Olivia Rodrigo – vampire (Official Video)

Olivia Rodrigo’s “vampire” is a memorable piece.

In the song, she expresses the pain of saying goodbye through heartbreak and the aches of growing up, coming at us with her uniquely emotive style.

Like a vampire, the way she longs night after night for the lover who’s gone evokes a devoted kind of love that anyone can imagine.

Olivia’s expressive vocals brilliantly convey complex emotions, drawing listeners into her world.

It’s a song worth hearing not only as a breakup track, but also as a step toward growth.

Phillip Phillips – Gone, Gone, Gone

If you’re looking for a moving goodbye song, I recommend “Gone, Gone, Gone.” Strictly speaking, it’s not a goodbye song, but it carries the message, “Even if we say goodbye, I’ll keep on loving you,” so I decided to feature it this time.

The melody is very refreshing, so even those who aren’t into Western music will find it easy to listen to.

When you want to express your love to your partner, this song can help you open up.

Be sure to give it a listen!

Journey – Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) (Official HD Video – 1983)

When you think it’s all over, you can no longer change your world.

Journey’s “Separate Ways” portrays, on an epic scale, the clingy vulnerability of a man who can’t forget his former partner even after choosing to part ways.

It carries a positive message that if you don’t give up, there’s no need to rush.

All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault) (Lyric Video)

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift enjoys worldwide popularity and is known for her wide-ranging musical style, spanning country, pop, and rock.

This work is her reconstruction of a track from the 2012 classic album Red into a 10-minute-13-second extended version on the 2021 album Red (Taylor’s Version).

It became a major talking point as the longest song ever to reach No.

1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S.

Its lyrics vividly depict the pain of heartbreak, making it perfect for listening closely on long, chilly autumn nights.

She also directed the short film All Too Well: The Short Film, which lets you immerse yourself even more deeply in the world of the song through its visuals.

The Weeknd – Out of Time

Hailing from Canada and transcending the boundaries of contemporary R&B to stand as a top star in the world of popular music, The Weeknd is known for crafting many songs inspired by his own romantic experiences.

His ability to transform even messages steeped in lingering feelings for an ex into mysterious, beautiful masterpieces is nothing short of remarkable.

Among his sad yet beautiful breakup songs, this time we’ll focus on “Out of Time,” released in 2022.

Featured on his fifth studio album, Dawn FM, it became a hot topic for sampling “MIDNIGHT PRETENDERS,” composed by Tetsurō Oda and included on Tomoko Aran’s 1983 album Fuyū Kūkan—a classic of Japanese city pop.

While the track is a sleek, urban pop song that’s a pleasure to listen to, the lyrics, as the title suggests, express thoughts for a former lover that arrive too late, no matter how much one regrets.

Some listeners may find it so relatable that it’s almost painful.
