Music has always played a large role in my life. When the board first started up two years ago or so we would have the occasional post about a song/music video that helped us during a particularly difficult time. So I say we all post the songs that made an impact on our lives.
Re: Music
I saw a direct correlation to the music that I was listening to and the stage of the grieving process that I was in.
A few that I listened to when XH and I first split:
"White Horse" by Taylor Swift
"Take a Bow" by Rihanna
"Shoulda Said No" by Taylor Swift
Then right after my divorce was finalized I loved (and still love)
"Undo It" by Carrie Underwood
"Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood
"If She's Lonely Now (She Won't be Lonely Long)" by Clay Walker
Now I like:
"Little Miss" by Sugarland
"This" by Darius Rucker
and I stole this one from PrettyinPearls because I have been listening to it ever since she posted about it on FB and it makes me feel really strong and gives me motivation:
"Fighter" by Christina A.
I have three top picks:
Pink "Funhouse"

Mike Posner "Halo"

Christina Perri "Jar of Hearts"

PS. Karmin does a pretty awesome cover of this song so I will include it as well:

I could go on and on...
Good post!
It was after the fact, but seeing the video for this song really hit home with how abusive and dysfunctional my relationship with my ex-husband was. I am SOOO not the little 19 year old girl that married him all those years ago.
Eminem - Love The Way You Lie ft. Rihanna - https://search.yahoo.com/r/_ylt=A0oGdU9BqFJOmEAAMxJXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE1MjZtN2MwBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA3NrMQR2dGlkA0FDQlkwMV8xMzc-/SIG=120t95fdp/EXP=1314068673/**http%3a//www.youtube.com/watch%3fv=uelHwf8o7_U
I love and hate that song and the music video. Hits very close to home.

One of my favorites (besides all the great ones mentioned!) is Brave by Idina Menzel.
Actually, I really like her whole "I Stand" album.
Good idea on this thread!!
I went to high school with Christina Perri!
Anyway, this is my new favorite song which I've dedicated to DS. Right now I'm struggling and trying to make things happen for us in the hopes that things will start to look up.
