Forget Post Malone, Who Broke Cole Swindell’s Heart?

https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/country/7503559/cole-swindell-miss-america-judge-you-should-be-here

I've been listening to Cole Swindell since senior year of high school when 'Chillin It' was the summer anthem after I graduated. His song 'Hope You Get Lonely Tonight' was my Song with an ex from my freshman year of college. After me and her broke up more of his songs started getting popular that were more or less break up songs. I can relate most of these songs to that relationship so I can feel the pain in the songs. My question is who broke his heart? Everyone talks about the hurt in Post Malone's songs but here's a list of songs that show more hurt than in most Post Malone songs.

1. ‘Hope You Get Lonely Tonight’

This one has a different feel for me than his commentary. In his commentary it's about a guy who's missing an ex and hopes she gets lonely and invites him over. For me this song is my song with my ex that was our song. It was always on the radio whenever we'd get in the car so it was fitting but it was still I hope you want me to come over. It's hard for me to listen to the song anymore but I can now listen to it and see Cole's meaning for the song because there were times I sat by waiting for a call or text.

2. ‘Ain’t Worth the Whiskey’

This one hits me hard. Just after our first big breakup this song became popular. It’s exactly how I tried to look and feel afterwards. I just went on with school still hurting, still hanging with the guys, and still playing sports. But I tried to show her and her friends I was having a good time without her and at a small school it’s pretty easy.

3. ‘Middle of a Memory’

The second album came out and along with it came ‘Middle of a Memory’. After the second big breakup this song really struck me. The summer after freshman year we got back together and there were a lot of fun times that summer. At the end of the summer it was all over. It was bad timing of a breakup because my life crashed afterward. But things in our relationship were going so great and the memories were just starting and then to just have them in your head and not actually make those is so hard.

4. ‘You Should Be Here’

For me this song hits me the hardest. Only one other Cole Swindell song hits me harder and that’s ‘Dad’s Old Number’. This song gets me on two fronts. After that breakup my grandmother had a stroke and a few days later was told my dad had cancer and it’s just about the time I have left with him. Just a few days earlier everything had been great and that breakup had set everything into motion. I remember thinking those same words you should be here. I needed her more than anything at that time. But I also knew she shouldn’t just stay because I was going through some shit. On the second way I feel about this song is as I’ve grown up and gotten married and started a family I’ve related it to my dad as Cole himself did. There’s been big moments in my life’s that I wish that my dad would’ve been here for.

5. ‘Break Up in the End’

This song doesn’t really have any feeling on me but you can tell with Cole and him explaining the meaning it’s affected him. You have those relationships that are great but you know it’s not gonna last and you’ll break up for one reason or another. We’ve all been there.

6. ‘Love You Too Late’

We can all relate to Swindell’s newest single. It’s a song about you made mistakes or you didn’t show how much you really loved someone until it was too late. We allowed that person to make up their mind and leave us hurt and feeling guilty about what we could have done to change it.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
