Divorce is one of the saddest things that could ever happen to a person's life. Although it remains one of the real possibilities in any marriage, it is also one of the most painful processes couples go through. Good thing there is music to soothe the soul of any divorcee! It may not actually help put the marriage back together (especially without the effort of those involved) but the catharsis it brings can soothe the burning feelings of all those going through these tough times.
Here are some of the songs that we think are perfectly applicable to any divorce situation together with the reasons why we like them:
l 'Nothing Compares 2 U' by Sinead O'Connor: Although some sites for some reason rank this as one of the best wedding songs of all time (for some odd reason considering how utterly depressing it is), this is one tearjerker that everyone who had a turbulent relationship used to bawl over in the 90s. It's also consistently voted one of the greatest songs of the decade.
l 'How Could An Angel Break My Heart' by Toni Braxton: Infidelity is a painful experience transcending gender, race or class. The video of this song depicts an interracial affair but listeners from all walks of life can relate to Toni Braxton's plaintive voice on this track.
l 'In The Real World' by Roy Orbison: This song is heavier than a sumo wrestler backflipping onto your chest and tells of how reality can complicate things in spite of honest intentions and emotions. Very highly recommended with the lights down and the volume up.
l 'That's the Way I've Always Heard it Should Be' by Carly Simon: Kids have a way of complicating divorces to the point of it becoming unbearable. Just ask Carly.
l 'Lost Cause' by Beck: The perfect remedy for all the lost causes in your life that you're so tired of fighting for. Pun intended.
l 'Always On My Mind' by Elvis Presley: This is for the ex that you wish you could mend stuff with and you still love. Aaaw. It was the divorce song of Elvis and Priscilla so how could you go wrong?
Divorce may be a really tiring and sad affair but don't worry! A bright tomorrow is right around the corner.
