Well after a break up of staggering magnitude is there any music that I can listen to that won't make me want to die?

I'm not being orginal here but Blood on the Tracks has always been the best music for me to listen to after a big breakup. I also like Beck's Sea Change. I also remember throwing in some Motorhead and Big Black between the Dylan divorce songs.

[Whiskeyportal]

Go get yourself Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco. Great music if your down about some hole.

[marcpsych]

Good luck, man.

Congrats on making your decision, even though it's not easy.

In terms of tunes, I recommend Allman Brothers Band:

Leave My Blues At Home

Hot Lanta

Dude, Sea Change is by far my favorite break up album. I even learned how to play a few of those tunes. Bluebird, Lost Cause, fucking amazing, but I want to live.

I listened to a ghost is born already today. Lol

[west milly Tom]

The funny thing is I am a singer/songwriter genre fan. So every album on my BlackBerry right now is about breaking up in some way or another. I'm going to have to stay away from Ray LaMontagne for about a year I suppose.

great recommendation but Tweedy can be more of a downer for someone who just had a break-up of monumental proportions.

I go with the Black Crowes - Live in San Fran


Fantastic listen and not going to make you slice your wrists.

[yojimbo7248]

How about Armed Forces some other early Elvis Costello? I love that stuff for getting in a good mood. "What's so funny about peace love and understanding" alone does it for me.

[razorboy]

I recommend "It's Been A Break Up Of Staggering Magnitude and Now I'm Going To Kill Myself" by The Razorboy Band. That always cheers me up.

[Kublakhan61]

If you don't want to die then go get a copy of Fear of Music by the Talking Heads ... if for some strange reason you don't already own it.

And if you really, really want to live go get yourself some Fela Kuti records - Open and Close is a good place to start.

[LaBoob]

I like listening to break up songs after a break up. It reminds me that I'm not the only person to feel that way and it's pretty much universal. Some of my favorite songs are really sad break up songs and I love them the most when I can REALLY feel what they are about.

[biggestmexi]

if its over why start a thread to remind you about it some more?

[utriculus!]

x2 on sea change.

Explosions in the Sky or Godspeed You Black Emporer! are also good to create a sense of promise and shift your emotional state to a more positive, if wistful, place.

do you read the threads beyond the title?
You are missing the point, dummy, he is looking for music suggestions to cheer him up!

most of these posts miss the point - sea change will not help you move on.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

sorr bout your break up

fuck music in its ass

Listen to Dr. B from noon to three

[Whiskeyportal]

I listened to a ghost is born already today. Lol

then go with a more up beat AM and kick it old school

[ToiletCrusher]

get drunk by noon and blast some 311. old stuff - transistor and/or older. That cheers me up

[biggestmexi]

I judge books by their covers. It eases me through my day.

But in all honesty I did read it. And the thread title is a segway into the real subject.

So the thread title should be more on point about cheery music.

and not bringing up fresh memories..

thats all i was getting at.

back to cover shopping.

His words are like medicine that fills holes in the soul.

"Thank you door"

[razorboy]

In all sincerity I recommend throwing on The J. Geils Band 'Blow Your Face Out'.

[dryerdoor]

The Explosions in the Sky discography.

And Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights. It's a very upbeat record.

[led37zep]

Steven Lynch will help.

Full House is also a great live album. - the only J. Geils I've ever owned.

[razorboy]

Agreed. Another great album.

[Boogie in Va]

Check out hed(p.e). They should get you up and moving. Or maybe even OPM. Enjoy and good luck.

[west milly Tom]

Thanks a lot for all the great suggestions buddays. I've got a lot of downloading to do.

[Dougie Brootal]

What is it exactly that you are trying to say?? :unsure:


And their last 2 albums (produced on Suburban Noize Records) are better than their older stuff.

really?

the only thing he says is "Bitch I dont give a fuck" over and over and over in every song. i just heard it on saturday. i wish i could remember the song names so i could throw them at you. but lets suffice to say they are clearly targeting suburban 13 year olds from divorced families. absolutley terrible.


but hey, its your eardrums!

[donnie_darko]

i say listen to some bright eyes, some owen, the cure, emo the shit up.

DO: King's of Leon--Aha, Shake, Hearbreak

NIck Drake is my all time favorite singer/songwriter and "time will tell" would be way worse than "Pink Moon".

[west milly Tom]

I'm listening to "Half a World Away" by R.E.M. The line, "this could be the saddest dusk Ive ever seen" really got me. I might start crying on the bus. I'm such a fag.

[toolshed]

True, Time will tell is a tough one too.

I love all those albums, just certain ones are more wrist-slitting than others. I personally like sad albums after a break-up. Pop music just sounds stupid when you are hurting.

Also, anything from Motown.

You, sir are a man after my own heart. Love that mo-town when I'm aching.

[landarch]

I use loud rap music to make me feel better during tough mental times. Even those that I don't like that much. The beats and lyrics don't necessarily bring sunshine into my life, but they push everything else out of my mind. I did it just this morning to rid myself of some home worries, and it worked just fine.

[west milly Tom]

First recommendati I took was the talking heads album. I downloaded it tonight. Let you know how it works.

You had to have danced you sorrows right out the door ... at least you must have danced until side 2, that is.

[Thomas Merton]

Good luck, man.

Not "Whipping Post?"

Best thing to do is to dust yourself off and get right back on the saddle...

Listened to it on the bus, wrong atmosphere, however it got me nice and primed for the bar.

Looks like you found the right music with the Last Waltz. It definitely puts me in a good mood.

Yup that's the one so far.

Atleast you didn't get married and have that playing while you danced your first dance....like I did.

[Freitag]

Rich, how long were you married for?

[JerseyRich]

Rich, how long were you married for?

Legally...1 year and one month. We lived together for 6 months of that.

[keithy_19]

Gaslight Anthem-59' Sound. The songs aren't really all that happy, but for some reason it's just soothing. That album "saved my life".

The Clash-Anything they've recorded.

Clutch-Beale Street to Oblivion

Rancid-And Out Come the Wolves

Against Me!-Reinventing Axl Rose. Perfect album for just not thinking of someone.

Coheed and Cambria-No World for Tomorrow. Kicks ass. Rocking album and you can get anger and sadness out with it.

Godspeed good sir. I hoped some of these help. I'd reccomment you stay away from Ben Harper 'Walk Away'. It just made me more miserable.

[Freitag]

Legally...1 year and one month. We lived together for 6 months of that.

On the bright side, you outlasted Paul and Melly.

You had a blackberry playing or Ray La Montagne?

[JerseyRich]

"Hold you in my arms"

It's such a beautiful song and it's now ruined.

Ben Folds 'The Luckiest' is the worst thing to listen to right now.
