Exhale 30 Day Song Challenge [DAY 5]

[Roxxy]

Hi Exhale!

Ok so yesterday brought happy thoughts and joyful memories. Today is a Sunday and I figured we could do something reflective. Like, something "sentimental". It's a Sunday anyway. We can chill and relax and contemplate and reflect and be sad [?]

Here is our Free compilation btw! I hope listening to this will make you feel good. 💛🧡💜

So let's start!

 

DAY 5: A song that reminds you of someone / something you'd rather forget.

 

*** ONE SONG PER EXHALER.

*** You may use a song already posted by your fellow Exhaler. 

TEEHEE 💛🧡💜

This song reminds me of the only person who cheated on me - ever. He was my first college boyfriend. This was our "theme song" and we were together for a year and seven months. I found out he cheated on me and he said he broke it off so I stayed with him and then I found out months after that they were back together and that was IT for me. 

So Clark if you're watching...

This was one of my break up anthems back in 08

My dramatic self listened to this song a lot during an instance of straight boy drama, which I'm sure most gay guys go through at least once.  It's kinda funny how the lyrics apply to a straight crush situation, tbh:

 

"I'm not the type of girl for you,

And I'm not going to pretend

I'm the type of girl you'd call more than a friend."

 

Of course I'm not the type of girl for him - I'm literally a guy. That's the whole reason behind why it will never work out.

I love this song, but I can't listen to it anymore. 

It takes me back to a time when my abusive aunt lived with us because we couldn't afford to pay the bills, so we had to let people move in. My mom was extremely depressed, smoking crack, and just wasn't able to do anything to better our situation. I was also struggling with being diagnosed with a condition and basically life was just hard.  Anyways sorry for ruining the vibe, carry on.

Its a gospel song. But it got me through my worst anxieties in life. The words plus her voice are

Honorable Mention: Let Me Down Slowly by Alec Benjamin

[Ofcoursenot]

This one... I send it to my bf at that time because of the lyrics  (That was in 2015-16)

And a few weeks ago he texted me saying that he was listening to Marina and reminded of me

Everytime is up there  but i choose the 1st who come to my head

and how much i DON'T want to know  to keep the challenge more truthfull

This entry is kind of a 1-way manner because they were like a continuation of one another:

2018 was an awful year for me. So after the end of that year from the period of january-march, this was the song i would play in the morning on my ipad when we were going to school. I listened to it as in a way of maybe those things happened to me for a reason (as in a good way) to mature me.

Then after listening to this song...

I would play this song right after that one as a continuation of the other song. The starting instrumentals of the song felt so beautiful and helped me look towards every new day of 2019. It was the song that after i was done playing someday would tell me...those events happened to you for a reason: but lets move on with high hopes this new year and look upto everday as a new day with hopes. And i would listen to it looking upto the sun rising....

Hopefully you dont cut one of them, because one of them only tells half of the story, whereas them together tell the whole story and are like interludes

[BabyBabyBay]

Makes me think of a guy I've been going back and forth with for the past 18 months. Recently made the decision to cut ties with him completely, it was difficult but had to be done. I do miss him though.

“Back in my body” by Maggie Rogers 

Takes me back to my ex who destroyed me  But damnit I love Maggie Rogers. The last 30 seconds make me cry every time. And I’m still in love with him
