survive a heart break? My single was "I'm So Lonesome I could Cry" when my very first boyfriend left for Germany with the army in 1968. Now he is a good friend and has been married well over 30 years to a delightful lady. Do you think kids today still do that?

Nnot a 45, but a tape. I still do it today. Every sad song reminds me of a man that i used to know and am still " in love" with. And most Carrie Underwood songs remind me of mom ( she passed 2 yrs ago)( the best two are "Don't forget to remember me" and "Jesus take the wheel". Music helps me grieve when i need to and helps me feel good when I need it to, It also helps me commune with God. I have a special relationship with music, The only way I can explain it is kinda like telephoning my feelings (make sense?)

I played 2 different ones all the time, depending on what mood I was in. Both were on a 45, they were Monster Mash and also Lean On Me. I still have all my 45s and my 33s that I had back then. Not only do I still have all them, I still have the record player that played them.
My daughter now has an iPod and CDs that she plays hers on. She has been known to play the same song over and over again same as I did.

My wife and I were talking about this same subject tonight over dinner. In those days (60s) eveyone listened to the radio and if there was a song you really liked you could get a 45 for $1.00 and then play it over and over. My wife pointed out that if you were lucky the reverse side had a good song on it too.

I'm sure that kids still do that. But they listen to a different type of song. The kind that has a deafening, booming beat.
I don't think I loved anyone enough to do that when 45's were still around. I did like to read sad stories, sad poetry and watch sad chick movies.
It's great that you are good friends with your old flame and his delightful wife.

I loved my old record player. While I never did the heart break thing, I did like to change the speed settings from 45 to... what was it??? LP or something? back and forth so it would play either real slow or real fast. If you would have tried that, you just might have laughed so hard your heart break would go away. Ahh the simpler things in life. Thanks for the memories. Damn I had a good childhood.

I'm sure I did, but I especially remember my brother doing this one time when he broke up with a girlfriend. He played "Many a Tear Has to Fall" over and over again, just sobbing. I felt so sorry for him. Much later, years later I learned that crying releases 46 toxins from the body. Cry on!

Yes, I think it's the same if it's a record, cassette, cd or mp3 player, ect., most of us have heart break at some time or another. I listened to 'Touch me in the Morning' by Diana Ross and 'I Will Always Love You' by Dolly Parton over and over. Probably for different heartbreaks too. lol

Same idea, different media. Instead of a 45 rpm record, now it's an mp3 file on an Ipod being repeated endlessly. As long as they're still human, they'll still have heartbreaks that are soothed by music.

Yes they do. All humans do it. My sad songs were by Neil Young. They were "O Lonesome Me" and "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" found on his After The GoldRush album. Now that was depression personified!

Dont give up hope. My 16 yo grand-daughter did this very thing the last time I visited. It was a cd and I wouldnt know the name of the song if I heard it,but she said she was playing it over and over. (She had the regular headphones in) She was mooning (not the way they use the word today) over a boy named Steve. He was/is the love of her life and they broke up. Oh-to be young again.
I was a fan of Eddie Fisher and played "Tell Me Why" over and over because of a young boy named Russ.
