Madonna songs to cure heartbreak


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, right now I'm going through a heartbreak, my girlfriend and I are about to  break up after more than one and a half years (yes, I am a straight Madonna fan). I wanted to ask you guys if you could help me put together a playlist of Madonna songs that will help me go through this hard time. I was listening to You'll See all day and also played Unapologetic Bitch a few times, Heartbreakcity also works. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance :-)

It depends on why you are breaking up. If there is no guilt such as cheating et al and you are just growing apart, try mid-tempo or up-tempo cool songs like 'Voices', 'Ray of Light', 'Impressive Instant', 'Jump', 'Devil Pray', 'Die Another Day', 'Music', 'Vogue', 'Nobody Knows Me', 'Bedtime Story', 'Nobody's Perfect', '4 Minutes', and also cheerful '80s songs such as 'Into the Groove', 'Holiday', 'Material Girl', 'Who's That Girl?', and 'Causing a Commotion'. None of these songs have the subject matter of love, just put them on and have fun or just feel better about yourself.

 

If you are heartbroken, but in a good conscience and know that you are right, you need more in-your-face, strengthening songs. Then follow these: 'Express Yourself', 'Sorry', 'You'll See', 'Live to Tell', 'Frozen', 'Human Nature', 'Papa Don't Preach', 'Living for Love', 'Devil Wouldn't Recognize You', 'Thief of Hearts', 'Gang Bang', and to a certain extent 'Take a Bow'.

 

Avoid from fragile sad songs such as 'One More Chance', 'The Look of Love', 'I Want You', 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore', 'The Power of Good-Bye', 'Gone', 'Best Friend', or happy love songs that will remind you of your good days such as 'Cherish', 'True Blue', 'Crazy for You', 'Borderline', 'Lucky Star', 'Hung Up', 'I Deserve It', 'Open Your Heart', 'Messiah' etc.

 

Though I do not recommend to those heartbroken much, I feel better when I listen to growing apart songs such as 'Love Spent' and 'Falling Free' as well.

 

I hope this helps you a little bit, and you will feel much better soon.

Living for love:

After the heartache I'm gonna carry on

 

 

I'll remember:

Say goodbye to not knowing how to cry, you taught me that

 

 

Time stood still:

Despair, regret and tenderness is what I feel for you

 

 

To me Hey You came in a special moment of my life:

Hey, you, don't you give up

It's not so bad

There's still a chance for us

 

Hey, you, just be yourself

Don't be so shy

There's reasons why it's hard

Turancan covers it but I think it's best to lean into whatever you're feeling rather than avoid. I have to fall apart for a time and experience whatever I'm feeling for a little while and then I can move on.

 

I would listen to One More Chance if that is what I am feeling. It's cleansing to do that if it does not turn into obsession.

 

It really depends on the situation of the break up. If they thought they were all I had I would listen to You'll See. If they were horrible to me I would listen to a more empowering song...if I still loved them I would have to listen to something to acknowledge that if only to honor my own feelings. It's not good to repress.

 

If you allow to be off topic for a second. Songbird by Fleetwood Mac is one of the most loving mature break up songs ever written. I will list Madonna songs later on. Got to get back to work!

I avoided Ghosttown for several months following my breakup. It was our song of two years. One, it was a feat to get a country girl who instantly fell in love with a Madonna song to represent us, two it just represented our whole relationship too well. I had a mesh of songs that changes depending on my mood. When I was angry I'd listen to the darker songs Heartbreak City. When I was feeling lonely and missing her I listened to Best Friend or I F*cked Up. When I thought about how the break up really was inevitable and I hadn't seen it coming I went for Miles Away and when I found out she had already latched onto someone new there was always She's Not Me. When I felt like I was getting over it I went for Living For Love, X-Static Process, etc.
