Do You Keep Songs from Sad, Challenging Times/Bad Relationships in Your Playlist?

Yeah, what cinder said.

i made this song a week ago, and after, i told my pastor that i’d rather burn in hell than follow Jesus. I plan to keep this song to remember how dark life can get sometimes. God roots for the underdog though. I can make songs all day.

Wait, you made it last week?

Hey Everyone,

A song came on yesterday that I used to love, but it was popular during one of the most turbulent times of my life.

And I realized that even the first few notes had the effect of feeling like I was experiencing an emotional car crash, being violently thrown through the windshield, and then feeling every shard of glass piercing right through the depths of my soul.

In other words... All these years (decades) later, I still can't listen to that song.

What about you?

If a song reminds you of/is associated with a sad/traumatic event or relationship in your life, do you:

* Get rid of it immediately, never to listen to it again.

* Keep it as a reminder of lessons learned.

* Keep it in remembrance of something or someone you don't want to forget.

* Let it go for a while, but occasionally come back to see what your reaction is.

* Listen to it one last time, then let it go, or, keep it it if it no longer bothers you.

Mine might be a wee bit different, but here goes.
In my late 20s, I was in a miserable relationship. Everyone has at least one relationship they'd like to wipe clean from their past. That one is mine. At the time I hung out online a lot on Yahoo Answers. Anyone remember that? Well, anyway, I liked the music section. Toward the end of the relationship, I guess I must have mentioned it on there, and a guy sent me this song to cheer me up. To this day I still have it in my playlists and am thankful to be far away from that relationship lol...

I used to love static-x. I even bought one of their albums around middle school or high school.

Wayne Static was talented, too bad he died young.
