Music board lurker here but I just had my heart ripped out by someone I thought I was going to marry. I’ve never hurt this bad before. I need some songs to get me through my 9-5 without losing my mind. I listen to a variety of genres but here are some I’m listening to so far to get me through the day.

Timshel - Mumford and Sons
Fix You - Coldplay
Whispers - Passenger
Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright
Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwo’ole
Agnes - Glass Animals
Does to me - Luke Combs

I’m a softie and seem to have a pretty basic taste in music compared to most people on here but still any help is appreciated.

Fleetwood Mac - "Gypsy"

Stevie Nicks wrote this about the lowest point in her life. It is an acknowledgment of loss and an uncertain future.

Belle & Sebastian - "Sleep the Clock Around" (the Black Sessions version is best)

Belle & Sebastian - "Get Me Away from Here, I'm Dying"

Ultimately a hopeful and optimistic song; always makes me smile because it played in Forgetting Sarah Marshall when Jason Segal was surrounded by happy couples.

New Order - "Age of Consent"

Favorite guitar riff in history; a breakup song told from both POV, with a sneer.

I’ve been lucky enough to see them twice over the years , and they rarely ever tour anymore ....

But the first time they played it and the other time they did not ...

in that 9 minutes or so of that performance, I was absolutely transported in my mind to a heaven like place .. it’s the purest art I can find . Amazing.

Lots of songs in here that seem to REMIND me of break ups. This dude needs to be listening to Palmdale by Afroman

When I am irritable I start of my morning with this by Emily Linge (produced by sina-drums, who herself has at least 30 other good originals and covers of a variety of genres):

Morning Has Broken

And follow it up with 3 hours of Angelina Jordan, who has more than 130 different song videos, of which about 60 have good audio.

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For Me
And I'm Feelin' Good

Feeling Good

That’s the idea with me. I like wallowing music.

Yeah I’m just looking for stuff that fits the sad/depressing feelings right now. Helps me get the emotions out of the way quicker.
