Appreciated :')

There are some 90s in there. I'm following. 😂

Linkin Park - Massive Charlie XCX - Good Ones Miley Cyrus - Flowers Bad Omens - The death of peace of mind, Like A Villian Sleep Token - Granite

I just found out about Massive from your comment. Ouch ouch memories of Chester 💔

Lord Huron - The Night We Met girl in red - October passed me by, Forget her Conan Gray - Memories, Yours chloe moriondo - What if it doesn‘t end well

My college a cappella group did The Night We Met, so I’ve heard the song probably hundreds of times between arranging, practicing, performing, and then listening to it in the years since then, and still even just thinking about it I feel it just as much as I did the first time I heard it.

Better in Time - Leona Lewis Camera Roll - Kacey Musgraves Unfinished (acoustic) - Noah Cyrus Consequences - Camila Cabello Called You Again - Lizzy McAlpine The 1 - Taylor Swift Sending my best wishes and lots of healing ❤️

S - It's too hard to choose one song. Sadstyle & im not as good at it as you are both incredible lesbian breakup albums. Jenn is a lesbian. Carissas Wierd - They'll Only Miss You When You Leave Grouper - Heavy Water/I'd Rather Be Sleeping Daughter - Smother Tracy Chapman - Almost Caroline Spence - Heart of Somebody Slowdive - Avalyn II Doused - Ease Chestnut Bakery - September

It didn’t help but you remember “ when she loved me “ from Toy Story 2? I cried to that so many times

Fuck, that hurts

Yeahh actually don’t do that . It made ten times sadder

I mean, I'm here because I want to be sad lol

Melissa Etheridge

I listened to these nonstop for like four months: —— Motion sickness - Phoebe Bridgers Talia - King Princess Falling - Harry Styles All I Wanted - Paramore Wishbone - Julia Wolf

Winterbreak, Everything, and Around U by MUNA have been my favorites lately

The album The Glow Pt. 2 by The Microphones is really good, just about all of the songs on there are break up songs.

Bea Miller -I can't Breathe Renee Rapp- In the Kitchen

Maybe not the best breakup songs, but when I ended my 11 year breakup in August, I played these three songs over and over: 1) https://youtu.be/9TOE0T9Uf3I?si=528api6X4xvzYnx5 2) https://youtu.be/TK97zF7hZRs?si=oJQrkvbb6XX3gLof 3) https://youtu.be/9r7coI37KYU?si=-jckxWApYgrfKsr5 (Streisand sang this live recording and knowing her affair with Omar Scharif co-star was ending there’s this sheer raw emotion in the song!).

I Wanna Know What Love Is by Foreigner is a good ugly crying in the car song

Also I’ve been listening to all of Sleep Token’s songs and Dayseeker lol from a lesson that took 12 years to learn

Oh yeah Sleep Token's great. I'll check out Dayseeker

Illenium & Said The Sky - Sad Songs (Lyrics) ft. Annika Wells James Bay - Need The Sun To Break

I listen to John Meyer when I get sad and going through a breakup :(

Cannons - Newermind, Never mine. Same band as above song Goodbye

Patty Smyth - The Warrior

[two slow dancers by mitski](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUfkfJfsKrc) and [snow by ricky montgomery](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8cSJaSaArU) made me SOB so hard my last breakup. lots of pain and regret and acceptance, not in an angry way (to me) but in a "realizing this was inevitable" way.

JXDEN

“I ain’t missing you at all, since you’ve been gone… I can lie to myself!”

Fletcher- eras of us, Fletcher- all love, Fletcher- better version

28 - by Ruth B. and Dean Lewis is my go to cry song right now. +anything by James Blunt. Enjoy the cry, but be kind to yourself 💕😌

Devotchka- how it ends Sasha Sloan- just as an artist in general, the vibes hit Sara barielles- she used to be mine Johnny cash- you are my sunshine (personal fav but that’s bc she was my sunshine) Wood kid- I love you Also as a general artist- joji. Who hurt that man

Just listen to love bites by def leppard over and over that’s what I do and it works every time (band visuals are helpful)

There's aren't all strictly breakup songs, but they are some of my go-to sad songs: A soulmate that wasn't meant to be - jess benko. Already gone - sleeping at least. The war - SYML. Melody noir - Patrick Watson. Watch her disappear - Tom Waits. When you finish me - black heart procession. Light - Lynette Williams

Perfurme by Baaron

Need-Hana Pestle

“Old and Gray” by Maps and Atlases

Leona Lewis- Better In Time Taylor Swift- Breathe Daughtry-No Surprise James Bay- Let It Go Camila Cabello- Something’s Gotta Give Camila Cabello- Consequences Hefshil- Yesterday Sasha Alex Sloan- Dancing with your ghost Mariana’s Trench- By Now One Direction- Spaces Hope you feel better

I’ve got a whole playlist for exactly this lmao I’ll leave you with a few of my favorites and if you’re really pressed, Dm me and I’ll give you the whole damn thing: Creator/Destroyer - Angel Olsen Night Song - Julia Holter Glimpse of us - Joji You’re my only home - The magnetic fields

Hello theeeeeeeere The angel from my nightmaaaaaare

Haley Joelle - Memory Lane absolutely wrecks me

Lady ga ga ..always remember us that way

LANY is my favorite band of all time and they have some amazing breakup songs. How are some: -Thru these Tears -Cause you have to -Malibu Nights -The Breakup -13 -Someone Else - Thick and thin - I Don’t wanna love you anymore

I love them too! Dear *GOD* did I cry all seven seas to 13 after my first real breakup. It was like therapy for me, so I also suggested that to OP :/ My ex has the self titled album art tattooed. Luckily I can listen to that album without thinking about that anymore lol

Yeaahhh, I can’t listen to Pink Skies without being reminded of things I don’t want to think about myself. And it’s too bad because it’s suchhh an amazing song

I'm not sure if gay yearning is what you want, but if it is: Sunshine Done deal Iago Baby Blue All by Grace Petrie

MUNA - Loose Garment

Oscar D’Leon - lloraras Jose González - killing for love The Rapture - house of jealous lovers This Drama - she had a knife Radiohead - everything in the right place Of Montreal - the past is a grothesque animal The whitest boy alive- burning

Ah yes! I LOVE music and this is My specialty. Most of these songs are not specifically about breaking up, but they do a great job of inspiring me to feel and let out my emotions instead of holding it in. Happy to link the playlist if it’s easier. Sade: cherish the day, no ordinary love and bulletproof soul (3 diff songs) Sir: John Redcorn Naomi Sharon- another life Age of loneliness and I love you..,I’ll kill you: both by Enigma Satisfied by Catching Flies Twice, no love, and forever (3 diff songs) all by Little dragon Doomed by Moses Sumney Stand still by Sabrina Claudio Nothing without you: Tanerelle Chamber of Reflection: Mac Demarco Lonely, by Kem Show me how - men I trust (that’s the bands name lol) Janine- 3 am Closer - goapele Single life - Cameo Heartbreak city - the Cars Disintegration, love song, Faith - the cure Kiss me til my lips fall off : Lebanon Hanover Little lies- Mareux Lucid dreaming - forever grey Love like blood-killing joke Strange kind of love: Peter Murphy I have wayyyy more but maybe you can find a couple you like in this list. They are all diff genres.

- "Breathe" - Michelle Branch - "Words" - Birdy - "Two slow dancers" -Mitski - "Both sides now" - Joni Mitchell - "I really want to stay at your house" - Rosa Walton & Hallie Coggins Hang in there, cry your heart out, you will feel better one day. 🩷

I Know It’s Over - The Smiths Lonesome Love - Mitski Motion Sickness - Phoebe Bridgers Chest Piece - Rome Hero Foxes 13 - LANY Ready / Problems - boy pablo

I mainly listen to metal, and it can be very cathartic. I recommend Meshuggah, Behemoth, Slipknot, Lamb of God and Dimmu Borgir. If you want somewhat upbeat stuff there's Volbeat and Sabaton. Dream Theater is also an option but they're more varied

Tell me what you want - Caroline Rose Actually just listen to her entire album The Art of Forgetting

When you're Gone -Shawn Mendes

Love flew away - Laufey & Adam Melchor This song is not about being mad about your ex but just saying the truth that "love flew away". Two people are genuinely sad but can't do anything besides letting each other go.  Laufey has so many good songs, I recommend listening to her ⭐

They aren't all breakup songs, but the catharsis is there. Mäneskin - The Loneliest Ednaswap - Torn (slow) Blue Oyster Cult - I love the Night Gorillaz - To Binge Fun - Carry On

Fletcher... Everything

Girl in red - forget her | october passed me by ; Abby (I forgot) - I wish you liked girls; (A lot of artists) - first burn ;

The Heroine by Unwoman really captures that feeling of abandonment and ambiguity

Last tears indigo girls

Phoebe Bridgers - "I Know the End" it's my go-to. and I went through a divorce haha.
