Well, congratulations! It’s Valentine’s day! The single day a year that I know, without a doubt, I am going to wake up wearing my crabby pants and likely will wear them all day. For one reason or another, music is always my chosen avenue for therapy, and I always have a soundtrack to my life. As tempted as I am to throw in Adele today, I’m not going to do it! I love Adele, and 21 got me through some rough months when a certain past someone was engaged and married and I was forced to deal with the emotions of our breakup prior to that (probably the most I will ever openly speak about my feelings on that subject, so this is a red letter day for you), but today is a Tuesday in the middle of February. It doesn’t deserve that much emotion. Plus, considering I already almost cried over my breakfast when the server brought out my “vegetarian” breakfast sandwich chock full of bacon, well… I don’t need to go to that sad place today. So just for you, I have put together an alternative 10 song playlist for today. Each song comes with an “Emma Pillsbury self help pamphlet” type title (Glee reference, for those of you not in-the-know), so you can easily choose which song will be your anthem today if you are not happy about Valentine’s Day.
1-SO SOME WENCH STOLE YOUR MAN
2-SO YOUR MOTHER TAUGHT YOU NOT TO USE HYPERBOLES WHILE SPEAKING, BUT YOU REALLY DISLIKE SOMEONE
3-SO YOU WANT A MEANER TAKE ON SOMEONE LIKE YOU BY ADELE
4-SO YOU WANT TO BREAK UP WITH SOMEONE TOMORROW AND DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO IT (PLEASE DON’T DO IT TODAY)
(the Paul Simon version wouldn’t post, so you get Rosemary)
5-SO YOU’RE A NARCISSISTIC JERK AND CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHY YOUR EX DOESN’T WANT TO TALK TO YOU, AND PAINTING YOURSELF LIKE A HARLEQUIN DOLL MAKES YOU MOODY AND ARTISTIC
6-SO YOU’RE LIVING IN A POWDERKEG AND GIVING OFF SPARKS
7-SO YOU HAVE A STALKER AND YOU WANT THEM TO GET THE CLUE
8-SO YOU LET YOURSELF BE A VICTIM OF A PLAYER AND ALSO LOVE TUTUS
9-SO YOU WANT TO KILL THE GIRL YOU ASKED OUT TONIGHT
10-SO ALL YOU REALLY WANT TO DO IS THINK OF ANYTHING THAT IS HAPPY AND NOT ROMANCE RELATED
The last one is my personal favorite. If you love Harry Nilsson and really want to drive the point home with your anger, and don’t mind hearing the F word, an honorable mention for the list is his song called You’re Breaking My Heart, but it’s not clean enough for my personal blog standards. Good luck with the rest of your day! 🙂
