I was in a Spar earlier & this song was playing that I hadn't heard in a few years. Last time I listened to it (too much to be good for me at the time) was when my ex left with our daughter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoAPw-eJuYo When I got home I decided to have a look at my old favorites folder on Youtube & see what…

When I got home I decided to have a look at my old favorites folder on Youtube & see what ones I have saved that connected with where I was in life at the time.

2 meloncoly examples for me:

First time in trying to sort things out & letting others help. I'd never asked for help before, nobody thought I'd last listening & taking advice from others but I was in a heap and knew I was a goner. This was one of the most popular songs on the radio at the time. Used to use it as a mantra lying in bed trying to get some sleep when my head was all over the place.

From my first trek back from the brink, still 50/50 on how much I cared at the time.

Any examples of songs that reflected a situation you were going through at the time?
