Grounds for Divorce by Elbow.

Didn't Phil Collins write this song about his divorce???

"Cheaper to Keep Her" - Johnny Taylor

Best divorce song ever.....

U2 - One.

Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame?
You say...

One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love?
And you want me to go without?
Well it's...

Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...

Have you come here for forgiveness ?

Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much?
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

haha!!

A little bit of a stretch, but I couldn't resist a Michael McDonald 2-for-1 post.

Janis Ian is one of my heroes...

Getting Over You...

Borrowed pens on dotted lines
Sign our past away.
This is yours and that is mine,
So the papers say.

How can you move so quickly?
How can you heal so fast?
And what will I do with my mornings?
And what will I do with my nights?

This is my all time favorite thread!

Thank you for all your posts. Some songs made me cry, laugh or were so confronting.

My contribution for myself and all the other d.i.v.o.r.c.e.e.s.

This one is relevant too

Just love this song

How could I ever forget:

Album of Nick Cave - Let Love In.

I started out this weekend being nervous for the courtday, now I'm just busy with listening to all this divorce inspired music.

And that's a lot! Divorcing is actually a lot of work. And slowly the listening to the music part is my favorite part. I know I will cherish this weekend over a decade. Will remember all your contributions and the "o yeah, I forgot about that song" to "Wow, didn't know this one" to "Cry..Wahahahaha.."

First one that came to my mind. Still an incredible song even after all these years. In fact, listening to this, it just becomes ever clearer just how horrible her output the last 6 years has been. She has to go back to writing actual song.

My favourite Madonna song of all time.
