I had to eliminate many of my favorite bands for over a year, because so much of their music was about heartache and wanting her back. But then there were songs that took on new meaning and could bring me to tears (Yesterday from the Beatles). I relied on music that was about moving on and going it alone. Thank you Tom Petty!

We listened to a lot of Indie and Alternative music when we were married.Made me sick to listen to it. Started listening to more Hip-Hop and Hard Rock seem to make me angry. What really made me start liking and Listening to music again was electronic music it really made me happy and I even had an awesome summer going to a couple music festivals.

Some good news, the songs that made me sad over the ex have become my favourites again with my new wife, and even more so

Hahahha dude. I swear I had never heard or experienced music until she moved out. All the sudden the words have meaning. I find myself emotionally experiencing music for the first time in my life.

Yes sir. I get it. Music is and always was huge in my life. I 'am' or 'was' a musician playing in bands for over 30 years.

Music is a strong connection to our feelings as humans. That's why it's existed for centuries. It evokes a reaction from us whether we like it or we don't.

Personally I have a huge list of songs I love but can't listen to anymore because they were tied to my Ex. I don't seek them out and if they happen on the radio I change the station.

On the other hand I'm now listening to other styles of music I never did before. Why? Because the lyrics and messages fit my feelings after the divorce. It's who I am now and it resonates with me and where I am in my life.
