When you don’t have someone to share your loneliness with, listen to this track and quietly let it ease your frustration.
When I Was Your ManBruno Mars9rank/position
A song whose piano timbre evokes loneliness.
True to its title, this track conjures the image of a lover who is no longer by your side, and lets you fully savor Bruno Mars’s overwhelming vocal prowess.

Be sure to have a handkerchief ready when you listen.

A track from Sam Smith’s debut album, “In The Lonely Hour.” It’s a song about the indescribable loneliness felt when parting ways with a one-night companion.

You’re BeautifulJames Blunt14rank/position
This is a moving song about unrequited love by British singer-songwriter James Blunt.
Released in May 2005, it was inspired by his experience of unexpectedly seeing a former lover on the subway with a new partner.
Featured on the album “Back to Bedlam,” it became a major hit, reaching number one in 13 countries worldwide.
In Japan, it was used as an insert song for the Fuji TV drama “Kobayakawa Nobuki no Koi” and as a commercial song for the Toyota Vitz.
Although it may sound romantic at first, it actually conveys bittersweet feelings and complex emotions, resonating deeply with those who have experienced heartbreak or parting.
