Relationships
are beautiful things, no doubt. They give you this sense of security,
that someone special has got your back; you have someone to run to
whenever it seems the whole world is turning against you, and best of
all, that you are being loved for who you are.
Unfortunately,
bad relationships are sometimes inevitable. The best thing any ‘victim’
can do is to do everything possible to get over such mishap – and
everything allied to it.
One good way to do such is to listen to
songs that will help you get over your ex. It’s rather sad that most
Nigerian singers have subconsciously neglected this dark area of life,
and gradually (over time), no one is saying anything therapeutic about
breakups. This inspired the research for the most suitable Nigerian
tunes for breakups; not really the ones that will keep you moping over
your misfortune, but those that should really help you get over your ex!
Say Your Love - P-Square
"You
say your love no dey lie, say your feelings no dey die; see me girl
(now) I dey cry". You'd think guys were the ones bad with promises until
you give this track a good listen. She even cheated on the innocent and
sincere P-Square with 'his' best friend. "Get out of my sight make you
find your way" goes the verdict of the 'played' lover. Too bad he loved
her 'pass his mama', and now he wants to die. But he won't! Put this
soulful classic tune on replay all day, and I bet you'd feel better
about your breakup, especially if you actually pulled the red card!
Ego – Djinee
Okay,
love-bereft and heart-broken boyfriends are finally tired of begging
and doing everything to please the unloving girlfriend, and are ready to
go and 'start life anew'. This is the lamentation of a lover who has
put everything into a relationship he really thought would move to the
next level - marriage, and had been a victim of spiteful criticism from
friends and family because of the love he has for a woman who did not
appreciate or reciprocate this feeling in the slightest bit. "If I die
how I go appreciate say when I dey this world I don fall in love? If you
help me see Ego, make you tell am I don go...” tuneful singer and
super-producer Djinee bemoans. Such plaintive and emotional
pidgin-English tune for any regretting lover who wants to leave
everything behind and start all over.
Game Over – P-square
Failed
promises from a woman again; and the incredible crooner twins are once
again the victims. She kept hanging up when he called, and she kept
telling all her friends she wanted to break up – all this after cheating
badly. Thank God he didn't wait till she did the worst.
Warning:
“If I dey go left, make you dey go right… if I dey go front, make you
dey waka dey go!” So sorry about the break-up, but that part is a bit
funny. That game was truly over! Tell that ex with all confidence; “this
game is over”!
Not the Girl – Darey
You’d
almost be moved to tears even without a bad breakup or an unforgivable
ex when you allow yourself to dive deep into the grief-stricken lyrics
and penetrating instrumentals of this song. The song is not yet at the
break-up stage, but it will serve as a good reminder of how you noticed
her/his negative changes, how you thought you 'lost her/him long ago
like a book that's left the shelf' and how much you'd been expecting her
to leave. Stop wondering how it all went wrong, forget how much you
tried and all the tears you cried - she's gone and gone for good! With a
strong resolution to put the emotions in check 'next time', all in a
bid to protect his 'poor heart', this is versatile and multi-talented
Darey Art Alade's masterpiece for loves gone bad.
Bibanke – Asa
This
emotional masterpiece translates to 'When I'm Crying'. This song tells
the story of a bad break-up obviously initiated by a guy who was
actually no longer in the relationship except for his physical
appearance. Asa bitterly recounts how the player swayed her with his
sweet words and very believable assurances earlier in the relationship,
and also regrets how she'd been 'a fool'. "When I'm crying, even if
water is flowing, just leave me alone!" At the end of it all, classic
lyricist Asa only had 'surrendering everything to God' as a last resort.
There are very strong lyrics throughout the song. This sad tune with
Yoruba chorus and bridge will surely be evergreen for bad break-ups!
