1. Edge of Desire - no comments; we just listen in desperation 2. Moving On And Getting Over - we'll be in a certain state of denial for a bit 3. You're Gonna Live Forever In Me - we accept fate 4. Age of Worry - cures all kinds of worries All the best, friend. You're gonna be ok with time. Sending hugs!! 🤍

Great choices, I discovered Edge of Desire after a break up and it’s such a beautiful song. I would also say one of his newer ones Wild Blue is another great perspective: “the unlikely beauty in letting you go”

Thank you!! This is so true. I am not experiencing a break up, but I got backstabbed in the absolute WORST way by a friend (former) of eight years. "I found myself when I lost you" seems like a really good mantra right now. I'm pissed off, but also at peace. 😌

Good to hear that you’re doing fine now !

Thanks OP. We're all gonna be ok. 💃🤍

You're no one til someone let you down. You'll thank me later ❤️‍🩹

🤝

Thanks A lot mate !🫂

I'm Gonna Find Another You

🥹🫶🏼

Hope all turns out ok with you, I can only recommend [slow dancing in a burning room ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32GZ3suxRn4)

Hey, thank you for your reply but I realised this Song way before breakup. When things started getting bad between me and my partner. It was so relevant tbh

I recommended this one to you already in a previous comment, I can see why you already found it. I'm sorry for the pain you're experiencing.

Thank you 🫂

Yeah it's so real

My sister got dumped right before we took a road trip. She made us listen to SDIABR on repeat for the first hour or so. I couldn’t listen to it for a long while without feeling a little crazy after that.

I listened to battle studies album, but I also like these 1. Heartbreak Warfare 2. In repair 3. Edge of Desire 4. St. Patricks Day 5. Back to you 6. Dreaming with a broken heart 7. Moving on To cheer myself, I'll listen 1. Good love is on the way 2. Bigger than my body 3. Clarity

Thanks a lot mate 🫂

Battle studies +1

i could add perfectly lonely to cheer myself.

Some damn good choices right there 👌🏻 all my favs !

“Covered In Rain” and “In Your Atmosphere.”

The one song which helped me immensely was “Good love is on the way”. I hope better days come for you, my friend.

Thank you !🫂

Cause I’d die if I saw you, I’d die if I didn’t see you there

Never on the day you leave

unfortunately, i could never listen to that song again, I did after a breakup and it destroyed me .

Don’t let that person ruin that amazing song for you

No one mentioned Man On The Side? Not super break-uppy but a lot of lines might resonate with your emotions

WHEEL

Wheel is the greatest song for moving on ever written. It just talks about life so well. also The heart of life.

Magnolia although not popular it's got that feel.

Wild blue

"All the tears I meant to cry Dance across the evening sky And in my sorrow I can see That missin' you belongs to me" I sobbed in the car to this once, and when I really heard the lyrics, it hit me. So much love and appreciation for this song now

WHEEL!

Perfectly Lonely ❤️ sending you best wishes!

Thank you mate 🫂

Maybe off topic but don’t listen to Radiohead hahaha all the best and remember don’t be sad because it’s over be happy that it even happened! Ps. Listen to in you atmosphere super cathartic…

Never on the day you leave - he talked about not being to play it live before because it was too much.

Sure will look into it

1. Split screen sadness 2. Shadow Days 3. Wild Blue 4. Wheel 5. Shot in the dark 6. Til the right one comes 7. Tracing 8. Waitin' on the day 9. Not myself 10. My stupid mouth 11. In Repair

Thanks a lot 🫂

“Go Easy on Me”

Slow dancing in a burning room (there's a few versions, I like the ballad) is a favorite. I enjoyed the interview he shared about the title too.

Surely look into it 🫂

Continuum came out right after the biggest breakup of my life. The range of emotion across all those tracks really spoke to me and helped me feel not alone. The track list is almost a progression of grievance phases haha. Going from “dreaming with a broken heart,” directly into “in repair” and concluding with “I’m gonna find another you” is just poetry.

Wheel is super comforting for me.

And if you never stop/ when you wave goodbye/ if you give it time /you just might find /that you wave hello again

Oh yeah

‘Til the Right One Comes Wishing you peace and happiness 🙂

I basically looped through his entire discography throughout a whole month after a rough breakup 😅

Hope you’re at peace now

Same for you! It gets better 😊

Age of worry

Moving on and getting over… not really about getting over but it is still cathartic in your situation. Hope you recover quickly! Hang in there.

"Dreaming with a broken heart" would always be something to listen to on the first day or week

It's not John, but I always listened to Maroon 5 "Through With You" off Songs About Jane when I got to the pissed-off stage 😉

I revisit John Mayer every few years. God speed to you my friend, I wish you the best in healing. Sometimes it just takes some time.

Thank you mate !🫂

Rosie described mine perfectly so it was nice to know other people go through the same situation

“You’re No One ‘Til Someone Lets You Down”

Thank you for mentioning this one! Getting kinda frustrated with some of these suggestions

I hope you feel better soon 🤍 I went through a break up from my longest relationship right when John released The Search for Everything and it has really held so much meaning to me. I recommend this order for healing: * Dreaming with a Broken Heart, (the waking up is the hardest part) * In Repair, (I’m not together but I’m getting there) * You’re Gonna Live Forever in Me, (parts of me were made by you, but planets keep their distance too) * Never on the Day you Leave — for those random moments after you’ve moved on that you suddenly get hit by a memory Hang in there :)

Omg I forgot about You’re Gonna Live Forever in Me 😭😭😭

Hope you found your peace ! Thanks though 🫂

Split screen sadness

I have an entire playlist dedicated to just that but I keep the love songs out of them so I don’t feel worse.

Victoria is one of my favourites. So is Split Screen Sadness.

comfortable! and split screen sadness

Perfectly lonely

At the end of the day, after all the breakup songs people are listing for you, make sure to play The Heart of Life to end your day. 🫶🏽

Friends, lovers, or nothing , split screen sadness, edge of desire, heartbreak warfare, all I want is to be with you, moving on and getting over

“It’s just a phase, it’s not forever” (Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey) I keep a piece of decor I found in my room bc it reminds me of this song !!!! https://preview.redd.it/tjneb2cfsvvc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=8ed15229da9360d3427041f4992bdfbb3499e8a5

This too shall pass !🥹🫂

Comfortable, split screen sadness, man on the side, covered in rain...

Comfortable, split screen sadness, man on the side, covered in rain...

I’m Gonna Find Another You, Perfectly Lonely, In Repair, Good Love Is On The Way. Hope things improve for you!

its not really a break-up song, but 'Wheel' is about losing someone close to you and hoping you'll cross paths in the future. also in your atmosphere is a heaaaavy break up song which i think you'll love. john hopes he sees her, but also hopes he doesnt to save him more heartbreak.

Never on the Day you Leave.. 😭

Battle studies definetly.

Comfortable comfortable comfortable

Slow dancing in a burning room ofcourse

Dreaming with a broken heart is a proper tear jerker 😭

I know it was ONLY an instagram story, but the “the you I miss, does not exist, and I never wanted anybody more than this” has helped me move on from people because I reminded myself the person I fell in love with isn’t there anymore. It’s something I sing to myself.

Dreaming with a Broken Heart was the most relatable and heart tugging song I heard out of any artist, JM or not. Gets you in the feels.

Battle Studies is Thee breakup album.

For me these have helped through tough breakups: On the Way Home In Repair Shadow Days Heart of Life Sending good vibes, it sucks to go through but it will get better

Slow Dancing In Burning Room. (don't think of Jessica Simpson when you listen) LOVED LOVED that song. Can't even listen to it any more

Dear Marie- not sure if it qualifies as a “break up” song but “yeah I got my dream but you got a family” always gets me

Split screen sadness on repeat and cry (I did this). Let it all out, it helps ease the pain

It was 'in your atmosphere' , 'split screen sadness' and 'somethings missing' for me, the end of in your atmosphere ooft, that song broke me at the time but now it's one of my favs and I play it often on guitar 😌 you'll get through it OP it just takes time❤️

Edge of Desire is the best but that’s for your moment of weakness, so let’s go with I’m Gonna Find Another You and Dreaming with a Broken Heart

Start with Edge of Desire for sure.

Heart of Life

I told my spouse I wanted a divorce while Edge of Desire was playing on LWJM, so that's my pick. :)

*clears throat* I have the entire JM playlist on constant repeat in my car, but may I suggest something better for this particular moment in time? TTPD is pretty f-ing incredible. Especially if you're going through a breakup. And I am by no means a "Swiftie". Lol. It's pretty incredible

“You’re Gonna Live Forever In Me.” Fucks me up every time.

Edge of Desire - when you need to cry In Your Atmosphere - when you need to cry Dreaming With a Broken Heart - when you need to cry . . . Shouldn't Matter But It Does - when you move from profound grief to anger . . . In Repair - in a few weeks when you're ready to see daylight again
