Topic Time: post break-up

So, after doing the break-up post deely, i noticed a few great songs much more geared to the pain and problems after the initial shock/trauma/pain/general crapness. If it meant something, then it can hurt a long time after, sometimes surprisingly long...

# Take Me Away - Plain White T's

I only found this song more recently, and thanks to Amazon estimating 2-4 weeks for the album to arrive, it's all i've got for a lil while. But i love this song. It's brilliant! It's not of the addictive 'i cant listen to anything else' variety, but, its just GOOD. Very good =) Hehe, yknow, it's nice having reltable songs, even if they are in regards to Katie, heh. For those who don't know me so well, i seem to know a few katie's, and it gets confusing between them, but, one word's all you get for each :P
I just, im not one of these people who feels "this was written for me", but, it just fits? And i'm sure it does to at least a few of you too. Confusion, anger, pain, all brought on by having to confront an ex with her new bloke.

"I thought she was perfect, she thought i was perfect too, perfect until she found someone new"


# Hello Tomorrow - Zebrahead

I love Zebrahead with a fiery passion. They mix such great bouncy tunes with fantastic lyrics. They deliver both agression and subtlety, as well as a relaxed more humorous side. This song is all about getting over the ex. It's over, although "We may never find the answers, or know the reason why, why we both decided we should say goodbye". That lovely confusion and lost feeling when its just suddenly over. But now it's DONE and it's time to focus on dealing with it. Not there quite yet "I'm still waiting for tomorrow, tired of living in yesterday, i've been waiting, waiting for the day i'd be over you" but definately working on it =)

"Say goodbye now and mean it forever, gotta move on and keep it together, forget the things that you've said and you've done, that's in the past, here comes the sun..."



# Brand New Baby - Semisonic

A much calmer responce than Plain White T's when confronted with her new guy. It's a nice defiance, just, getting on with it, much like Zebrahead. Heh. There is i guess on a limited amount of song types for this topic, id say sad/hurt (obviously), angry, indifferent/defiant or happy? ["Waking up all alone waking up so relieved" - Radio, Alkaline Trio] On a side note, the song comes from Semisonics first album proper, Great Divide, which may not compare to their main two albums, but is definately worth a gander. Or a listen. Yea....

"Well if it makes you happy now, I guess that's great, i guess you're not mine."


# One Year, Six Months - Yellowcard

I went through a phase of just sitting in my room crying to this song. It's weird, because, however nice it can be looking back at something you once had, it can be so insanely painful bringing yourself back to reality afterwards. But that's what makes this song so beautiful. That wonderful mix of pleasure/pain, happy/sad, that in reality all our lives are filled with. It's not a simple case of happy memories, or sad memories, time and circumstances change that, and songs which evoke strong emotions of any kinda are always nice and refreshing for me. *sobs* :P

"So many nights, legs tangled tight, wrap me up in a dream with you..."
