Music to cry by :)

Add yours, please. It helps me to wallow a bit.

Yesterme Yesteryou Yesterday
Stevie Wonder

What happened to the world we knew
When we would dream and scheme
And while the time away?
Yesterme, yesteryou, yesterday

Where did it go that yester glow
When we could feel
The wheel of life turn our way?
Yesterme, yesteryou, yesterday

I had a dream so did you
Life was warm and love was true
Two kids who followed all the rules
Yester fools and now
Now it seems those yester dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we used to play

Yesterme, yesteryou, yesterday

When I recall what we had
I feel lost I feel sad with nothing but
The memory of yester love and now
Now it seems those yester dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we had to play

Yesterme, yesteryou, yesterday

Yesterme, yesteryou, yesterday
Sing with me
Yesterme, yesteryou, yesterday
One more time.....

Gotta love the evil devil woman convincing him to leave his lover. All such women should be ... ended. And there's a lot of them. treetrunkers...

50 Ways To Leave Your Lover
Paul Simon

"The problem is all inside your head", she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

She said it's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
About the fifty ways

She said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Anything But Down
Sheryl Crow

I light your cigarettes
I bring you apples from the vine
How quickly you forget
I run the bath and pour the wine
I bring you everything that floats into your mind

But you don't bring me anything but down
You don't bring me anything but down
You don't bring me anything but down
When you come 'round

You are a raging sea
I pull myself out everyday
I plea insanity
Cause I can't leave but I can't stay
You say, won't you come find me and yes is what I say

You don't bring me anything but down
You don't bring me anything but down
Everything is crashing to the ground

Maybe I'm not your perfect kind
Maybe I'm not what you had in mind
Maybe we're just killing time

You with your silky words
And your eyes of green and blue
You with your steel beliefs
That don't match anything you do
It was so much easier before you became you

You don't bring me anything but down
You don't bring me anything but down
Everything just crashes to the ground
When you come around
When you come around

No more playing seek and hide
No more long and wasted nights
Can't you make it easy on yourself

I know you wish you were strong
You wish you were never wrong
Well, I got some wishes of my own

Best I Ever Had
Vertical Horizon

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring

Nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had

So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely

Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't need me back
You're just the best I ever had

And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You're always right

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring

What was it you wanted
Could it be I'm haunted

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
I don't want you back
You're just the best I ever had
The best I ever had
The best I ever

Leave
Matchbox 20

It's amazing
How you make your face just like a wall
How you take your heart and turn it off
How I turn my head and lose it all

It's unnerving
How just one move puts me by myself
There you go just trusting someone else
Now I know I put us both through hell

I'm not saying there wasn't nothing wrong
I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me
I'm now saying we ever had the right to hold on
I just didn't wanna let it get away from me

But if that's how it's gonna leave
Straight out from underneath
Then we'll see who's sorry now
If that's how it's gonna stand, when
You know you've been depending on
The one you're leaving now
The one you're leaving out

It's aggravating
How you threw me on and you tore me out
How your good intentions turn to doubt
The way you needed time to sort it out

I'm not saying there wasn't nothing wrong
I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me
I'm now saying we ever had the right to hold on
I just didn't wanna let it get away from me

But if that's how it's gonna leave
Straight out from underneath
Then we'll see who's sorry now
If that's how it's gonna stand, when
You know you've been depending on
The one you're leaving now
The one you're leaving out

The one you're leaving now
The one you're leaving out

I'm not saying there wasn't nothing wrong
I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me

But if that's how it's gonna leave
Straight out from underneath
Then we'll see who's sorry now
If that's how it's gonna stand, when
You know you've been depending on
The one you're leaving now
The one you're leaving out

Tell me is that how it's going to end
When you know you've been depending on
The one you're leaving now
And the one you're leaving out

The one you're leaving now
The one you're leaving out

LOL...You do have the special cheer-up-phoenix potion. Can I buy that, online? 😛

I love "Already Gone", "Go Your Own Way", and "You Give Love a Bad Name". The others I've never heard. Therefore I must immediately call and purchase this amazing collection of treetrunkoff music, as sometimes treetrunkoff music really does make a person feel better. 😛

Thanks Sweet-P...you'll never believe it but I love White Flag and also The Sea. The others I've not heard yet. I should really buy the David Gray cds...I know I like him, but I've only heard maybe two songs he's done. I love the lyrics.

Phoenix, in this your most clouded hour, you do not need music to cry by, but music to laugh by. Download "We all live in a Yellow Submarine." (The Beatles if I'm not mistaken) Very good track, it will lighten the mood, If you want some inspiration, I'd suggest some Rush, anything by them is stellar. Crying Sucks, Laughing Rocks.

*jots down Rush = Stellar 🙂
*jots down The Great Beyond = Uplifting

Thanks Capricorn Guy & Sweet-P. I must say that I see both of your points. Why wallow, I know. But I can identify with Sweet-P also. In a weird way it feels better to be as sad as you can for as long as you have to. It's a release, or it help you to release a person.

I don't know...this whole being heartbroken thing is already seemingly going to last forever. I actually woke up in tears this morning...how sad is that— Ick. I also ...and I will post this on the dreams board...but I also had the weirdest dreams last night. I dreamt of two of my old guy friends, one of whom I had a relationship with and one of whom I never did, but we always were on the edge of getting together. In my dream, the one I never had the relationship with was kissing me, over and over again for the longest time, and saying nothing. It was so odd. It wasn't really even that sexual, either. It's like he was just trying to make a connection with me, or something. A Libra, no less...Ha. 😛 I'll post more about it on the dreams board though.

BTW, I meant to also mention that I very much like REM. "Everbody Hurts"...now there's a song to cry to. But yet, it's comforting...
