Loneliness can sometimes feel like eternal existential angst. Writers like Albert Camus, Jean Paul Sartre, and Franz Kafka have devoted novels wrestling with this feeling and what it says about the human condition. So it’s safe to say that loneliness as a state of being has been around for years.

Jump ahead to these sections:

When words literally fail you, or you’re just not into reading existential philosophy, you can listen to some melancholic melodies. Music can tug at our heartstrings without words, so if you’re feeling down and lonely, put on some jams to get you through this moment. You may even want to share a playlist and a Spotify gift card with a friend who's feeling similarly.

Taken from their 1999 album Summerteeth, Wilco’s lead singer Jeff Tweedy starts off this melancholic song with a list of advice based on the title. It’s a despondent number that inevitably does the opposite, but maybe it’ll make you feel better.

Long before Twenty One Pilots got famous with albums like Blurryface, they wrote raw, piano-oriented songs like this one.
