Funny the ways we have of coping with a bad relationship and eventually getting over the split.
This sort of thing was brought to mind in responding to my post about help with MP3 sites (strangely!)
I was always a big fan of ABBA and it was a shame when they went their separate ways for a while. Eventually there were collaborations with Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber et al ( I love Chess The musical!).
Abba wrote some pretty good stuff about post-rent relationship break ups and the angst-filled hours, weeks and months whilst we go through the healing process.
I've found a few tracks of Angnetha Folktag – mostly powerful ballads about love, longings, unrequited love and the sort of stuff we play when we're feeling sorry for ourselves. Oh yes, that men can be pigs should be set to song! LOL Are you listening? You know who you are, you should be castrated and drowned at birth! LOL
How do others get over the ex? It took me three months or so and a lot of the sort of stuff I just mentioned after Ex II (don't get me started!).
With Ex III, I simply made a huge joke of it all and within two weeks I didn't have or own a shit to give! Wasn't me crying on the phone at 10pm! (“We are Borg, we have adapted!)
I really feel the Ballad of Tom Jones was quite fitting for that relationship, I think it made No 4 in the charts when we were still together.
My lines are in red!
"Ballad Of Tom Jones"
What did I do wrong?
Oh you nearly drove me cuckoo
Am I really all that bad?
You're worse than Hannibal Lechter, Charlie Manson, Freddie Krueger
Why are we still together?
Oh I can't leave until you're dead
You mean 'til death do us part?
I mean like cyanide, strangulation or an axe to your head
It was lucky for us I turned the radio on
They say that music soothes the savage beast
There was something in that voice that stopped us seeing red
The two of us would surely have ended up dead
[Chorus]
You stopped us from killing each other
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
How did you get over yours?
