What got you over the hump?

Conskeeted19 · #1 12-19-2000, 10:49 PM

While reading the entries from the wedding post, I couldn't help but to go down memory lane. I thought about all of the oldies but goodies. Songs like "Crusin" by Smokey Robinson, "Me and Mrs. Jones" by Billy Paul, "If you don't know me by now" by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, "Always and Forever" Heatwave.....Then I thought about the songs that I played over and over when the loves of my life broke up with me. Remember getting over the hump. That mid-way mark-somewhere between the 4th day and the 8th day. Getting over the hump is still difficult for me today. I Will Survive was one of my getting over the hump songs. I would play that song over and over and over until it didn't hurt so bad. I am going through the hump process right now. I play Toni Braxton's "Just Be A Man About It" over and over and over. What is/was your hump song(s)? Just curious!

That song by Miya, I believe? "If you died I wouldn't cry cause you never loved me anyway..." I'm a gospel buff..but, I'll dust off that CD during those spells.

I know this is a little sick, but my getting over the hump song is "Limp" by Fiona Apple. She's not all sad when she sings about someone hurting her, she's millitant! I love it!

I also like "Get Gone" by her.

I have used all of these, including Eryka Badu's Live CD including the song..."Ye-Yo"?(SP).
I've also used Lauren Hill as well as all those old Luther Vandross songs (that I never used to understand as a teen, but couldn't get enough of as an adult)even some Al Green (Mr. Hot grits himself)

Breakdown...Mariah
Cry Baby...Mariah

Dang, I forgot about BROWNSTONE! I had their 1ST CD. You all know that the ONE who left because of bronchitis is a SOROR!

Yeah, Ms. Hill is a good one too!

Caught Out There was off the hook, too! I had JUST gotten RID of this ZERO!

The songs that helped me were:

1. "Almost Doesn't Count" Brandy
2. "I Used to Love Him" Lauryn Hill/ Mary J
3. "A Rose is Still a Rose" Aretha
4. "It Don't Hurt Now" Teddy Pendergrass

The song that keeps me from having a relapse is Erykah Badu's "Bag Lady".

Soror AKA2D '91 let me find out you are a 'MARY J' fan!! ;-) Ladies my getting over the hump, before the hump and after the hump songs all come from my Mary collection. One day I sat in the attic of my man's house and just blasted her songs, singing my little heart out. Then a while later he said he does not like me to sing JAY Z songs anymore because he now knows that I live the songs I sing, and he did not want me to be living some ole Jay Z type $hit .... so yeah I love me some Mary and can feel her pain in most of her songs.

Others are Zhane’s Love me today and I don’t know the artist is it and old song and it goes like this: ‘make up to break up that is all we do first you love me then you hate me … that’s a game for fools'

See I tend to listen to the songs that keep me down for awhile because I need to get the hurt out first…so I try to get all the bad out, cry for a couple of days use these songs to draw out the pain I don’t exactly know what I play when I am coming out of this spell, I think it goes to gospel and how happy I am to be a live.

Any men out there, Sphinxpoet? Do men have a period of I am down, I am rejuvenating… I am all better now????

AKA2D '91 · #12 12-20-2000, 12:09 PM

Dang, I forgot about Zhane, too! They first came out when I was in college. They were the JAM!

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

MARY J. FAN IS RIGHT HERE! GIRL, I JUST FEEL AND HEAR HER PAIN! I AM SOOOOOO HAPPY SHE HAS EVOLVED!

meeks · #13 12-21-2000, 01:13 AM

the song that got me over the hump was "Alright" by CeCe Winans.

My favorite verse is

"'Cause HE'S gonna answer every little prayer; just hold on and see 'cause its gonna be alright"

Poplife, There is nothing sick about Fiona, I use "Limp" too. Her strong voice gets her point across quite well. Have you listened to her first CD "Tidal"? Her songs tell her story so vividly. Check out her "Fast As You Can" too!
