Hard times...

A very special relationship of mine came to an ugly end this afternoon and I am very, very sad about the whole thing. It was a messed up situation that I was a very large part of, but damn it hurts.
What songs have gotten you through really tough and heartwrenching moments in your life....such as the end of the your best friendship?
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
So just for fun while killing time at work I took a gander at the threads I've started since I started visiting this board.....visitation which is limited to when I'm working by the way. Anyway, stumbled across this one so thought I would give an update on the situation and maybe just maybe someone who is in a similar situation now can gain a little hope....
So me and my friend and a huge fight, time went on and we still weren't speaking. I was having a really hard time with it for a long time...it seemed like an eternity because she had been such a great friend to me.
She was going through a really hard time back around the first of the year and it ate me up inside to know that I couldn't be there for her and to make it harder for me she remained friends with one of my co-workers, which was cool, just kind of made me miss her more.
A couple of months ago though, a light came on and the slate was whiped clean I guess. We've resumed our friendship and it feels so good to have her back in my life. We haven't spoken about all the shit that went down and the things we said to each other and there really is no need to because we both knew the other one didn't want it to be like it was. Maybe it had to be that way though...I don't know.
Just never give up on the people you love and the people who love you back...it's a good thing and some relationships are stronger than any amount of bullshit that can come along

All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

If your looking to get angry and mad and get it all out of the way: Go or Hold on, Why Go, Deep
BTW, that sucks man, we've all been there before.
I hope you can get through this with us
And just remember, PJ is always there for you.
I find I feel better if I turn up some music and sing along.
You probably won't like my choices though..:o
These Are Days from 10,000 maniacs always makes me feel better.
Old REM like Radio Free Europe, Fireplace, Finest Worksong, Cuyahoga and Driver 8
For the love of pete...don't listen to anything sappy and especially anything that has mad you sad in the past.
I hope you find some peace.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
I found songs like Release and Present Tense are some of the best.
I agree... great for any mood! Also, Thumbing My Way has worked for me. Hope things get better for you.
lol jay kay.
Once I get out of this town

ds
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky....
Time Passes
I saw you today, or at least I think it was
It's hard to say, we've all changed so much -
Compelled to look, but I hid my face
It's hard to trace - these feelings
Gone so soon, the time I spent with you
And like an old, old tune-keeps running through my head-
I wanted to say, so many things
But my mouth went dry - and one word & I'd cry.
Slender bride, your beauty shines from you
And forever more, I'll be on your side for sure -
A light in your life, that always burns for you
As time passes.... so quickly.
The final stage, we've both reached some way
As we board our trains to different stations
And the parts we play, and the things we say,
Words on the way - to discovery
To the original poster, my wife left me a few months ago, so I know what you're going through. I wrote and played her a song on our wedding day. Sometimes it seems like it was such a waste of time. You'll get through it though.
- the great Sir Leo Harrison
tough times but ull get through. peace
I like your attitude, kid!
In answer to the original question: If you're looking to get through this hard time instead of wallowing in it, Pearl Jam might not be the best thing for you right now. LOL
Seriously, though, listen to some uplifting stuff like Down, Inside Job, Present Tense. Actually, any Pearl Jam will do you good. Doesn't matter what the lyrics are saying, just the pure energy and feeling in the music can make you feel better in any situation.
Also, I'm not a huge fan of theirs but Coldplay is usually some good break-up music. Especially that song "fix you". Here's the video if you wanna check it out.

Some of their other songs like "The Scientist" will literally make you want to kill yourself.
i'm just extremely lucky that i didn't get to share much Pearl Jam with him!!
Nothingman really worked for me though...
'caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go'...
Well i guess i'm not as tough as i thought i was -
Who wants to fight temptation?....That's no fun...
Angels : Am I ever gonna see your face again ?
Also Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye
Good luck

Thing is, I had spent a good while feeling like she had been mistreating me and even though that might have been true to some extent I was really a bigger asshole in the deal, big time, and I let my hurt feelngs and anger get the best of me.
I popped Ten in the cd player the other night on my way to a basketball game and it eased the pain a little bit, but nothing has helped a whole bunch. I've never felt like such a bastard in my life, but all I can do is hope is time will heal what I've done to her

Hard times spreading just like the flu
Watch out homeboy, don't let it catch you
P-p-prices go up, don't let your pocket go down
When you got short money you're stuck on the ground
Turn around, get ready, keep your eye on the prize
And be on point for the future shock
Hard times
Hard times are coming to your town
So stay alert, don't let them get you down
They tell you times are tough, you hear that times are hard
But when you work for that ace you know you pulled the right card
Hard times got our pockets all in chains
I'll tell you what, homeboy, it don't have my brain
All day I have to work at my peak
Beacuse I need that dollar every day of the weak
Hard times
Hard times can take you on a natural trip
So keep your balance, and don't you slip
Hard times is nothing new on me
I'm gonna use my strong mentality
Like the cream of the crop, like the crop of the cream
B-b-beating hard times, that is my theme
Hard times in life, hard times in death
I'm gonna keep on fighting to my very last breath
!

damn, I am on the cusp of experiencing a very similar event.
I don't know if music will be able to get me through it.
Music, by the way, never helped me a whole bunch aside from keeping my thoughts occupied otherwise
I did mean to say in my update that I was told just to give her time when it all went down and that was hard because I was ready to put it all behind us back then. She just needed more time and while it was so hard for me to wait not knowing if she would ever come back it worked out. Hang in ther CityMouse

Hey, I've been there 2006 I broke up with my fiance after 12 years.
If you want search "12 years down the tubes" tons of great advice
believe speaking from someone who has been there recently....things do get better. It may seem not like that now but it does.
