Songs that break your heart a little...

[Mammyloveswine]

James Morrison just came on my Spotify playlist "the pieces don't fit anymore".

What a song! I feel like im re-living all my past breakups...

Don't Speak by No Doubt

Iris - The Googoo Dolls

The reason is you by Hooberstank- hugely significant when I was circling the drain of post natal depression.

Groves by Benjamin Francis Leftwich- simply beautiful and devastating.

If tommorow never comes.
One moment in time

From my youth,.

Wish i didnt miss you - Angie Stone 😭😭

Dear Prudence and Blackbird - The Beatles

The Book of Love - Peter Gabriel

Off You - Breeders.

😔

Placebo, walking up that hill

Our Farewell by Within Temptation

Three Black Feathers by Bella Hardy (particularly Jim Moray's version)

A Rainy Night in Soho- The Pogues
Time - Culture Club
Be Tender with me Baby - Tina Turner
A Different Corner - George Michael
My Eyes Adored You - Frankie Valli
Nothing Compares to You - Sinead O'Connor
Baby Can I Hold You - Tracy Chapman
I Don't Want to Talk About It - Rod Stewart

Piece by piece - Katie Melua

BillywigSting, the lyrics touch me because they capture exactly my feelings about losing that childhood magic and becoming comfortably numb.... just my take on it.

Hothouse Flowers If You Go, I've got it as an earworm now and it's enough to make me sob. It's so beautiful and passionate and sad.
And Frank Turner Polaroid Picture. I've lost so many people I love over the last decade.

So in the stillness of the moment
Make sure you take a Polaroid picture
And keep it with you forever to
Remind yourself that everything changes
But there was this one time
Man there was this one time
When things were okay

Touch me in the morning - Diana Ross

Reminds me of a heartbreaking time in my life when I thought I'd lost the love of my life to someone else - eventually it all came good & we married but the song takes me back to the agony I felt for weeks.

Why is it that we torture ourselves by listening to sad music when we are feeling crap already? 🤔

Sometimes when we touch

Dan Hill

Glow by Frances and To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra, both personally meaningful and utterly beautiful.

Thank you 😊

I listen to sad songs when I need a good cry but can't.

There is some sort of science to why we feel better after crying, something about cerotonin being released I think

GoddammitAmy Excellent username! I was going to add Tell Tales Signs to my list. I cried when Frank sang it live! It's not so much that it's a sad song, I just relate to it all too much. And, yes, to Polaroid Picture and Long Live The Queen. If I think too much when listening to them, they make break my heart too.

To be fair, when it comes to Frank the list goes on doesn't it? YY to Long Live The Queen, and also Redemption, Jet Lag, Nights Become Days...
