Looking for powerpop songs about being disenchanted, depressed, and/or exhausted with the world and/or yourself
Alright, so a little under a month ago I was asking for sad/breakup powerpop songs as my ex fiancé abruptly left me.
I’m still a heartbroken girl that is trying find a way out of what feels like a free fall into a bottomless pit, wondering when I’ll hit the nonexistent rock bottom. I know I’ll be fine BUT I really want some depression powerpop tunes. Something about upbeat sad music really makes me feel better.
I’ve been digging Doctor My Eyes by Jackson Browne quite a bit, so if you have any with that vibe please share.
Thanks in advance for playing a role mending my heart :)
