To Help You Stop Crying in Your Car.
As a kid in the 90s, I watched my older sister go through her first break-up. We listened to a lot of Alanis Morrissette. That’s when I learned that a cathartic break-up playlist is essential for moving on.
As an adult, I created this playlist for friends going through break-ups. One divorced friend told me she listened to it for the next 8 years. I have updated it just slightly since 8 years ago. There are songs for each stage of getting over someone (see individual songs for specific categories).
