[ REQUEST ] Playlists / Songs / Artists / Albums Need melancholic/yearning songs

Exactly what the title says. Also, I want to ask if y'all organise your playlists with melancholic songs in what manner?

I have a playlist with Hindi and English songs dedicated to. . . .someone, but I'm unsure about organising them. A random manner sounds unappealing. I thought about organising them based on the 5 stages of grief, but that's too meticulous. It's also hard to determine each song I randomly remember and decide to add falls into which category.

Drowning in the water

"I've been sharing love in all this time

And I feel I feel perfectly fine

You said you love me and that's alright

But you can't, you can't look in my eyes"

i have done exactly this! i have a folder full of playlists with songs about different stages of heartbreak and yearning, platonic and romantic both. just tell me exactly what kind of song(s) you're looking for, i can guarantee you i have something that describes your exact situation(s). I'm also desi lol so my playlists are also english and hindi mixed.

i organized based on the cronological order of events (of a relationship, for exemple).
