Sad Love Songs

Sometimes we don’t want to hear an upbeat song about love and how great it is. After a breakup or a bad romantic situation, sad love songs are the best medicine.

1. “Unbreak My Heart” — Toni Braxton

Who could forget the video — Braxton’s lover dies right at the opening and she spends the next four minutes mourning him in verse. This song reminds me of school dances, and if that isn’t a time for love and yearning then nothing is.

2. “Superstar” — The Carpenters

Karen Carpenter has a timeless voice, and this song can bring any heart broken lover to their knees.

3. “American Pie” — Don McLean

Okay — this song is a little long, but the lyrics and the classic melody make it an ideal love song for remember loves gone by.

4. “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” — The Bee Gees

This love song from one of pop’s super groups The Bee Gees is on this list because of the lyrics. “How can you mend a broken man / How can a loser ever win?”

5. “I Will Remember You” — Sarah McLachlan

A haunting melody and lyrics about past love cement this song’s position on the list of great sad love songs.
