Most heartbroken songs ever

[Smallestwomanthateverlived]

I'm currently divorcing my husband. I've been strong and angry, but totally I'm just feeling heartbreakingly sad. I've tried some Taylor swift songs but they just aren't sad enough. Anyone got any recommendations for some songs I can just be utterly broken to for an hour before I sick it all back up and crack on. I've currently got hurt by Jonny cash on but it's not quite the vibe I want.

When you're ready to stop crying it out and start celebrating freedom

Enough is Enough by Barbara Streisand & Donna Summer
Go Away by Gloria Estefan
I never loved you anyway by the corrs
I love it by Icona Pop

I broke my teenage heart to this, OP.

Goodbye my lover- James blunt,
My heart will go on- Whitney Houston
Broken strings James Morrison
Let it go- James Bay
Jealous- Labyrinth

The Kate Bush one reminds me of a miscarriage I had years back and always makes me cry. Love the last one (translate the lyrics)

Drive by The Cars is the song that does it for me

Best years of my life- by the Pistol Annies

I am also going through seperation/divorce, it is also 100% my decision, I am also certain it is the right thing and I am also very very sad about it all. So you are not alone.

My 'miserable as fuck' playlist includes 'A Love So Beautiful' by Roy Orbison. Just awful/beautiful, utterly destroys me.

Editing: sorry, just read your update about him being awful and you feeling you wasted your time. Will have another think.

Just When I Needed You Most by Randy VanWarmer. Also Every Day Hurts by Sad Cafe, absolute killer.

Thanks everyone for the song recommendations. Some really good news ones and some old favourites I'd forgotten about too! Today is a new day, and I'm back in to my strong women, don't need a man songs!!

All Out of Love - Air Supply.

Lazurus Drug

Tears in Heaven. By Eric Clapton

Someone you loved. By Lewis Capaldi

Because you loved me. By Celine Dion.

They’re not really about break ups as I’ve never been in love but they’re still have me blubbering for my own reasons

.

Tiny Tears - Tindersticks

Made a playlist for this very purpose during my last break up: music.apple.com/gb/playlist/hurty-heart/pl.u-P6EFL2xeR5

taylor swift bon iver exiles kills me. also Margaret Lana del ray because it’s what i want but may never have. poetry gets me deeper op. root around on the web for good poems about grief, loss etc. it might unlock a new level for you. (round it off with poems about hope and healing though! it’s all about balance)

If you need a good cathartic music-related cry, recommend watching The Voice UK! Also having a rough time and just discovered it having ignored these types of programmes for years.

Runawah train. Soul asylum. About misisng kids :(

Ex Factor" Lauryn Hill

‘Baby Come Back’ by Player is a great post-break up song to sing in the shower.

maybe in one of your angrier moments

Caught Out There by Kelis

The lyrics may not fit, but the chorus ( I hate you so much right now) could hit the spot.

The Winner Takes it All by ABBA. Agnetha is an absolute master at putting emotion into a song. She always looks like she is in the verge of tears when she is singing it too. Goodness knows how she managed to perform this shortly after her own divorce!

Many ABBA songs incorporate some
some melancholy. They are really good at this.

Spring Day by BTS? about loosing your best friend, not sure if that's what you want.

Another one from Thunder - River of Pain

It’s one of my favourite tracks of all time, it’s so melancholic and beautiful

Jar of Hearts Christina Perry
