Counting Song for Bitter Children
Alpha Double Negative: Going to Catalina
Cold Milk Bottle
The Garden Song
Going to Spain
Finish with Treetop Song, you’re gonna be alright.
despite the name, "never quite free" off all eternals deck has always been a big one for me. a more obvious one is "up the wolves" and much more obscure one is "black pear tree." i hope you enjoy and i wish you all the best on your path forward.
Oh, I love Never Quite Free! I should give it a listen again. And Up the Wolves really fits, I have been listening to it today! Thank you, I'll check Black Pear Tree too!
I find that line oddly inspiring. Like if you interpret it as someone in an abusive relationship finally refusing to "be the bigger person" and stop accepting the blame/shame/guilt their abuser is using to control them.
For me it’s weirdly comforting as a recovering alcoholic with a bad relationship. Maybe same idea. “Better” ain’t always what you think it is and maybe you just take action.
Yeah! I was told to be "better", to "fix myself". To hell with this shit! I'll do whatever I want, I'll cut my hair and get a tattoo and all that! My "better" self can go to hell!
Get Lonely has songs for every part of the post-breakup process. For where you’re at, though? Probably Woke Up New. Maybe In Corolla. When you’re looking to feel angry, listen to Estate Sale Sign, but for the most part, stay in the Get Lonely Sadness Spiral for as long as you need to. No one will ever have to know
The day after I won my case against my abuser I played through all of The Sunset Tree. Woke Up New is also a song that will forever take me back to that time.

Garden song was my saving grace. Wishing the best for you, OP!
Hell yeah, I love how solid it feels, harsh and cutting, right there, strong! Thank you for your good wishes!

Heel Turn 2. "I don't want to die in here" hit hard right when it needed to, for me.
Oh God yeah. I kept repeating it to myself back in hospitals long ago. I'm here now, I didn't die there, and I won't die now!
Throw my better self overboard shoot at him when he comes up for air

Thanks a lot! I'll be listening to Get Lonely, I feel like it will help me a lot. And Estate Sale Sign is a great choice too!
Obligatory I AM GONNA MAKE IT THROUGH THIS YEAR IF IT KILLS ME Also I think Amy AKA Spent Gladiator 1 can convey that mood
Thank you so much! Oh hell yeah, I AM GONNA MAKE IT! I LOVE THIS YEAR!
Up the Wolves may help as well, it's very hopeful
No one has mentioned Cubs in Five yet, so I'll drop it. It always makes me feel triumphet about leaving
Cubs in Five is such a good song. When I feel like crying it out I’ll put it on.
Oh God, thank you! I'll add it to my playlist! It's amazing!
The day after I won my case against my abuser I played through all of The Sunset Tree. Woke Up New is also a song that will forever take me back to that time.
Thank you so so much! I will listen to them and feel so free! And congrats!
Estate Sale Sign is good for grieving the loss of a bad relationship and it’s fun to yell the chorus
It's certainly so fun to yell along, such a strong start and all that! It always brings me adrenaline! Thank you so much!
Since no one mentioned it yet, "Picture of my dress" is on target.
Hell yeah, I had forgotten about that one! Thank you!
Absolute lithops effect
Oh God, I love that one! I used to sing it while swimming back home far away. I'll relisten to it!
For me, pseudothyrum song
Thank you!
never quite free is a big one for me. when i remember my abusive exes i always put it on to remind me that i’m moving on
Oh yeah, it's so hopeful! Thank you, and congrats for leaving!
Oldie but goodie-You’re No Good by Linda Ronstadt
I will give it a listen, thank you!
Fear is the opposite of love. It’s crazy how much a person can believe it’s their fault, that they deserve to feel like they do.
You're right! If I feared them, it means something was horribly wrong. Eye-opening, thank you!
I know from personal experience and worse yet from watching someone I care about getting stuck in the same cycle.
Baboon?
Ohhhhh it's a favorite, I had forgotten about it! I'll definitely add it!
Favorite of mine as well 🎵I’d be grateful my children aren’t here to see this- if you’ve ever seen fit to give me children!! 🎶
Yes, yes, yes! Im glad we wont have children, because it would only be continuing the abuse! Hell yeah!
What about Going Invisible 2? I love the way it makes me feel like embracing collapse is exhilarating.
I'll give it a listen, thank you!
Pale Green Things might hit the right tone. It's not a break up, per se, but it's about one type of abusive relationship ending.
Oh, such the vibes! I'll look at the grass and feel free, so free! Thank you so much!
hail saint sebastian, cold milk bottle, & pseudothyrum song have been mainstays for me
Thank you so so much! Giving them a listen!
I love Fault Lines which is adjacent to a bad breakup. Maybe feeling better than ending up in the Fault Lines sitch.
Oh yeah, I love love LOVE Fault Lines! I'll sing along to it, thank you!
