Best Songs to Listen to After Reading Your Rejection Email

Just got an email that starts like this?

"Thank you for interviewing with us. Unfortunately, you have not been chosen…”

We've all been there. So to help you ease the pain, I came up with a list of the best rejection songs from my iPod... Listen and weep.

10. Metallica - St. Anger

/I feel my world shake
Like an earth quake
Hard to see clear
Is it me? Is it fear?/

9. Linkin Park - In the End

/I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter/

8. Breaking Benjamin - So Cold

/You're so cold/

7. Three Days Grace - I Hate Everything About You

/I hate everything about you
Why do I love you/

6. Avril Lavigne – Unwanted

/I had a smile on my face and I sat up straight
Oh, yeah, yeah
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you/

5. James Blunt – Goodbye My Lover

/Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun/

4. Gotye – Somebody That I Used to Know

/But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low/

3. Justin Timberlake – Cry Me a River

/You don't have to say, what you did,
I already know, I found out from him
Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be/

2. Clem Snide - No one’s More Happy Than You

/And you don't believe, but it's true
No one's more happy than you/

1. Darius Rucker – This

/I don't really know how I got here
But I'm so glad that I did
And it's crazy to think that one little thing
Could have changed all of this/

Any more suggestions?

 

Haha was just laughing my ass off...

/Don't believe everything that you breathe You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve So shave your face with some mace in the dark Savin' all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park/

It ain't what you know, it's who you know
 

My suggestions:


  1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn676-fLq7I?feature=oembed

/What doesn't kill you makes you stronger Stand a little taller Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone/

  1. Taylor Swift - Shake It Off

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfWlot6h_JM?feature=oembed

/'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake I shake it off, I shake it off/


  1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahha3Cqe_fk?feature=oembed

/In another life I would be your girl We keep all our promises, be us against the world And in other life I would make you stay So I don't have to say you were the one that got away/

For anyone disagreeing with my excellent taste in music, kindly refer to Section 2.2.

 

Most of the songs you posted are derpressin as fuk, especially if you just got a rejection.

Songs you should listen to after a rejection are songs that inspire you.

You know you've been working too hard when you stop dreaming about bottles of champagne and hordes of naked women, and start dreaming about conditional formatting and circular references.
 

This is cancerous, both because it's Buzzfeed-esque garbage and because you didn't include "Suicidal Thoughts" by Biggie on the list.

"If I die, fuck it I wanna go to hell, cause I'm a piece of shit, it ain't hard to fuckin' tell..."

Lupe Fiasco - The show goes on

/Have you ever had the feeling That you was being had Don't that sh*t that make you mad They treat you like a slave, With chains all on your soul, And put whips up on your back, They be lying through they teeth Hope you slip up off your path I don't switch up I just laugh Put my kicks up on they desk Unaffected by they threats/

 

The best song for me is Micheal Jackson's Keep the faith (and if you are not a fan at least read the lyrics below)

"Keep The Faith"
