Love Kills – Coyle Girelli
“Easy to love / Harder to kill / Careful of the color / When you swallow that pill.” Such poetic, if pessimistic lyrics from English alternative musician Coyle Girelli. Clearly, on “Love Kills,” the opener from his 2018 debut solo album of the same name, Girelli has experienced the devastating, ‘deadly’ side of love.

August – Vincent Lima
I started this playlist with the simple idea that if you’re experiencing grief, then listening to sad music is actually a good thing – we even wrote an article about it here.

Daydream In Blue – I Monster
This is one of those electronica songs I first heard quite by chance on a late-night radio show back in 2001…and was thoroughly annoyed that the DJ failed to give me a name check of either the track or the artist! Ah!!! Now what? How to find it?…

Benediction – August Alsina
“Started off in the streets / We would take collection from the fiends / People dying all around me / So I gave you my testimony.” August Alsina often wears emotions on his sleeves musically and personally.
