I need good Breakup/ I am Strong music recs
My sister left her SO last spring. He still hasn't left her alone. He keeps begging, pleading and trying to buy her back. I want to make her a CD that she can listen to when she forgets why she left him.
Here's a few songs I have so far:
Joey+Rory, Cheater Cheater
Reba, Room to Breathe
Sara Bareilles, King of Anything
Roy Orbison, It's Over
Let me know if there's anything you can think of, or that make you feel like a strong, independent person.
Re: I need good Breakup/ I am Strong music recs
Great idea! I'm sure she'll enjoy it.
My suggestions:
"Gotta Get Up From Here", Ellie Lawson
"Spinning Off", Terri Hendrix
"Hole in My Pocket", Terri Hendrix
"Who Needs You", Terri Hendrix (see a trend here? Terri's got a ton of strong, independent woman songs. Also check out "Walk on Me", "Fair", and "Flowers.")
"Having Trouble With the Language", Billie Myers
And it's not woman-specific, but "Follow The Light" by Travis is one of my favorite pick yourself up, dust yourself off songs.
I am woman, hear me roar (literally has "I am strong, I am invincible" in it)
I will survive ("go on now go, walk out the door")
You don't own me (from dirty dancing) (I'm young, and I love to be young! I'm free, and I love to be free!)
I'm going to have these in my head for the rest of the day.
"There is a fine line between a princess and a witch...thinking you're one does NOT give you the right to act like the other." my grandmother
Ahahaha. I have no suggestions, but I love this idea! I might just steal it ... and give one to my sister who hasn't quite broken up with her douchebag boyfriend. Maybe this will help her out
P.S. What a good sister you are!
Lots of Kelly Clarkson songs . . . because of you, walkaway, etc.
"Don't Fence Me In" David Byrne
"Dilate" (the whole album, not just the title song) Ani Difranco
Given more time to think about it, I could probably come up with another dozen (or more!) Ani songs that fit the bill.
For real, though!
What about "Irreplaceable" by Beyonce?
