Listen to Adele's "Someone Like You" if you want a painful passionate and REAL song --
a song that tells you the singer has been INSIDE a sad situation
25, not sure if you know this.
Adele has been interviewed about this song (and it's respective album, which is specifically themed). You should be able to find video of it or news references on that video web site.
Anyhow, the album is based on Adele being a WAS (she was). The song is described by her as coming out of the fog for a moment, finding her exBF with someone else, and her expressing herself herself about the grief she realizes she holds from the lost R.
Like I said, not sure if you knew that, hard to tell from your post, so just putting it out there...

I would also add "No more Drama" by Mary J. Blige Uh, it feel so good When you let go Of all the drama in your life Now you're free from all the pain Free from all the game Free from all the stress So find your happiness I don't know Only God knows where the story ends for me But I know where the story begins It's up to us to choose Whether we win or loose And I choose to win
M:(f) 35 W: 45 3 dogs and 2 cats T: 9 years 9/30/11 I love you, but I'm not in love with you OW confirmed 12/23/11
Speaks to me: You Were Meant For Me by Jewel. I would cry and sing that one over and over.
Also speaks to me: Jimmy Eat World's The Middle, because I am the middle child of seven girls, and know how it feels to be looked down on by some of them because I am so different from them. This one also makes me feel better!
Banned: Anything and Everything of Faith Hill's. H and ow apparently loved her music, so it makes me sick to my stomach. vc
Great idea, 25! Speaking of B.B. King, he also wrote a lot of great "kiss-off" songs, too. My favorite in this category is "I'll Survive" because it's not as angry as stuff like "The Thrill is Gone" or "Ain't Nobody Home":
You say you're leaving, you've shattered my dreams All of our plans dear, forgotten it seems Yes, it had to happen I'm not surprised, but I'll, I'll survive
Your friends have shown you a much better way All of my loving you baby, all of those years, ended today Yes, you go on darlin' I'll dry my eyes, but I'll, I'll survive
Go on! May God bless you It was fun. While it was fun Baby, I hate to lose you I say I hate to lose you baby
It's all over! What's done is done Hey! you go on darlin', seek your fortune and fame All your good luck or bad luck Your friends must take the blame Oh! I can't beg you no more baby I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive
Oh, go on! May God bless you Oh, it was fun. While it was fun Oh baby, I hate to lose you I say I hate to lose you baby
It's all over! What's done is done Hey! You go on baby, seek your fortune and fame All your good good luck or bad luck Friends must take the blame Oh! I can't beg you no more I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive
Oh! I'll, I'll survive Baby, I'll survive
Sara Evan's "A Little Bit Stronger" is a great one, too.
I had several "playlists" while going through my sitch that I listened to, depending on my mood.
When feeling empowered: Mean by Taylor Swift Irreplaceable by Beyonce Best Thing I Never Had by Beyonce Goodbye Earl by Dixie Chicks Hole in My Head by Dixie Chicks Wide Open Spaces by Dixie Chicks Pray for You by Jaron and the Long Road to Love (this song is hysterical!) You'll Think of Me by Keith Urban Goodbye by Kristina DeBarge Ridin' Solo by Jason Derulo and OF COURSE!!! I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor
Songs when I needed to cry: Blessings by Laura Story Chasing Pavements by Adele Heal the Wound by Point of Grace Make You Feel My Love by Adele Mountain of God by Third Day The Story by Brenda Carlile Ghost by Indigo Girls
Ones I Still Have Trouble Hearing: Last Tears by Indigo Girls (EVERYONE ON THIS BOARD SHOULD LISTEN TO THIS!) Baby Hold On by Dixie Chicks Chances by Five for Fighting Coming Home by Diddy Everybody Knows by Dixie Chicks Hard to Say I'm Sorry by Chicago For the First Time by the Script It Ain't Over Til It's Over by Lenny Kravitz You Were Meant for Me by Jewel 100 Years by Five for Fighting
I obviously love many different kinds of music, and my lists are much, much longer...these are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head!
