Sometimes you just need to cry, and music is one of the best things to help you get there. The right song can help you access the emotions that you’ve had trouble reaching. Whether you need to cry because you have actual problems, or you just need a nice, good emotional release, I’m here to help. Here’s a playlist full of songs that I think are great to cry to. My go-to song will be in a different color than the rest. Read at your own risk.
1. Someone Like You – Adele
“Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead. You know how the time flies, only yesterday was the time of our lives.”
2. Iris – The Goo Goo Dolls
“I don’t want the world to see me, ’cause I don’t think that they’d understand. When everything’s made to broken, I just want you to know who I am.”
3. With Or Without You – U2
“My hands are tied, my body bruised. She’s got me with nothing to win and nothing left to lose.”
4. Vanilla Twilight – Owl City
“The silence isn’t so bad, till I look at my hands and feel sad, ’cause the spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly.”
5. The Scientist – Coldplay
“But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me, oh and I rush to the start. Running in circles, chasing our tails, coming back as we are. Nobody said it was easy, it’s such a shame for us to part.”
6. Belong – Cary Brothers
“I wasn’t taught this way, with a thousand things to say. I was born with a broken heart. What I’d give for that first night when you were mine, thought you were mine.”
7. Love Of My Life – Queen
“Love of my life, can’t you see? Bring it back, bring it back. Don’t take it away from me, because you don’t know what it means to me.”
8. Yesterday – The Beatles
“Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as though they’re here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday. Suddenly, I’m not half the man I used to be. There’s a shadow hanging over me.”
9. I Will Follow You Into the Dark – Death Cab For Cutie
“If there’s no one beside you when your soul embarks, then I’ll follow you into the dark.”
10. Loving You – Elvis Presley
“I could spend my whole life through, loving you, just loving you.”
11. When We Were Young – Adele
“Everybody loves the things you do, from the way you talk to the way you move. And everybody here is watching you, ’cause you feel like home, you’re like a dream come true.”
12. Moon River – Audrey Hepburn and Henry Mancini
“Two drifters off to see the world. There’s such a lot of world to see.”
13. Thirteen – Big Star
“Won’t you let me walk you home from school? Won’t you let me meet you at the pool? Maybe Friday I can get tickets for the dance, and I’ll take you.”
14. Photograph – Ed Sheeran
“We keep this love in this photograph, we keep these memories for ourselves. Where our eyes are never closing, hearts are never broken, and time’s forever frozen still.”
15. Running to Stand Still – U2
“Sweeter the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth. I see seven towers, but I only see one way out. You’ve gotta cry without weeping, talk without speaking, scream without raising your voice. You know I took the poison from the poison stream, then I floated out of here.”
