How Do I Say GoodbyeDean Lewis98rank/position
Dean Lewis is a singer-songwriter from Australia who has earned international acclaim for his emotionally rich lyrics and deeply resonant melodies.
This track, released in September 2022, was created based on his experience when his father was diagnosed with a serious illness.
The lyrics, which express the fear and love surrounding the inevitability of having to say goodbye to someone precious, offer a deeply relatable reflection on family.
The structure is also superb, unfolding from a quiet piano- and strings-led intro into a gradually intensifying climax.
Check it out when you want to reflect on your relationships with family or revisit your feelings for someone important to you.
Good Luck, Babe!Chappell Roan99rank/position
In recent years, singer-songwriter Chappell Roan has been gaining international attention.
She’s won popularity for her expressive artistry rooted in queer culture and a sound reminiscent of 1980s synth-pop.
Released in 2024, this work portrays a relationship with someone who can’t accept their true feelings.
It carries a poignant message to a lover who keeps running from the truth out of fear of society’s gaze: one day, you’ll regret it.
Singing about the struggles of love and the pain of hiding your true self, the song reminds us of the importance of being who we are.
It’s a track I especially hope middle schoolers wrestling with friendship or romance will listen to.
THE LONELIESTMåneskin100rank/position
A gem of a ballad by the Italian rock band Måneskin that poignantly sings of the pain of parting from a loved one.
Damiano’s sweet, aching vocals resonate deep within the heart.
Released on October 7, 2022, this work beautifully depicts lost love and moves listeners to the core.
It’s a warm song that offers comfort to those who have lost someone dear or are trying to overcome a heartfelt farewell.
How about listening to it on a night when you want to look back on memories with someone you love?
