Start with ABBAs The Winner Takes It All. When you want to start feeling better, listen to Gloria Gaynors I Will Survive.

Idk why I don't seemy post reply on here but I'll just do another one. Thank you everyone for the song suggestions and for those who left kind words. I'm making the playlist as we speak. I really don't mind any genre. I like all music and will give anything a try. I am most definitely a jeff buckley kind of girl. He's gotten me through alot of heartbreak. So I needed something new to listen to. My go to however is forget her. Also thank you to those who suggested songs for the "anger phase". I most definitely feel it coming on now. I'm over crying.

Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley.

Sorry you're having a hard time, OP Thanks

Moiraroseswigs · 12/09/2021 07:22

Mine are probably very specific to a certain era!!

Last Request by Paolo Nutini.
Irreplaceable by Beyonce.
Don't Leave by Faithless.
Red by Daniel Merriweather.

Then You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette when you're angry.

And finally, Since You've Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson and So What by Pink when you feel a bit better.

ByGrabtharsHammerWhatASavings · 12/09/2021 07:26

It's not a "cry yourself to sleep" song, but you should definitely put "reason to fight" by Disturbed on your list. Not sure if it best fits in the sad or angry category but it's my go to song when I want to wallow on dark feelings.

Is it just me by Emily burns. the emotion in her voice just gets me going

Unbreak my heart by Toni braxton
Almost doesn’t count brandy
Crying Roy Orbison
Fairground attraction by them
Foolish games and don’t by jewel
Bang bang Christina Perri

@Theworldisquiethere

Keaton Henson and Leonard Cohen are my go-tos for when I’m sad
Ah, me too. This song and video by Keaton Henson are the saddest things I’ve ever heard/seen in my life:

WARNING: features heartbroken animals!

Era furman, Haunted Head, its about the feelings you get when you break up, the worthlessness and pointlessness. I played it over and over, cried and cried till it didn't make me cry anymore and I knew I was recovering.

Cam2020 · 12/09/2021 12:25

Castles - Freya Ridings for after the crying.

Roseyleaf · 12/09/2021 12:55

David Gray's Babylon helped me when a breakup left me alone in a city far from home.

Tell me on a Sunday gets me every time
Someone I used to know Adele
Crying in the rain
Oh there are so many
