- "A Hug Too Long" by Eskimeaux
So maybe I’m dead wrong
A hug too long
I went for your hair
And if you ever want me
You’ll hear this song.
The song for when you have a crush and you don’t know if it’s reciprocated.
2. "Half Moon" by Waxahatchee
Our love tastes like sugar but it pulls all the life out of me
The song for when your relationship is taking too much out of you.
3. "C U Around" by PWR BTTM
I'm looking forward to the day
when I can see your face
and not wonder what it was I did
that made you run away
The song for when you see your ex-lover and you feel nostalgic.
4. "Emily" by Girlpool
But I'm still here
Remember me
The song for when you have a deep emotional relationship with someone who seems to be leaving you behind.
5. "Soil, Soil" by Tegan and Sara
All you need to say to me
Is call (call)
And I'll be curled on the floor
Hiding out from it all
And I won't take any other call
The song for when you would do anything for someone, but they wouldn’t do the same.
6. "Sprained Ankle" by Julien Baker
Whenever I'm alone with you, can't talk,
Isn't this weather nice? Sure you're OK?
The song for when there is something going on between you and someone else, but you two can’t talk about it. (Just a note--I don’t know if Julien Baker is queer.)
7. "First Love Never Die" by Soko
4 years and I still cry sometimes
First love never die
The song for when you’re feeling really nostalgic about an old relationship.
8. "I Don’t Smoke" by Mitski (Specifically look at the Audiotree Live version.)
if your hands need to break
more than trinkets in your room
you can lean on my arm
as you break my heart
The song for when you are willing to do anything for the other person in the relationship, to the point of destruction.
9. "Michel" by Eskimeaux
Our fun is toxic and bold,
embellished and oversold.
The song for when you had fun in a relationship, but it went really wrong.
10. "First Love / Late Spring" by Mitski
so please hurry leave me
I can't breathe
please don't say you love me
The ultimate queer, sad song about heartbreak and toxic love. If you're feeling terribly dejected, this is the song for you!
