"My Immortal" by Evanessence
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

XMM and I really liked Norah Jones. The first day we snuck off together we listened to the whole CD. Just danced and talked. After the A ended everytime I heard Norah I was a wreck.
Since I really like Norah and I didn't want to stop playing her CD's, I decided to create some new memories. H and I were together one day, with Norah playing softly in the background. Now when I hear her I smile and think of my H.
The mind, it's a funny thing sometimes.
Initially, it was an old Carly Simon song that reminded me of him the most: "So Much Fun to Be With" and then it b/c a host of others: Barry White, REM, Pink Floyd (breathe, breathe in the air; don't be afriad to care; leave, don't leave me) and especially Smashmouths "Satellite" (i can see you floating by me; you've got a beautiful face that's pointed straight up to the smog;. . . you pushed the reset button on the counter of my heart." Then there was Tom Petty "here comes my girl"--there is a line in that song that says: "we ain't going to never change our minds about it".
But it was the "you pushed the reset button on the counter of my heart"--that started it all. It really said alot: Married man, married 12 years, same as me, and he and i wished we both could just press the restart button and start over.
Can't think about these songs today. Too hard. Funny. In 18 years, my H and i NEVER had a song; not even one little, itty, bitty ditty. Oh well.
Everything is still brand new. The first song we shared and when I hear it I break down is "Again" by Lenny Kravitz. Then there's "Uninvited" by Alanis Morrisette, "Bring Me to Life" by Evanessence, "Addicted" by Enrique Iglesias, "Why Can't I Breathe" by Liz Phair, and a host of others but those are the primary songs that when I hear them tears me apart.

What about movies? I recently rented "The End of the Affair" with Julianne Moore and Ralph Fiennes and LOVED it. Have any of you seen it? I watched it through twice (alone of course!)
Gonna to take a vacation stop chasing what I lack
Am i going to blown off as soon as I get back?
and then later:
It's been so long, since you've been a friend to me
What happened, when did you let go of me?
I miss you so badly
In short: he went away to Italy and i ended it the second he got back; later i went away for a month (trying to take a vacation to stop chasing what i lack).
Anyway, Liz Phair is the best. I love her alot. See her often in concert. I am her absolute biggest fan.

Girl,
Its been a long time that we've been apart.
Much too long for a man who needs love.
I miss you since I've been away.
Babe,
It wasn't easy to leave you alone
It's getting harder each time that I go
If I had the choice I would stay.
There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you.
I imagine the things we'll do.
I just wanna be loved by you.
Girl,
There are really no words strong enough
To describe all my longing for love
I don't want my feelings restrained.
Oh Babe, I just need you like never before
Just imagine you'd come through this door
You'd take all my sorrow away
There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do.
I just wanna be loved by you
There's no one like you!
UGH! Just typing this put a pit in my stomach large enough to drive a truck through. Love, Maureen
momesq1991,
I LOVE 80's rock and definitely know that song which is a good one. Another song I know that will ruin my day would be "Everytime I Look at You" by Kiss. Also the song "Midnightblue" by the lead singer from the group "Bad Company" (hence my name and I can't think of the man's name off-hand from the band) I don't mind giving my age, it's 33 (will be 34 next month).
Anyway, I think we all have our songs that were within the relationship but I also think depending on how we're feeling at any given moment or day that ANY song that fits could cause emotion. I know it does for me, even if it's not a song that represented my A.

As for my songs....gosh, TOO many to name....here are a few that get me going:
"All I want" and "The last time I saw Richard"--Joni Mitchell
"The Scientist" and "Trouble" and "Green Eyes" by Coldplay
and the list goes on and on.....
still head banging after all these years,

Yes, you are right about Lou Gramm. Shame on me for not remembering. 80's all the way!! Yes, the list goes on for me too! I can't tell you how many daydreams and scenerios I created in my mind with each and every song. When things were real bad in my home, I would retreat to my fantasy world. Now, that my divorce is here and reality has come full force those fantasies now cause me pain.
