Re: Let’s create a playlist! What ear worms live in our SSpouse psyche?

I'm not a big fan of country western, but you have to admit sometimes it's the genre that has the best break-up songs.  My playlist would have to include "Loving You's The Dumbest Fuckin Thing I Ever Done" by Reckless Kelly:

Funny just recently apropos of nothing I found myself singing that Whitney Houston song “The greatest love of all, is easy to achieve, learning to love yourself, it is the greatest LOVE of all!” 

I had to laugh when I realized what I was singing.  And seriously it just kept coming into my mind and I’d be humming along.  Blessings arising spontaneously

I'm looking through you...Where did you go?
I thought I knew you...What did I know?
You don't look different, but you have changed.

I'm looking through you...You're not the same.

— The Beatles

Sleep to dream - Fiona Apple

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMWYCnCIVMU

I got my feet on the ground
And I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds
You're not at all what you seem
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled
By your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you
Don't come around, I got my own hell to raise...

She's really helping me in dealing and healing with the trauma.

I knew of a couple of songs from the charts by Marillion when I was a teenager in the 1980s but didn’t like them enough to buy any of their albums. Fast forward 20 years and it turns out my STBXGIDH was a massive fan of theirs and if we drove anywhere in his car it was his choice of music or none.

I now know a lot of stuff I can’t stand (Johnny Cash especially) but I found that I really loved Marillion - so much so, that I walked down the aisle to one of their songs! A few years’ later and they were coming to our hometown to play a concert to promote their new album so we bought tickets and went along. I didn’t listen to the new album before we went so as not to spoil the anticipation and towards the end of the concert they played this:

Marillion - The Sky Above the Rain

Not long into it I was in tears. It really struck a chord with me in a way I couldn’t quite understand at the time.


If I only knew then what I know now - it makes perfect sense - and it still makes me cry
