Love hurts. And no one understands your pain, right? Wrong. We got you, baby. We got you. These are the songs for when we're communally heartbroken in CT Towers *Begins sobbing uncontrollably*
In no particular order:
Adele- Someone Like You
The definitive heartbreak song. If you're a girl (or a boy), this will be played loudly in your bedroom as you stare at the ceiling and want to die.
Sam Smith ft. John Legend- Lay Me Down

Sam Smith has taken the mantle from Adele until she's finished writing her next breakup album. His voice just gets your torn-apart soul. But when Johnny Legend starts to sing on this track... He starts your healing process because his voice is like when you climb a mountain only to find a stream of the clearest spring water you've ever seen at the top. You cup it in your hands, the water touches your lips and you begin to find yourself again. Yeah, that specific.
Kodaline- All I Want

Because breakups are hard for everyone involved; whether you're the dumper or dumpee, there'll always be a phase where you want to hear the knock on your door and see their face. Just once more.
Maroon 5- She Will Be Loved
Sometimes, you might feel like you'll never have anyone that loves you unconditionally. Then Adam Levine and his friends come along and let you know that everything is OK and that there's someone out there feeling lonely who's waiting for you, too.
Michael Andrews & Gary Jules- Mad World

For when the depression gets to its lowest point, this is what's playing in your heart.

This is one you might not have heard before now, but it's perfect for when the montage of memories is playing on a loop in your head. It's still OK to cry.
Paolo Nutini- Last Request
There are some relationships when you know it's going to end before it actually does, and you still can't let go, and that's OK. Let Paolo sing to you through those days or weeks before you really need...
Coldplay- Fix You

When the breakup happens all of a sudden. You were happy and in love, and now it's gone. Sir Paul McCartney knows. But like Fleetwood Mac say, don't stop thinking about tomorrow, it'll soon be here and it'll be better than before.
U2- Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
It's OK not to be OK, sometimes you need to ask for help to make it through. That's what family and friends are for.
Fleetwood Mac- Songbird

You've cried all your tears, but you still miss them. Christine McVie has the song that you're feeling right now.
Aslan- This Is

It's time to crawl before you walk tall again. You still have a lot of emotions flying around, and you can see the different struggles people have a little clearer. You'll start to make your peace with what's gone, and you know that the meaning of love will be found somewhere soon. Smile my friend, it's the best thing you'll ever wear.
Sarah McLachlan- Angel
Heartbreak isn't always about breakups. This is a song for the heartbroken missing their angels.
