The beautiful thing about music is that everyone can relate to it. We all have that one song that sums up our lives perfectly. It can explain a situation perfectly, make you feel emotions nothing else can make you feel, it can take you to another world; music is perfection.
Just like with everything else, though, the sadness and loneliness can be perfectly described as well. Any song can relate to one moment, and if you’re familiar with heartbreak and being told you’re not good enough or that there’s someone else, you know that there are plenty of songs out there for you. Here are some songs that anyone who has ever felt like the second choice can relate to:
Jolene - Dolly Parton
I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston
Without You - Hinder
In My Veins - Andrew Belle
Unanswered Prayers - Garth Brooks
As She’s Walking Away - Zac Brown Band
If I Ever Fall In Love - Pentatonix ft. Jason Derulo
Love Again - Pentatonix
You and I - Lady Gaga
Who Am I To Stand In Your Way - Chester See*
Keep Waiting - Chester See*
You’re Not The One - Chester See*
*Really any song by Chester See will suffice if you want to have the feels when you’re a little blue.
Being the second choice is never fun, but no matter what, always remember there’s someone out there for you. If you ever need something to listen too, even just to be sad for a moment, come here and give these songs a listen. It might take some time to find the one whose perfect for you, and you might need to listen to a lot of sappy songs to make it through, but don’t let the heartbreak take away from the Beautiful Life** you can be living.
**Beautiful Life is by the American Idol Season 14 Winner Nick Fradiani. Give it a listen.
