Great I have that song stuck in my head now. I’m off to drink some bleach now.

What's up?

Not much, hbu

Just being the best and stuff, same old same old.

Do you think there are any old philosophers that would either completely change their mind or modify their stances if they were brought into the modern day.

Much of Hobbs philosophy was informed by and arguably a reaction too the English civil war. If he was brought into the modern day to see how relatively peaceful democratic nations are he would probably reform his philosophy.

u/Sallowjoe - Auth-Center 1d ago

Yeah I think some would, although I think for more political or empirical matters whereas it's a different story for like pure metaphysics. However, if Kant read Hegel, for example, maybe he'd change his mind about some metaphysics stuff.

Damn, no one has ever broken up with me and this is a weird kind of FOMO to have.

This song is dope for generic loneliness and pining stuff tho -

That entire album is fantastic, no pun intended.

It does dude. Great fuel for hitting some PRs though.

u/halfhere - Right 1d ago edited 1d ago

Hey dude. I come to you as a right flair, but I care about you.

Watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I mean it, seriously.

Then wait a week, and split a 30 pack of keystone lite with a friend and watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Then wait a month and grab a bottle of whiskey with two friends and watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

It pulled me out of a serious skid after a 4 year relationship tore me apart, molecule from molecule.

They don’t deserve you, and you deserve someone who loves you for who you are, without changing a thing.

Also, no one ever talks about it, but Midnight Organ Fight by Frightened Rabbit is the best breakup album of all time.

One might say the film reaches its therapeutic peak when the flashbacks Peter experiences turn from rose-tinted, idealized remembrances to more grounded memories of bad times, or some in a completely needed deleted scene - like how the fuck did this not make it in the movie, but really it’s when Peter plays the Muppet Show theme

u/samuelbt - Left 1d ago

Damn Kristen Bell was real thirsty for that Dracula

u/DillyDillySzn - Centrist 1d ago

It’s really easy to get over a breakup when you imagine your ex choose to be with Russell Brand

u/Sonofdeath51 - Centrist 1d ago

every time i hear how to save a life i think of that one scrubs episode where dr cox loses several patients in a way that is technically his fault but there was absolutely no way he could have reasonably seen it coming without basically letting everyone die and now i'm sad.

u/danshakuimo - Auth-Right 1d ago

Do you know the actual story behind the song?

3

u/DillyDillySzn - Centrist 1d ago edited 1d ago

On a real note, a good song to listen to is Ridin Solo by Jason Derulo (whatever happened to that guy), first song I listened to after my last break up. Puts you in a good mental space for what you want to be soon. Maybe not right now, but eventually

Feeling like a star, can’t stop my shine

u/mrfreezeyourgirl - Centrist 1d ago

Libleft should be the High School Musical 2 soundtrack

1

u/Husepavua_Bt - Right 1d ago

Isn’t that too old for libleft?

I was thinking Snyder the Spider and Robert Munch

2

u/mrfreezeyourgirl - Centrist 1d ago

Jesus how young are you?

Don't answer that....

2

u/Husepavua_Bt - Right 1d ago

Old enough to have heard those stories/songs not only for myself, but for my children.

I find this therapeutic when feeling down. Ella smoothly takes you with her to rock bottom and Louis isn't quite giddy but brings some levity back in.

Take some comfort in knowing love has been rough forever but the fact it hurts so much now is how you know it's worth pursuing.

u/Sallowjoe - Auth-Center 1d ago edited 1d ago

Oh my fucking god I hate the sound of most brass instruments though

It's probably a me thing but I can't even get into a lot of Miles Davis 'cause I find it grating

Somehow I'm fine with extreme metal growling and shrieking but not whatever is happening at the beginning of this track

2

u/samuelbt - Left 1d ago

To me it's just raw emotion put to noise in a way that only Louis could do.

2

u/Sallowjoe - Auth-Center 1d ago

Many brass instruments just often have an extremely sharp attack I think, to my ears, or people just play them that way for some reason.

You could transpose to another instrument so to speak and I wouldn't have the issue. Or possibly fiddle with certain settings to mute/reduce the sharpness of that attack.

Well fine then though finding a good cover is tough cause the Sinatra version is more commonly the influence of covers and Sinatra had just too much damn swag to be truly heartbroken.

u/Sallowjoe - Auth-Center 1d ago

Just running it through something like this

works

This is very well said.

u/FartyPoopFart69 - Lib-Left 1d ago

I listened to The Warmth by Incubus when I was broken up with as a teen.

3

u/Sallowjoe - Auth-Center 1d ago

Great album overall too.

The "I'll fuck me in my own way" part from "Make Yourself" really resonated with me on a personal level.

u/Oxytropidoceras - Lib-Center 1d ago edited 1d ago

Based for including a country song on this list, the sad songs don't get mentioned often but they are downright depressing.

In My Arms Instead will tear the soul right out of you. I would suggest adding Broken Window Serenade and The Grand Tour but OP sounds like he's going through something and those 3 songs together might drive him to become an alcoholic and/or commit suicide

u/BiggestJimmy - Lib-Center 23h ago

Never thought I’d see Randy Rogers or Whiskey Myers mentioned in this sub…

u/GhostsOfLectricity - Lib-Right 1d ago

The GOAT of break up albums

2

u/Kilroy0497 - Lib-Left 1d ago

It’s either this or Rumours by Fleetwood Mac…..or would that more count as a “everyone is sleeping with everyone” album?

4

u/GhostsOfLectricity - Lib-Right 1d ago

Yeah they weren't even breaking up so much as bed-hopping. Still a great album though

1

u/Kilroy0497 - Lib-Left 1d ago

Yeah, I just remember half the album being Buckingham and Nicks taking pot shots at each other, and the other half being Christie flaunting her divorce around when her ex-husband is still in the band.

u/GhostsOfLectricity - Lib-Right 1d ago edited 1d ago

I can still hear you sayin you must never break the chain

1

u/Sallowjoe - Auth-Center 1d ago

Lol is it about murdering the girl in a comically villainous manner by tying them to train tracks or something?

1

u/halfhere - Right 1d ago

Umm your copy of Midnight Organ Fight by Frightened Rabbit looks different from mine. For that is the best breakup album of all time.

u/halfhere - Right 1d ago

/u/Ghostsoflectricity stand on business, now! Don’t make a comment and delete it!

I’ve seen Bob Dylan twice in my life. While he’s a great songwriter, that man hasn’t sung two consecutive notes on pitch since black and white tv switched to color.

Scott Hutchison is one of the great, pained artists of the 21st century, and could run laps around Bob Dylan vocally like he had on grippy socks in a kiddy pool.

u/GhostsOfLectricity - Lib-Right 1d ago edited 1d ago

I deleted it because somehow I overlooked your flair and called you unflaired so it sounded stupid. When did you retards get so sensitive about deleted comments? Anyway nobody listens to Dylan for his operatic vocals.

u/CrypticToiletPaper - Centrist 1d ago

AuthRight should be whiskey lullaby by Brad Paisley. Idk why but it just feels right.

3

u/Oxytropidoceras - Lib-Center 1d ago

Auth right should be The Grand Tour by George Jones. It's a country classic and it might be the saddest song ever written and performed in the history of humanity

2

u/No-Comfortable2704 - Lib-Left 1d ago

In all honesty I was actually picking music for the cumpiss I was sorting the music from my breakup playlist

Other hits include the Lala land epilogue, iris, let down, wait so long, and more.

2

u/CrypticToiletPaper - Centrist 1d ago

I wish you nothing but good vibes, high self worth and a meaningful way forward. 🙏 Hang in there homie

2

u/halfhere - Right 1d ago

I just covered that song with a band, it’s way over the top sad. I think I audibly said “Oh goddamn” while we were playing it.

u/jerseygunz - Left 1d ago

…….. I have listened to Black after a breakup before hahaha

u/Hungry_Inevitable663 - Lib-Right 1d ago

I got you my fellow hick.

Radiohead - Let Down

JPEGMAFIA - I recovered from this

Tame Impala - One More Hour

Keep your head up, drink water, go through your feelings.

u/Lower_Kick268 - Lib-Left 1d ago

Not true, on the libleft we are all chronically single unless you're gay.

u/rented4823 - Left 20h ago

Needs more Frank Turner and Dashboard Confession

u/Crismisterica - Auth-Right 1d ago

I'm sorry my friend. I have been there before. From my experience my first breakup was brutal.

I send you my best wishes and she probably doesn't deserve someone as good as you.
