New Clothes.

[-]

meahern_por@reddit

Yeah, for sure. And while we’re talking about Sinead…she also shares vocals on a song by The The called Kingdom of Rain. I think it’s a perfect fit for this list.

Really sorry you’re going through this. Glad that music helps you deal.

[-]

UnimportantOutcome67@reddit (OP)

Thanks. I appreciate you.

eventualguide0@reddit

I used to get this song stuck in my head the last day of every semester when my students were turning final research papers in.

[-]

hdufort@reddit

Neil Halstead, "Two Stones in my Pocket".

It is a delicate, very helpful song about traveling the world to mend your heart.

[-]

UnimportantOutcome67@reddit (OP)

Great one. It's on.

docsiege@reddit

for my divorce there was lots of Elliott Smith for the sad, and lots of NIN for the mad.

big hugs to you. divorce is hard, no matter what the circumstances. make sure to protect yourself and not give up things you don't have to just to be nice.

drinks and/or commiseration with friends or acquaintances can also be very healing.

[-]

UnimportantOutcome67@reddit (OP)

Thank you!

The song that helped me the most was Joy to You Baby by Josh Ritter

Whatever resentment or hurt or anger or regret you have will still be there, but this song reminded me not to cling to the negatives

[-]

Substantial_Leg6852@reddit

That whole album really.

Some good reflective songs, but overall a very content vibe.

[-]

UnimportantOutcome67@reddit (OP)

She Hates Me is a no-brainer. Thanks.

[-]

JoeyHandsomeJoe@reddit

I just want to say as a fellow member of the minority (husbands who file on their wives)

Don't get long-term involved with someone two months after you move out, no matter how attracted you are. Your sense of perspective is injured right now, and way too many single women our age are single through ~~no~~ fault of their own (I mean, your ex-wife is now part of that population). Avoid committing at all costs until you get to the point where you are comfortable enough being single that you don't need a playlist's help.

That said, Morcheeba - Undress Me Now. Manifest a moment of perfection in the future (remember, FAR future) instead of combating the flawed present.

[-]

UnimportantOutcome67@reddit (OP)

Thanks , my friend. I appreciate it.

[-]

slmansfield@reddit

I like high energy fighting songs, with lyrics to match. Genre and language less important.

Not Today - BTS (listen to song with English translation) Non, je ne regretted rien - Edith Piaf (again…English translation) We”re not gonna take it - Twisted Sister Killing in the name - RATM (explicit version so you can practice your new mantra 17 times) I won’t back down - Tom Petty Seven Nation Army - White Stripes We will rock you / We are the champions (just like the 45) - Queen I will survive - Gloria Gayner I”m still standing - Elton John The Pretender - Foo Fighers Ha Ha You’re Dead - Green Day Wherever I may Roam - Metallica I’m coming out - Diana Ross IDOL - BTS (again, English lyrics) WIN - ATEEZ (again, English lyrics)

[-]

UnimportantOutcome67@reddit (OP)

Nice. Rage is getting on there.

[-]

Hustle787878@reddit

My friend, you’ll get through this. One day it’ll just be a shitty memory, and you’ll find your happy. Until then, these helped get me through:

“No More Drama” — Mary J. Bilge “What Can I Do if the Fire Goes Out” — Gang of Youths “Blue Water” — George Strait “Hurricane” — I Prevail “Gfy” — Dennis Lloyd “I Wish I Wasn’t” — Heather Hadley

That list is eclectic as fuck, so hopefully you’ll find something in your genre.

[-]

BooBeans71@reddit

Unstoppable by Sia is one of the songs on my playlist. My husband left after his dad passed and isn’t coming back. I’m absolutely wrecked, so you probably don’t want anything else from my playlist.

I'm gping through a divorce now, it should be coming to an end soon, so BIG changes are coming too! I'm excited and terrified!

My heart is broken for you tonight, brother.

I managed to live though a divorce 13 years ago that was 100% my fault. But, 12 years ago I managed to salvage what I thought was irreparably broken, and I have never had more love and joy in my life.

Every situation is different and I have no idea what you've been through. I wish I had a song to share as it is truly the medicine that heals me, but I don't.

Just keep it positive and stay away from the dark places, will ya?

[-]

UnimportantOutcome67@reddit (OP)

Doing my best, my Friend.

Thank you!

[-]

fitbit10k@reddit

This is gonna sound cheesy, but after getting my heart totally crushed by my son's dad, listening to Elton John's I'm Still Standing helped me through the breakup. The further I got away from the relationship, and the more I accomplished on my own while being a single parent, the more meaningful the song became.

It's been 30 years since the break up and I still credit that song for getting me on the path of happiness.

When I went through a heartache, Train Drops of Jupiter was a good one. I can’t even tell you what any other song is outside of Drops of Jupiter, but I listened to that album so much. I don’t even know why I chose it lol. It’s light, even, uses notes with positive vibes and tones. It helped shape my mood to be pleasant and even, instead of bouncing to extremes.

It’s not specifically Gen X but when I was going through my divorce (I was the initiator) around 2015-2016 I listened to the shit out of Jason Isbell “Southeastern”. For some reason it had popped up on my Spotify discover and I spend many a fall night staring into space by my fire pit listening to it. It hit on a lot of levels, full of pain and beauty and yearning and regret

[-]

Pink "So What"

Beyoncé "Ave Maria"

Taylor Swift "Blank Space" & "All Too Well"

[-]

SplashiestMonk@reddit

My divorce playlist was almost exclusively angry grrl music - several of the artists you mentioned plus Halsey (“You Should Be Sad”), Demi Lovato (“Really Don’t Care”), and a few others. Taylor Swift’s “I Forgot that You Existed” is another great one to include.

[-]

catrules618@reddit

I'm often surprised Taylor Swift can find guys who will date her. Because you absolutely know that whenever you break up, she will lyrically drag you to hell and back, and every one of those songs will chart top 40.

I'm lying. Of course there are a gazillion men who think it would never happen to them. And they risk it.

Eddie Vedder and Neil Finn “Throw your arms around me”. Holy HELL those harmonies. Plan some time to finish that squinch of bourbon you’ve been holding onto and then to cry real good. And then get off the floor and hit the gym you daisy.

That Adele song. You know the one. My choice is the 5th hole of a golf course, preferably with one gram of shrooms onboard, plus wine. Usually a par 5, no one around. Let it out. Fuck her. Sing it fully, hammer. You’re no daisy.

The Sword, “Night City” on repeat in the morning. Coffee, healthy breakfast, shit, shower and shave. Read the lyrics for one round before you leave the house. Storm the castle, champ. Positive mental attitude.

Descendents, “Coolidge” on your way to work. you can only be a victim if you… admit defeat” The definition of YOU is yours, and yours alone.

I’m sad as fuck this has happened to you, and would wave a magic wand if I could. But the fact of the matter is this: just as we all have all DAY to be on-time and only one minute to be late, our lives are in OUR hands.

I was at where you are now, back in 2008. I wallowed in ALL of the emotions until I got up and got back at it. Music helped me IMMENSELY. I hope my handful here helps you, too. You’re no daisy. PITTER PATTER GET AT ‘ER.

RedYamOnthego@reddit

These are nominally for women, but I don't know why men can't take these lessons to heart! Miley Cyrus's "Flowers" -- you can cook yourself pancakes!

Also, "Thank You, Next" by Ariana Grande. There's a modicum of gratitude to each ex for the lessons you learned, but most importantly, a looking-forward to better relationships in the future.

And, David Bowie's "Strangers When We Meet." I like the Buddha of Suburbia version slightly better, but they both are great.

I also agree with digging out the stuff that you really like and maybe it wasn't appreciated as much by your ex. That is liberating to take back some (healthy) things you enjoy doing and listening to kr watching.

Divorce can be the right thing to do and a good move. But it is still really painful. Music is great for processing those complicated feelings.
