8 Songs To Listen To If You Feel Like Crying

In This Article:

It's winter and we are all feeling a little seasonal depression, why not seep into your own misery with songs that will make you even more sad? Haven't thought about your ex in a while, well get ready because most of these are about lost love. These are in no particular order because they all have their special way of being sad af.

1. Harvest Moon - Neil Young

One of the most nostalgic and heartbreaking songs in my collection, listen only if you want to reminisce about a love you never had.

2. The Night We Met - Lord Huron

media.giphy.com

Sure this may be the "sad song" from 13 Reasons Why, but if you can get past that, sink into the desperation of a man yearning for the love of the one who left him. Pro tip: listen while wistfully looking out of your car window.

3. Girl from the North Country - Bob Dylan with Johnny Cash

media.giphy.com

This is and will forever remain one of my favorite songs ever. The unrehearsed quality just makes the genuine feel of the song even stronger. Again, about lost love but I mean that sh*t is sad.

4. Clair de Lune - Claude Debussy

media.giphy.com

Now there are many recordings of this popular composition, but make sure you look for the one by François-Joël Thiollier!!!! It is breathtaking, This song is for all the people who want to cry, but about nothing in particular. No need for lost love here, just beautiful music.

5. Homebody - Nai Palm

media.giphy.com

I cannot describe the immense beauty in this song. It is not sad, but it will make you cry. It's all about finding home inside of yourself and how time heals all wounds. The vocals of Nai Palm are UNMATCHED. She is my hero. Feel free to also check out Hiatus Kaiyote if you want some cool tunes.

6.  When the Night Comes - Dan Auerbach

media.giphy.com

Another good ass song, Dan's voice is perfection. This one is about actual love that hasn't been lost yet, which could either be a reprieve from the rest of the songs or make you feel even more lonely.

7. Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley

media.giphy.com

I have been listening to this song since probably the 7th grade, so like 10 years at this point. It will not make me sad as hell. As I grow up, I keep finding different meanings in the lyrics which makes my connection to the song even stronger.

8. Intertwined - Dodie

media.giphy.com

If you're into pondering your own morality, this is the song for you. All about time passing, love coming and going, children growing, and ships passing, this song will definitely have you in some feels.

Honestly, this list was way harder to make than I thought it would be because apparently, all I listen to are sad songs. But now that I've discovered that I'm way more emo than I thought, hopefully, you can too. Enjoy!

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
