Isn't it funny when you tune into your favorite radio station or slip in a CD, there is always a song playing that suits your situation or mood? When no longer inspired by 'Stand By Your Man' how many of us girls have danced around the lounge (hopefully on our own) singing at the top of lungs the good old Gloria Gaynor classic 'I Will Survive' or even Anastasia's 'I'm Out Of Love'.
We could inventory a huge list of appropriate songs for the moments when the relationship is in tatters but one of my absolute favorites has got to be a beautiful piece written by James Blunt, 'Goodbye My Lover'. The song tells of a relationship whereby the girl is hooked in the beginning but as time goes by she realizes these feelings are not shared. She leaves her man and it is only then that he decides he cannot live without her. It goes back to the saying "you don't know what you've got till it's gone". There is a message here for all of us here. You must value what you have and treat it with the respect it deserves. Make your efforts during the relationship so you can both benefit. There is little point in trying to make a dash past the post once the race is over.
Of course, once we've gotten over the initial split, have stopped watching 'Bridget Jones Diary' and given up singing 'You Were Meant For Me', we can graduate to the more rocky tunes of 'It's Raining Men' or 'Hit Me With Your Best Shot'. On a visit to your local karaoke bar you will without doubt be entertained by girls and guys that are at various stages of the relationship roller coaster and it won't be hard to spot. They will be the ones with pained expressions on their faces as they try to sing their way through Sinead O'Connor's 'Nothing Compares' which strangely enough reminds them of their once significant other.
There will also be those belting out Tina Turner's 'Simply The Best' and strutting around the stage like the rock diva herself. To add insult to injury you will also get the groups that are out on their hen or stag nights doing a rendition of 'Chapel Of Love' or 'Put Another Log On The Fire' whilst exuding that glow of everlasting love.
Equally, there are simply wonderful songs to suit the relationship when all is rosy. You only need to attend a wedding to see what's in vogue ranging from 'I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing', 'From This Moment On', 'On Bended Knee' or even 'When You Say Nothing At All' from the gorgeous Ronan Keating.
So, whatever your mood or moment, tune into something that suits. If things are not all they should be my suggestion here would be select something upbeat that will inspire you to get off your sofa and get out and meet someone new. If you have shared the same taste in music with your previous partner it's often a good idea to have a bit of a change of tempo. Those old familiar tunes will only serve to hinder your moving on process. You can go back to them again later once you are out of your relationship rehab. If you are happily ensconced in matrimonial or co-habitable bliss then let's hope Shania Twain will blast from your sound system in another five or ten years with 'Still The One'.
