Songs to get you by

Music is something that helps me get by whenever I’m away from my significant other (which is like 99.9% of the time). I know that music is very powerful, for instance, when you are sad you might listen to sad songs, or maybe you listen to upbeat songs when you work out to help pump you up. Music is a very good way to let some emotions out and help deal with what you’re going through at a certain time in your life.

I can say that when a song has lyrics that I can relate to, I feel like someone gets me, like I’m not going through what I’m going through completely alone. I like having songs that I can feel a connection to especially when I’m an emotional wreck.

My boyfriend and I made a playlist of songs that remind us of each other, and we have about 50 songs on it so it doesn’t get TOO repetitive. I recommend you and your significant other make a playlist that you can both listen to when you are away from each other (it’s even nice to listen to it when you do get to spend time together).

Okaaay. So here it is, I complied some songs that are about either being away from a loved one, military love, or missing someone. I hope you like them, and if you have any songs that you like that help get you by, please sound off in the comments!
