I downloaded these songs using areslite, from areslite.com... probably not the best way to cope, but I like listening to these songs when I post on this board:

1) What She's Doing Now - Garth Brooks: What she's doing now/Is tearing me apart/Filling up my mind/And emptying my heart/I can hear her come/Each time the cold wind blows/And I wonder if she knows/What she's doing now

2) To Make You Feel My Love - Garth Brooks: When the rain's blowing in your face/And the whole world is on your case/I would offer you a warm embrace/To make you feel my love/When the evening shadows in the stars appear/And there is no one to dry your tears/I could hold you for a million years/To make you feel my love/I know you haven't made your mind up yet/But I would never do you wrong/I've known it from the moment that we met/There's no doubt in my mind where you belong/I'd go hungry, I go black and blue/I'd go crawling down the avenue/There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do/To make you feel my love

3) Shameless - Garth Brooks: I'm shameless/When it comes to loving you/I'll do anything you want me to/I'll do anything at all/And I'm standing ever on the rolling sea/Baby, that's what's left of me/DOn't have very far to fall

4) I Don't Have to Wonder Anymore - Garth Brooks: And I still don't know/Why things happened like they did/But I parked that old pickup on that lonesome river bridge/I took your ring from my pocket and I held it one last time/Watched that diamond sparkle/I drew back and let 'er fly/And in less time than it takes a tear to fall/That old ring went under/And now it's gone for sure/No, I don't have to wonder anymore

5) Even Now - Barry Manilow: Even now/When there's someone else who cares/When there's someone home who's waiting just for me/Even now I think about you/As I'm climbing up the stairs/And I wonder what to do so she won't see/That even now/When I know it wasn't right/And I found a better life than what he had/Even now I wake up crying in the middle of the night/And I can't believe it still could hurt so bad

6) It's Only Make Believe - Conway Twitty: I know it's only make-believe/My one and only prayer/Is that someday you'll care/My hopes, my dreams come true/My one and only you/No one will ever know/How much I love you so/My only prayer will be/Someday you'll care for me/But it's only make-believe

7) Broken - Evanescence: 'Cause I'm broken/When I'm open/And I don't feel like I am strong enough/Cause I"m broken/When I'm lonesome/ANd I don't feel right/When you're gone away

8) Better Be Home Soon - Crowded House: Somewhere deep inside/SOmething's got a hold on you/And it's pushing me aside/See it stretch on forever/And I know I'm right for the first time in my life/That's why I tell you/You'd better be home soon/Stripping back the coats of lies and deception/Back to nothingness/Like a week in the desert/And I know I'm right/For the first time in my life/That's why I tell you/You'd better be home soon/So don't say no, don't say nothing's wrong/Cause when you get back home, maybe I'll be gone

9) One More Day - Diamond Rio: Last night I had a crazy dream/A wish was granted just for me/It could be for anything/I didn't ask for money/Or a mansion malibou/I simply wished for one more day with you/One more day, one more time/One more sunset, baby, I'd be satisfied/But then again, I know what it would do/Leave me wishing still for one more day with you

10) Auf Achse - Franz Ferdinan: You see her/You can't touch her/You hear her/You can't hold her/You want her/You can't have her/You want to/But she won't let you/She's not so special, so look you've done, boy

11) Creep - The Cure: When you were here before/Look you in the eye/You're just like an angel/Your skin makes me cry/You float like a feather/In a beautiful world/You're so very special/I wish I were special/But I'm a creep/I'm a weirdo/What the hell am I doing here/I don't belong here/I don't care for love/I wanna have control/I want the perfect body/I want a perfect soul/I want you to notice/When I'm not around

12) Everybody Hurts - REM: When the day is long/And the night is yours alone/When you;re sure you've had enough of this life/Well, hang on/Don't let yourself go/'Cause everybody cries/Everybody hurts/Sometimes

13) Hurt - Johnny Cash: I hurt myself today/to see if I still feel/I focus on the pain/The only thing that's real/The needle tears a hole/The ol' familiar sting/Try to kill it all away/But I remember everything/What have I become/My sweetest friend/Everyone I know goes away in the end/And you could have it all/My empire of dirt/I will let you down/I will make you hurt

14) Indifference - Pearl Jam: I will light the match this morning/So i won't be alone/watch as she lie silent/For soon that will be gone/Oh, I will stand arms outstretched/Pretend I'm free to roam/Oh, I will make my way through one more day/How much difference does it make

15) Love stinks - J Geils Band: You love her/But she loves him/And he loves somebody else/You just can't win/And so life goes/Till the day you die/This thing they call love/Is gonna make you cry/.../One thing for sure, love sticks!

16) Nothing Else Matters - Staind: So close, no matter how far/Couldn't be much more from the heart/Forever trusting who we are/And nothing else matters/I never opened myself this way/Life is ours, we live it our way/All these words I just don't say/And nothing else matters/Trust I seek/And I find in you/Everyday for us something new/Open mind for a different view/and nothing else matters

17) Outside - Staind: I'm on the outside, I'm looking in/I can see through you/See your true colors/Cause inside you're ugly/You're ugly like me/I can see through you/See to the real you/All the times that I felt like this won't end/It's for you/And I taste what I could never have/It was from you/All the times that I've cried/Always wasted/It's all inside/.../And I feel all this pain/Stuffed it down/It's back again/And I lie here in bed/All alone/I can't mend

18) On My Own - Les Miserables: And now I'm all alone again/No where to turn/No one to go to/Without a home/Without a friend/Without a face to say hello to/But now the night is near/And I can make-believe he's here/Sometimes I walk alone at night when everyone is sleeping/I think of him and I'm happy with the company I'm keeping/The city goes to bed/And I can live inside my head

19) Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash: Love is a burning thing/And it makes a firey ring/Bound by wild desire/I fell into a ring of fire/I fell in to a burning ring of fire/I went down, down, down, and the flames went higher/And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire/The ring of fire

20) Sweetness Follows - REM: Readying to burry your father and your mother/What did you htink when you lost another/I used to wonder why did you bother/Distanced from one/Blind to the other/Listen here my sister and my brother/What would you care if you lost the other/I always wondered why did we bother/Distance from one/Blind to the other.../It's these little things they can pull you under...

21) That's Why You Go Away: Michael Learns to Rock: Baby won't you tell me why/There is saddness in your eyes/I don't wanna say goodbye to you/Love is one big illusion/I should try to forget/But there is something left in my head/You're the one who set it up/Now you're the one to make it stop/I'm the one who's feeling lost right now/Now you want me to forget/Every little thing you said/But there is something left in my head/I won't forget the way you're kissing/The feeling's so strong/W lasted for so long/But I'm not the man your heart is missing/That's why you go away I know

Hey A,

Wow, what an eclectic collection....
what about a a few that are a little more upbeat?
there are PLENTY o' songs about love lost out there.... just as there are plenty of upbeat tunes.

J geils band... freeze frame...my father had it on 8 track! This one just makes you want to dance & enjoy life!

REM..... shiney happy people.. no idea what its abut but sounds upbeat and makes people want to dance around

It seems like you have a diverse taste in music...
do you like Pink, Usher, Santana, Stevie Nicks, Stevie Wonder, NIN, Sheryl Crow,Rob Thomas?? They have a lot of great songs about love lost, love gained, & confusing times but aren't as sad as the ones you've downloaded. Heck even Enya has more upbeat tunes..

ps my spelling stinks w/ out spell checker
