Sad Girl Anthems

Sometimes, all you need is a good cry.

Or good music. Or both.

These are my favourite songs to listen to when I wanna feel very sorry for myself.

1. Lana Del Rey - Young and Beautiful

I know Lana literally has a song called "sad girl," but hear me out. When you need a good bawl, "Young and Beautiful" will promise you eternal love then sprinkle it with doubt and mortality.

2. Florence and the Machine - Howl

I usually listen to Florence when I wanna feel powerful, but Howl makes me howl.

3. Adele - Set Fire to the Rain

This song makes me want to do, well, set fire to the rain. Among other things. Like crying about a breakup.

4. Marina and the Diamonds - Teen Idle

Marina is such a sad girl icon. Especially when she's singing about wasting your youth.

5. Eivor - Rain

Is it rain or is it the tears streaming down my cheeks, oh my God. This song is brutal.

6. Amanda Palmer - Bed Song

The only thing sadder than a break up song? A song about growing apart.

7. Princess Chelsea - The Cigarette Duet

A subtle song about control and resentment. If you've been there, you know.

8. London Grammar - Nightcall

It's the piano, man. (Not to be confused by "Piano Man" by Billy Joel.)

9. Billie Eilish - What Was I Made For

I just miss my Barbie doll
