music for a broken heart


looks like my girlfriend and i are not going to make it. not because we don't love each other - we do - we simply live too far away from each other and for a couple of very good reasons neither one of us can move. that's enough on that painful topic but i would love to hear people's suggestions regarding music to get me through this very, very difficult time.

thanks,

country music would make anyone suicidel; if they had to hear it more than 30 seconds. how about peter gabriel dont give up. then go find two women tonight. tell her to move to you damnet. if you both no it is right, make it work.
Try Emmylou Harris' "Red Dirt Girl". She says nothing makes her feel better than a really sad song. Also,Tom Waits' "Mule Variations" will serve well to take your mind of just about anything. Good luck.
Nashville Skyline... a good friend of mine banned it from being played in his presence for around six months after he broke up with a long time s/o.

I've spent more than one evening listening to that and Yo La Tengo's And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out with a generous pour of Bookers.
My first suggestion is to examine at what price do you end a relationship that the leading problem is physical distance from each other. If it does not work out I suggest any of the first four Joe Jackson albums. It sounds like this guy never had a positive relationship in his life. The music is very good. Also listen to the first two Pretenders albums. These were what I listened to after my first heartbreaking relationship. It was a while ago.

Do not listen to country or any sappy "love hurts"music. If you really want to feel bad there is a song called "Total eclipse of the heart". I do not remember the artist but it was very popular around the time of my first heartbreaking relationship and I kept hearing it over and over. I hate that tune.

Feel Better. Remember, this is a great time to upgrade your system. Actually, I am not sure if I remember a time that was not a great time to upgrade my system.

Gregg,my recommendation would depend on what you want to achieve.If you just wish to live it through I would suggest 'Cielo e Terra' by Al Di Meola and 'Siroco' by Paco De Lucia.If however you prefer to heighten your instincts to such a degree that nothing would stop you from joining your woman,Miles Davis'Bitches Brew',Mahavishnu Orchestra'Inner Mounting Flame' and 'Castillo de Arena with Paco de Lucia' by Camaron de la Isla could help.
