These songs aren't meant to only make you cry, but to make you smile, feel nostalgic, dance, etc. Songs for every mood.
1. When you're in love and thinking about that chick (or dude):
She's Got You High- Mumm-ra.
She's got you high, and you don't even know yet.
2. When you're feeling angsty about all the awful political/social things happening in the world:
Hands Held High- Linkin Park
It's ironic, at times like this you pray/ But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
3. When you're feeling normal teenage angst:
Misery Business- Paramore
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged, / I'm sorry honey, but I passed it up, now look this way.
4. When growing up is hard:
Stop this Train- John Mayer
Stop this train/ I want to get off and go home again/ I can't take the speed it's moving
5. When you need a reminder that you're great:
Who Says- Selena Gomez (But Perfect by P!nk was a close second. I recommend you listen to both)
You made me insecure,Told me I wasn’t good enough./ But who are you to judge when you’re a diamond in the rough?
6. When you're in that weird in-between of "friends" and "more than friends":
Friends- Ed Sheeran
Friends just sleep in another bed, And friends don't treat me like you do./ Well I know that there's a limit to everything, But my friends won't love me like you.
7. When you need a song to listen to with the windows down:
There Goes the Fear- Doves
Think of me when you're coming down/ But don't look back when leaving town
8. When you need a good dance song:
Best Song Ever- One Direction
And I know, you know, I hope you'll remember how we danced how we danced
9. When you're going through a breakup:
Who other than Taylor Swift?
Taylor Swift- Forever and Always
I hold onto the night, / You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me/ Were you just kidding?/ 'Cause it seems to me, this thing is breaking down
10. When you're conflicted about your friendship/relationship:
All at Once- The Fray
There are certain people you just keep coming back to/ She is right in front of you/ You begin to wonder could you find a better one/ Compared to her, now she's in question
11. When you're uncertain about your purpose/ wondering if you belong/ in a sucky situation:
Temporary Home- Carrie Unerwood
This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going/ I'm not afraid because I know this is my Temporary home
and finally, in my opinion, the most important:
12. When you need a reminder that you're never alone:
On the Way Home- John Mayer
But just remember on the way home/ That you were never meant to feel alone
Happy listening!
