Sad songs to scream your lungs out to!!

Have you ever had your heart so broken you just wanted to scream? Or had a friend hurt you and you were so angry you didn't know what to do? You can't lash out at them, or anyone else for that matter, so what do you do?

I listen to music full blast and I feel the lyrics deeply. The music I listen to helps me to go through the stages. When I am very hurt I turn to:

Fleurie - Hurts Like Hell

Many other times I just breath the words in like some type of magic vapor hoping it will act as some type of salve on my heart and help heal the tear deep in my soul:

Sia - Breath Me

It can take many days and many songs to make me feel stronger. And it comes and goes in waves. I can go from heart aching to angry in 3.5 seconds so there's nothing like a little slow piano music and a beautiful voice to help me cope:

Evanescence - My Immortal

I often turn to songs that will cradle me, and let me be a wreck. One thing about music, it doesn't judge you when you are feeling crazy and desperate for that one person you loved and lost:

Ex:Re - The Dazzler

After a while, days, weeks, months you start to feel the anger of being left behind. You see them with another in your mind and it just is too much.

Daughter - Love

When the pain becomes so unbearable that you just are left with raw emotions, anger and realization of abandonment you might turn to songs you can scream out at the top of your lungs.. I know I do.

Patti Smith - Pissing in the River

You might even go through emotions of wanting to hurt the one who spurned you, and although you never would, it still is a stage you gotta go through.

Gayle - Abcdefu

Music is so powerful. It can calm and sooth you, enrage you, and grab you inside and rip your guts out. I firmly believe music can heal but it's not instantaneous, it takes time. So if you need to, go somewhere you can be alone. Put your music on as loud as you want and scream to the high heavens. Scream out your PAIN, you ANGER, and your REGRET. Bathe in your LOSS but don't forget how hard you tried and how they gave up. Self Blame should only be a limited stop on the way to finally letting go. I'm not there yet. Letting go is never easy for someone like me. Letting go of the dream. Sometimes you have to go through the begging God (or whoever) stage too. They call this the LDE (last ditch effort). Eventually you have to accept the reality. Music helps.

Roland Faunt - Happy Life

This is just how I cope, especially since I am alone 95% of the time. Try it next time (which I hope you never are) heartbroken, angry or upset. Let the music give you what you need because it will. In the old days (back in the 1980s) they had a thing you could go to called "Life Training" and it had a part where you would sit by yourself and think of what hurt you or made you angry and you were instructed to just Yell as loud as you could the word NO!! It was called the "NO Process".. I did it and it worked, I let go of some heavy anger I had at my mother for making the neighbors tell us kids she was dying instead of doing it herself. So music is easier than locking yourself away in your car and doing a no process, I think.

Anyway, this is just my 2 cents, your mileage may vary as they say... So thanks for reading! - Sam
