    Paolo Nutini's 'Rewind' is in my head today..
    Picking up the pieces of the wreck you went and left
    And I'm dealing with dilemmas in my now so stressful life.
    I'm drinking stronger spirits, made my home here on the floor
    And I'm losing all ambition and goals
    I'm going all out, I'm thinking you're just as bad. 
    I'm not sleeping at night, but I'm going from bar to bar.
    Why can't I just rewind, why can't we just rewind, why can't we just rewind? 
    Remember at 16 the crazy drunken night we had,
    When I kissed you in the hallway, then I took you straight to bed.
    Two years on I'm still the same boy, and I'm not sleeping at night, but I'm going from bar to bar.
    Why can't I just rewind, why can't we just rewind, why can't we just rewind? 
    I'm not sleeping at night, but I'm going from bar to bar.
    Why can't I just rewind, why can't we just rewind, why can't we just rewind? 
    You might blame it on me, but you insisted that we fall.
    Wiped your hands of me and said you needed more, more, more! I
    'm not sleeping at night, but I'm going from bar to bar.
    Why can't I just rewind, why can't we just rewind, why can't we just rewind? 
    I'm not sleeping at night, but I'm going from bar to bar.
    Why can't I just rewind, why can't we just rewind, why can't we just rewind? 
    Why can't we just rewind?

    Well Adeles new "Easy on Me"  certainly had me tearing with the perfect notes and words.. is it me telling my GX
    to stop being mean to me?  Or is it me fantasizing about my GX explaining to me why she cheated?   
    Still I enjoy listening to Adeles voice and listen to any music I want now.

    I urge anyone going through this to go easy on yourself of all people.. 

    From her interview;
    "The song has been described as a focus on the singer’s “fraught tildhood, her lost marriage and the lessons learnt and unlearnt about family, love and abandonment along the way,” by British Vogue, while Time analyses the song in depth and confirms that it “reflects on the end of a relationship.” “She is vulnerable and introspective, tender with herself and ultimately at least a little bit hopeful,” writes Eloise Barry."

    Eric Clapton: Blue eyes blue. The whole lyrics resonates deeply with me.

    I thought that you'd be loving me
    I thought you were the one who'd stay forever
    But now forever's come and gone
    And I'm still here alone

    'Cause you were only playing
    You were only playing with my heart
    I was never waiting
    I was never waiting for the tears to start

    It was you Who put the clouds around me
    It was you Who made the tears fall down
    It was you Who broke my heart in pieces
    It was you, it was you Who made my blue eyes blue
    Oh, Never should have trusted you

    I thought that I'd be all you need
    In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven
    And now my heavens gone away
    And I'm out in the cold

    'Cause you had me believing
    You had me believing in a lie
    Guess I couldn't see it
    Guess I couldn't see it till I saw goodbye

    "I Knew" Bonnie Raitt   I played this one a lot right after I left my now-ex.

    I can’t believe I haven’t seen this post yet! I actually made my own support/strength/I will survive playlist last September on Spotify. I call it Dirty Laundry (which has a sad significance). If anyone wants a link send me a private message.

    It’s not geared toward the straight spouse, but really any partner who has been screwed over.

    A great one is an 80s hit by The Thompson Twins called Lies.

    “You told me you love me, so I don’t understand. Why promises are snapped in two - words are made to bend…”
