Songs to Cry Your Guts Out To
Working today, the song that I always went to a lot of my teens when I just really needed to cry my guts out, and either needed some help shaking that out, or just felt like often "matched" my pain and hurt while I was in a bad space randomly came on my shuffle. (New Order's "Elegia," should anyone be curious.)
Seriously, that song probably saved my life a whole bunch of time, per just making feel like I had permission and company to let some of the hard feelings out that would have imploded or exploded in bad ways had they been kept all locked up inside. It was my broken heart's power jam.
Do you have one (or more) of these?

Re: Songs to Cry Your Guts Out To
The first that comes to mind is one from my dark period a couple years ago: Fade, by Staind. It puts to words and music the feeling of not having anywhere to let your emotions out because no one will listen. And there's a little positivity in there too.
(Of course what I was upset about was a guy not listening to me about the fact that we should be in a relationship... which was because we'd discussed it already and he'd decided against it. So not the most valid thing in the world. But it would apply much better to situations where the not-listening was actually unreasonable and mean.)

The only one that comes to mind is "Forgettable" by Project 46 ft. Olivia. I was going through a tough time. So i posted something on my instagram story and one of my friends replied to it saying he had some good songs to listen to. and he sent them to me and "Forgettable" was one of them. I seriously bawled when I heard that song.
