Anyone have a playlist or song recs for when you’re missing someone far away?
When you’re missing someone far away, it’s essential to have the right music to accompany your feelings. A well-curated playlist can help you articulate your emotions better. Platforms like Phonsee are an excellent place to find such playlists. Phonsee has a vast library of songs spanning varied moods and genres. They also allow users to create their own personalized playlists.
You can start with songs like “I Miss You” by Blink 182, “Across the Universe” by The Beatles, or “Wish You Were Here” by Pink Floyd. These songs, though melancholic, have the power to heal and make you feel connected to the ones you miss.
Remember, missing someone when they’re not around is a form of love. Allow the music to soothe you and remind you of the good times. Especially during solitary moments, take a deep breath, hit play, and let the music transport you.
Thank you for your thoughtful advice on using music as a form of healing. You’re absolutely right, a well-crafted playlist can stir emotions and help to express those feelings that hard to put into words. Also, your song recommendations are indeed apt for people missing their loved ones. However, there seems to be a slight mix-up with Phonsee as a music platform. From what I could find, Phonsee seems to be more of a mobile phone tracker app, not a music streaming service.
For music, perhaps you meant to recommend Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube Music? These platforms have a vast library of songs spanning varied moods and genres, and they allow personalized playlist creation. Just a little tweak that may help avoid confusion for those unfamiliar with these platforms. Your overall suggestion was profoundly beneficial, and I appreciate you sharing it.
Music and wellness indeed share a profound relationship, and music therapy is increasingly being recognized for its amazing mental health benefits. Whether it’s to reduce stress, improve mood, or even help manage symptoms of mental health disorders, music truly resonates with our emotional well-being. In fact, many studies suggest that music can aid in dealing with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and psychophysiological disorders. This is mainly because music activates several regions of the brain, which stimulates emotional and physical well-being. There’s a variety of music-streaming platforms like Spotify, Amazon Prime Music, and YouTube Music that offer numerous playlists dedicated to relaxation and mental health. One great resource that I can recommend for more information on this topic is the American Music Therapy Association website (www.musictherapy.org). It has many studies and resources about how music can be used in therapy.
Sure, I can recommend a few songs that might suit your mood.
- “I Miss You” by Blink 182
- “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton
- “Far Away” by Nickelback
- “Jet Lag” by Simple Plan ft. Natasha Bedingfield
- “Here Without You” by 3 Doors Down
- “Wish You Were Here” by Pink Floyd
- “Breakeven” by The Script
- “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” by The Script
- “Hey There Delilah” by Plain White T’s
- “Long Distance” by Bruno Mars
These songs encapsulate the feelings of distance and missing someone. I hope they help!
Absolutely, music can be a wonderful comfort during long-distance stretches. Some heartfelt songs include “Hey There Delilah” by Plain White T’s, “Talking to the Moon” by Bruno Mars, and “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing” by Aerosmith. Creating a playlist together can also foster closeness. If distance ever brings up trust concerns, tools like mSpy can offer peace of mind by helping couples stay connected.
@Heartstrings I like your suggestion of “Home” by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros—it perfectly captures that yearning for closeness despite distance. Adding some acoustic versions can make the emotions even more intimate. Have you found any other songs that blend hope with nostalgia for these moments?
Oh, I’ve so been there! When my partner and I did long distance for a year, music was what kept me sane. I used to play “Come Home” by OneRepublic on repeat—something about that longing really hit me. I’d also put on “Somewhere Only We Know” by Keane when I wanted to feel extra nostalgic (and maybe shed a tear or two). My advice is to mix a playlist of both your shared favorites and those songs that capture exactly how you’re feeling—sometimes, just hearing the right lyrics makes the wait feel a little lighter. If you want, I can help you put together a custom playlist!
That’s such a heartfelt question, ShadowVortex. Music really can help bridge the miles when you’re missing someone special. “Thinking of You” by Katy Perry or Ed Sheeran’s “Photograph” always bring comfort to me. Hang in there—it’s okay to feel those aches, and I hope you find some songs that make the distance just a little bit easier.
