Sad sh*t I just can’t get over- playlist🤷🏾♀️
Some things you just can’t get over in a short period of time, and that’s OK. Let yourself be sad, angry, or frustrated now, so you can move on later. All that matters is you’re doing what you can, so don’t feel bad for feeling stuck because I know it sounds cliché but it’ll work out. #blackgirlcreator #music #PLAYLIST #embracevulnerability #mentalhealth
Sometimes, life throws things our way that we just can't shake off easily. You know those feelings – a lingering sadness, a sense of unresolved anger, or just feeling utterly stuck. I’ve found that one of the best ways to navigate these heavy emotions is through music. That’s why I put together this playlist, filled with songs that truly resonate when I’m in that headspace, a collection I affectionately call my "things I just can't get over" playlist. First up, Current Joys is practically synonymous with raw, melancholic beauty. Their track "Blondie" has this way of capturing a specific kind of longing and introspection that just hits different. It's one of those songs that makes you feel seen in your quiet sadness. And if you’re looking for something even deeper, "New Flesh" by Current Joys offers another layer of profound, almost existential melancholy that's perfect for those really heavy days. Then there’s Salvia Palth’s "i was all over her." This lo-fi gem is incredibly introspective and has a haunting quality that feels like a gentle echo of past feelings. The distinctive cover art itself hints at the evocative, dreamlike state the song induces. It’s a track that allows you to relive emotions in a safe, cathartic way, making it a staple for anyone processing lingering memories. Beach House's "Master of None" offers a dreamy, ethereal soundscape that's perfect for introspection. As the title suggests for me, it just feels too real sometimes, providing a serene backdrop for when your thoughts are swirling and you need a space to just be. Similarly, Clairo's "Feel Something" is a gentle, vulnerable track that acknowledges numbness and the quiet yearning to reconnect with your emotions. It’s a tender reminder that it's okay to seek out feeling, even if those feelings are sad. Lucy Dacus's "Night Shift" is a powerhouse of emotional intensity and narrative. It's a perfect song for processing heartbreak or significant life changes, with lyrics that cut deep and a build-up that truly embodies emotional release. For a softer, more wistful kind of sadness, Men I Trust's "I Hope to Be Around" offers a soothing yet melancholic vibe that can feel hopeful, even amidst sorrow. And who can forget Daniel Caesar's "Loose"? This soulful, reflective track is exactly the kind of song you just stare into space while listening to. It allows your mind to wander, to process, and to simply exist in the moment of your feelings. Mitski's "My Love Mine All Mine" brings an intense focus on love and possession, even when intertwined with sadness, making it incredibly relatable for complex emotional states. Finally, Lana Del Rey's "Salvatore" wraps you in a cinematic, romantic melancholy that truly makes you feel like you're floating. It's grand and immersive, providing a beautiful escape or a heightened sense of connection to your own dramatic inner world. Each of these songs, in their unique way, helps me embrace vulnerability and process those things I just can’t get over immediately. They're not just songs; they're companions on the journey of emotional healing.
