The heart was made to be broken, so why not give it an extra push?
I was very tempted to make this playlist just a loop of Jeremy Jordan singing Don't Speak (my a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e favourite version, if not the only correct way to sing it, including passive aggressively hushing the band). But there are just so many amazing bittersweet tunes, it would be a shame to not mention at least one or two of them. I think the break-up song is one of my favourites because it embodies both fragility and strength, desperateness and hope, and it isn't afraid to get a lil' bit weird (yes, I'm still looking at you Jordan). This month's playlist plays with this tension between madness and euphoria, giving a new interpretation of what it means to love one another. Welcome to the Broken Heart Club! 💔
