A few weeks after BD, when I could listen to music again, I created a breakup playlist. It was full of sentimental music and I couldn't listen to anything upbeat, but I did add a few over time. I stopped listening to the playlist after about 3 months. My listening habits now have reverted to my pre-BD days.
I wish everybody knew What's so great about you Oh, but your love is such a swamp You don't think before you jump I said I wouldn't cry again I guess I did
Other notable songs from the playlist.
Joey, Concrete Blonde Mr. Brightside, The Killers Just another girl, The Killers Hard enough, Brandon Flowers Heartbreak warfare, John Mayer Who's gonna ride your wild horses, U2
Ironically, a song that we listened to a lot the previous summer was "The writing's on the wall" by OK GO (they have the best videos). It's about a guy noticing that his couple is just about done. I would shake my butt and sing along for months, clueless. I even posted the video on Facebook and I post like six times a year.
It's interesting to discover each others' personality through these musical choices.
