so this thread is dedicated to suggesting music for any given situation anyone is going through in a relationship, whether it be the happiest of times or the worst of times. Relationships can make us feel like we could conquer worlds or they can make us feel like we should commit suicide (hopefully not), and this thread can be dedicated to each. Music can help us through these situations and in fact characterize these situations, so I felt like making a thread for it might be useful... let's see
so, currently I'm going through a break up of a relationship that has lasted for three and a half years. I'm the one breaking it off, but it still feels shitty (and there's a lot of cheating involved, which includes nurses (for the Hospice in the list below)). Any suggestions for albums or songs that would compliment the ones posted (which reflect my mood) would be appreciated...
Joanna Newsom-'Good Intentions Paving Company'
Spiritualized-Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space
Animal Collective-'Cuckoo Cuckoo'
Antlers-Hospice
Broken Social Scene-You Forgot It In People
Pink Floyd- 'Wish You Were Here'

wow, that fucking sucks. Although, are you more sad then angry or vise versa? I'll give you some albums to listen to when I find out. _________________ sig
