Cry Baby Playlist

A perfect selection of music to accompany your tears.

I believe that playlists are essential for road trips, parties, working out, special occasions, and most importantly, for your moods.

Fade Into You - Mazzy Star

"I wanna hold the hand inside you, I wanna take the breath that's true."

The bittersweet feeling of falling-in-love with someone incapable of feeling that love. Fading into someone who is not fading back. There is so much disappointment and heartbreak in this song. It’s beautiful.

Falling for you - The 1975

"I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you. Maybe you'll change your mind."

Once again a song of the desperate need to have your love reciprocated. Dedicating yourself to someone or something that might love you, eventually. The feeling of invisibility with the added bonus of long, drawn out notes, makes for a perfect sad song.

Where Does The Good Go - Tegan and Sara

"What do you do with the left over you?"

Anything from this Canadian twin sister duo is sure to keep the tears rolling. This song in particular explores a part of sadness that I had once never thought of. It questions, as the title refers to, where does the good go? Although this song is speaking of a breakup, falling out of love or having your heart broken is not a limitation of this song. Down to the core, this song is about trying to find what is left of you after a loss.

Tear Down The House - The Avett Brothers

"I remember crying over you, and I don't mean like a couple of tears and I'm blue. I'm talking about collapsing and screaming at the moon, but I'm a better man for having gone through it."

Face it, we’ve all been there; that kind of uncontrollable, unrealistically dramatic cry. Whether it was because of yourself, a relationship, family problems, etc. this song is relatable in that sense.

Unsteady - X Ambassadors

"I know you're trying to fight when you feel like flying."

If you haven’t listened to this song on repeat and cried then what are you doing with your life? This is the perfect song to play in the background while you are staring aimlessly at the ceiling trying to evaluate your life. Not that I would know or anything.

I Gave You All - Mumford & Sons

"I never meant you any harm, but your tears feel warm as they fall on my forearms."

There is something about folk music that can bring out the real tears. Mumford & Sons have a way with taking average words and turning them into a sort of poetry that your heart strings were not ready for.

You Could Be Happy - Snow Patrol

"Do the things that you always wanted to, without me there to hold you back."

This song! A simple meaning behind the lyrics; simple enough to hit you in the gut. A song of regret and sadness, with a happy tune in the background.

West Coast - Coconut Records

"I talk out loud like you're still around."

A certain hint of nostalgia that is beautifully heartbreaking. A relationship of independence, where interdependence is still wanted.

I Can't Make You Love Me - Bonnie Raitt

"I can't make you love me if you don't. You can't make your heart feel something it won't."

Although Bon Iver has a beautiful rendition of this song, the original is the best. I remember my mother singing this to me whenever it would come on our local oldies radio station. Even as a kid I was aware of the sadness of this song. You can’t make someone love you.

Lack Of Color - Death Cab For Cutie


"I know it's too late and I should have given you a reason to stay."

Just cry.

So there you have it, a perfectly cry-able list of songs! Enjoy!

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
