[ 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.

do you want it in the form of yearning lyrics or yearning instrumental?

Sextape - Deftones
Luna - the Smashing Pumpkins
Perfect - the Smashing Pumpkins
Looking Out For You - Joy Again
Ocean Avenue - Yellowcard
Best Of You - Foo Fighters (originally written for dave grohl's daughter iirc, but lyrics apply to an ex lover)
Nutshell - Alice In Chains (instrumental vibe)
The Reason - Hoobastank
