Sharan Q “Sly Woman” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

This is a hardcore heartbreak song, so I want you to sing it while deliberately facing reality.

In the end, the song concludes with a lingering desire to see her again, so it’s a perfect recommendation for someone who still can’t get over his ex.

Sing it and give her a call.

A song that feels like it’s about truly loving someone for the first time and a love that can’t be fulfilled.

You can feel the woman’s emotions overflowing—she loves them so much that she can’t forget, even if she wants to.

It seems to sing about the struggle of not being able to move on, because the other person’s presence remains so significant even after the breakup.

A song about the frustration and loneliness of a man who was dumped after the woman he truly loved found someone she likes—or a new boyfriend.

It’s a masterpiece that captures the complexity of a man’s feelings: even as he’s jealous and doesn’t want her to grow more beautiful through a new love, he still wishes for her happiness.

A song packed with a man’s lingering feelings and regret for his ex-girlfriend.

Only after the breakup does he realize the anxieties she had been carrying, and he pleads with her, driven by a strong desire to start over.

The chorus features lyrics that express his feelings for her in a straightforward way, making your heart skip a beat.

back number – From the Hands We Held

Switching gears from a wistful slow ballad, this is a pop number that sets a spineless man’s far-too-late regret to a light, breezy melody.

The tune is very bright with catchy phrases that stick in your head, but the lyrics are regret, regret, and more regret.

It’s said that most of back number’s lyrics are based on real-life episodes they actually experienced, giving us glimpses into various sad experiences.

The Silence of Sunlight Through the Trees

Depending on how you look at it, it might not be a heartbreak, but it’s a song about parting with someone important.

Within the gently enveloping singing voice, I feel there’s an intense, aching emotion—so strong it makes you want to cry out.

This is a song I really want people to hear if the person they like already has a partner but they still don’t want to give up.

You can’t just run away without putting up a fight! That feeling overflows in the lyrics and makes you realize all over again how powerful love can be.

I’m sure it will give you courage too!
