Songs to Help You Get over Someone

I want to make a thread to help others or just to discuss songs that have helped you when you're going/gone through a rough patch to do with love or relationships.

Here's a few of mine:

Jo-Jo: Too Little Too Late, When Love Hurts, Say Love and Save My Soul

Ariana Grande: Problem, Break Your Heart Right Back

Mariah Carey: Standing O, Angels Cry, More than Just Friends, Shake it Off, H.A.T.E. U

Ed Sheeran: Shirtsleeves, Nina, Don't, I Don't Need You

Rihanna: Complicated, Fading, Raining Men, We All Want Love, Drunk on Love, Farewell, Stay, What Now? and No Love Allowed.

Taylor Swift: pretty much all of her songs are uplifting!

I agree the depressing ones should only be used briefly. Much better to use empowering songs to get over someone.

Which reminds me - Roar and Part of Me by Katy Perry :smile:
Just listen to some heavy metal to block out the pain </3
David Guetta - Titanium (feat. Sia)

Trussssst me, it helps.

Check out Against The Current's music. I always play it if I'm starting to feel a little down :h:

Especially their EP Gravity and their new single Outsiders :woo: makes me so happy...
Bit old school but Kaiser Cheifs - Everyday I Love You Less and Less.
Jar of hearts- christina perri
Anything by Metallica, Korn, well any metal really. Bon Jovi - It's My Life, Pink You And Your Hand.
Forget Her - Jeff Buckley
Just Like A Woman - Jeff Buckley
Losing My Religion - REM
Someone Like You - Adele
505 - Arctic Monkeys
Anything by Radiohead

And then If you just have plain and simple angst then out of heavier music I'd say Nirvana, Rage Against The Machine, System Of A Down...

Kelly clarkson's songs are wonderful when going through a break up. And Adele.

I don't, no :redface:

A friend pointed me towards them and I have all their music saved on Spotify, but I haven't explored their YouTube presence...
Flor - Unsaid

Well they have a YouTube channel and they used to post covers before they were really known and collaborated with the other YouTubers they know too.
