This is the second of the third part of a ~sad~ playlist suggestion that I have carefully created. This section is what I call “everything else.” As a preview, my last playlist is my top ten! So until we get to the most exciting blog for the next time, we must patiently wait, and while we wait, we can dissect some of these songs. (Hint: some of these songs might actually be on next week’s playlist, but not all of them!”

Oof, that’s a hefty playlist. I didn’t realize how many songs I actually had until I had to type them out. As you can see, there is a wide range of artists and genres, and there is even a wide range of kinds of sadness that is portrayed in the songs. Of course, a lot of them are about breakups, some about feeling insecure, some about feeling like one has to leave because they feel like they are hurting people, and some about missing the ones they love.
A lot of these songs are hit songs from years ago. So not only do they vibe with my sadness, but they also bring me back to a nostalgic time, where I was a different person and it reminds me of all of the things that I have gotten through in my past.
I hope you take a listen to these songs. While they do bring me sadness, it actually makes me happy that I have these grouped together and found my passion for discussing the songs that make me feel different ways.
