When I Was Your ManBruno Mars9rank/position
A song whose piano timbre evokes loneliness.
True to its title, this track conjures the image of a lover who is no longer by your side, and lets you fully savor Bruno Mars’s overwhelming vocal prowess.

The ScientistColdplay11rank/position
It’s one of Coldplay’s signature songs, marked by their distinctive sense of loneliness.
It’s a wonderful track brimming with the poignant melancholy typical of UK rock ballads.
I’m personally fond of the melody in the vocal part, and when something’s bothering me, listening to it gives me strength—it’s like a medicine for the heart.
Stay With MeSam Smith12rank/position
A track from Sam Smith’s debut album, “In The Lonely Hour.” It’s a song about the indescribable loneliness felt when parting ways with a one-night companion.
While the theme is quite specific, the sadness of wanting to hold back a lover who’s leaving is universal.

Bitter Sweet SymphonyThe Verve13rank/position
When love isn’t going well and you’re feeling a bit down, songs that make you feel “I’m okay” are highly recommended.
Let this classic by the British band The Verve give you that push to find the motivation to try changing yourself.
It’s also great for karaoke.
AlwaysBon Jovi14rank/position
Even a handsome guy like Jon Bon Jovi sings clingy, lovesick songs like this one, which makes him feel more relatable.
As a piece of music it’s excellent too—a cool track featuring his soaring vocals.
The music video is also brimming with Jon’s charm.
