I’ll be upfront: this is not about me going through a breakup. Life has been lovely and peaceful of late. But I have some friends who have gone through or are going through big breakups and that’s always difficult (especially in cases of divorce). What makes breakups easier? The right music, and great musicians of late have given us some GREAT breakup songs, especially Lil Nas X and Billie Eilish. So here’s my breakup playlist. If you’re going through a hard time, give it a listen, and I hope it lifts your spirit or gives you an outlet for some anger.
- Killer Shangrila- Psychotic Beats
- Happier than Ever- Billie Eilish
- Rent- Big Freedia
- Lost in the Citadel- Lil Nas X
- Night Shift- Lucy Dacus
- Bloodshot- Julien Baker
- I Disappear in Your Arms- Christine and the Queens
- Present Tense- Radiohead
- Look What You Made Me Do- Jack Leopards and the Dolphin Club (there’s rumors this is actually Taylor Swift do a remake of her own song when she was fighting with her record label)
- Motion Sickness- Phoebe Bridgers
- Anything but Me- Muna
- I Never Told You What I Do for a Living- My Chemical Romance
So, there it is. If you’re heartbroken and looking for a pick-me-up, let this playlist be it!
