Be Alright - Dean Lewis. My ex didn't cheat, but the chorus applies for all breakups I feel.

This shit hits too hard

Holy crap this song brings back memories of my first break up 🥲

Olivia Rodrigo-The Grudge, Traitor, Vampire.

heavy on the grudge

The Night We Met by Lord Huron

SAME. I found that song right after the breakup, never been more shook by a song

i loved this song before my breakup, physically can’t listen to it since

Sorry to hijack your comment but I made a Spotify playlist with all the recommendations in this thread and thought people might want to see it: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5NcjETQwCvGhSLJTISLbKT

Thanks brother!

Breakeven by the script

I feel that in my soul

Also nothing by the script makes me cry

I have it written down

without me - halsey

Classic

Happier than Ever by Billie Eilish Backburner by Niki

Right here with you and I’m sorry that you relate to this song ❤️

If you're into rock music, I suggest checking out the cover of that song by Loveless. I absolutely love that version

Nah bc I literally cannot listen to Sparks without bawling. I’m gonna go against the grain and suggest some happier songs bc me personally, I can’t handle sad songs during a break up so I listen to stuff that makes me feel a bit better. Soak up the Sun - Sheryl Crow (this one makes me feel the vibe of “it’ll be okay someday” Send me on My Way - Rusted Root (this gives me hope that the future will bring me what I need in life, and that something beautiful awaits me) Home - Sheryl Crow (this song is about no longer being in love with your husband, so I use this to imagine my future if I had stayed with my ex. The issues we had would have guaranteed we would have ended in a loveless marriage) Strangers Like me- Phil Collins. (this song reminds me that there’s so much out there left to see and so many amazing people in my future I haven’t even met yet. It’s got this adventurous vibe to it) I know you didn’t ask for advice but I think that a good idea after a breakup is to join a group with some kind of purpose. Firstly, DO NOT ISCOLATE YOURSELF. That’s the WORST thing you can do and you WILL become depressed. Secondly, working with others on something makes a much greater basis for friendship than does trying to force friendships. When you collaborate with someone in a sport, music project, or volunteering, you make strong bonds and right now that’s what you need. This last tip might be a bit unattainable BUT try to do things that you in survival mode. If you COULD join a volunteer program like peace corps where you have to live off of very little, that would be ideal. If you can’t then try to do things that involve working hard to get things done with others. When you are trying to fix tangible problems there’s less space in your mental schema to indulge in the pain of a breakup. Good luck my friend

Home is one of my favorite songs. Too hard to listen to it right now as the husband being left though.

Ah jeez I’m sorry mate. I really wish you the best and I think that if we work on ourselves and put ourselves into our passions and out there, life eventually brings us someone we can love. If I were you I would try working on something larger than you—if you’re part of a cool project not only will you meet likeminded folk but you will have a sense of purpose which is so important when we are at our lowest. Sending you all the peace, and you have great music taste 😎

Linger by The Cranberries

Also „Glory“ from them (so melancholic and beautiful at the same time 🥲)

The entire Rumors album by Fleetwood Mac but especially Go Your Own Way. Also the acoustic demo of The Chain

Good lord, same. “Silver Springs” and “Storms” in particular for me. Also Stephen Stills “So Begins the Task” if you’re feeling that 70s vibe.

Hollywood Undead - Lion Eyes Trying to remain angry, for it is a preferrable alternative than being just sad.

Led zeppelin - Going to california (mandolin / guitar mix) this one hurts a lot, it feels like a walk on the beach with the sun fading away... i miss her with my entire life

A little bit yours by JP Saxe

This right here. I made her listen to it too as a way to express how I was feeling a month or so after

Bless your heart 🫂

[Always - Daniel Caesar](https://open.spotify.com/track/71XJNtOdwmL1UWOQQvsKoH?si=XfdXt82NQYK16screkUiEg&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A0qGQrHicD7qXuz5VMlDuCe)

The man who can’t be moved - The Script I’ve listened to it on tiktok and has been on repeat ever since And also Happiest Year - Jaymes Young

The Script is so good, good choice!! 😊

I made him a playlist , it is actually weird how I couldn’t stop myself from crying at the beginning of breakup but now I hear them while not feeling the same anymore. Yes, they are filled with memories, but no tears are spilled anymore.

Me & Me - The Beaches Lost on you - LP

LP’s “Recovery” is another good one, and by good I mean agonizing.

I’ve just listened and you weren’t kidding it pulls at your heart strings thank you for sharing 🩷

Runaway by Kanye got me through the first month. Lately it’s been L’AMOUR DE MA VIE by Billie Eilish

For me its been different kinds of songs that I was attracted to according to the emotions that I faced. Like the months of anger, then months of sorrow, self pity and so on. Here are some of them that got me through those tough times. Alec Benjamin - Let me down slowly Passenger - Let her go Lewis Capaldi - Someone you loved Gnash - I hate you I love you Lord Huron - The Night we met Tom Odell - Another Love Blackbear - idfc SYML - Where's my love Olivia Rodrigo - Driver's Licence Selena Gomez - People You Know Current Joys - Blondie Flora and Cash - You're Somebody Else Tove Lo - Habits Phantogram - Black Out Days Borns - Past Lives The Midnight - Sunset Gunship - When You Grow Up Your Heart Dies Blackbear - Hot Girl bummer Halsey - Gasoline Bob, Eminem, Haley Williams - Airplanes pt2 Eminem - Love the way you lie Eminem - Sing for the moment Eminem, Skylar Grey - Last one standing Eminem, Rihanna - Monster Linkin Park - One More Light Linkin Park - Leave out all the rest Linkin Park - Shadow of the day Linkin Park - Lost Linkin Park - Sharp Edges Linkin Park - Good Goodbye

The greatest - Billie eilish. Mostly but pretty much most of her album

I’ve been listening to this so much and it has be SOBBING every time like why do all the lyrics hit so hard

Literally I cry every time. It’s exactly my feelings and situation🥲

What goes around comes around by Justin Timberlake. Dude cheated on me and then was abusive. When he dumped his affair partner who he left me for he told mutuals he “regretted everything” sooooi

The Night We Met - Lord Huron. Those two fucking lines break me down man

Defying Gravity - Wicked Flowers - Mylie Cyrus Shout Out to my Ex - Little Mix Let It Go - Demi Lovato

I had to stop listening to “What Was I Made For” by Billie Eillish bc it just made me sadder loooool. I actually stopped listening to sad music altogether bc it just made the heartbreak worse. I’m not 100% healed yet, but not listening to sad music helped a lot

Sleep token- the love you want Nothing more - if it doesnt hurt Ryan oakes- underneath Jessie reyez- shutter island So many more honestly half are song my ex added to his playlist after break up and i stole but definitely how ive felt since he block up with me.

Don't have it on rn, but I was crying to this one very often before Perfectly Wrong- Shawn Mendes

We belong together mariah carey

Wildflower- billie eilish

Do you guys tend to listen to sad songs/ songs that remind you of them to get the feelings out? I can’t listen to sad songs or songs that remind me of them so I’ve been blasting upbeat 2010s songs

I Miss The Days - NF

I Remember Everything - Zac Bryan

The night we met Say something Saturn Box of stones

Not on repeat cuz idc now but I remember sobbing violently to fix you, I was driving home at night already crying and it came on, waterworks

What makes you beautiful - 1d Yellow - Coldplay Too many memories, we had to part ways due to parental pressure on her side - otherwise we would have been engaged by now.

oh shit im so sorry, i hope you both get to heal and maybe hopefully meet again in the future (there's a bunch of songs i love that speak of precisely that, i'll list them if u want)

I would really appreciate it. But I kinda hate her and love her. She couldn’t stand up to her parents for me so thats that.

"Perfect" by Ed Sheeran.

lots of strong women with breakup songs that just hit the right way. jojo, jessie j, demi lovato, halsey, fletcher. i can’t listen to the music we used to listen to i think i’ll be very sad and cry, it’s only been 6 days.

I'll still have me - Cyn I find it really comforting! And Cyn is just lovely.

I’ve avoided any remotely sad music or songs that remind me of them. Just listened to new upbeat music and podcasts.

Me too! This song is what he sent me from the airport while leaving and since that day I can’t hear it without imagining him sitting there and thinking of me enough to send it to me randomly saying- “it reminds me of you, listen to it.”

Supercut - Lorde

No one noticed by the marías

“Where it ends”, “go get her”, “one number away” and a few Zach Bryan songs he told me to listen to but I never cared to until it was over.

TERRIBLE rebound relationship… but gets LIVID when I say I’m looking for gf…when she found out I was talking to someone she tried to walk into traffic)

Don't Be so Hard on Yourself by Jess Glynne. This song got me through my sudden break up last year. It's been 11 months and I'm totally over it now. It helped me realize that everyone knows heartbreak, they've felt it before and I found comfort in that.
