You’ve had a bad day. We’ve all been there. A while ago, we published an upbeat songs playlist to make you feel good after a tough nursing day. But sometimes the only way to let it all go is with a good, cathartic cry session. So this time, we made a playlist filled with sad and poignant songs that will be sure to let those tears spring free.

1. “Goodnight My Angel (Lullaby),” Billy Joel
2. “Blackbird,” The Beatles
3. “Tears in Heaven,” Eric Clapton
4. “Now at Last,” Feist
5. “Try,” Nelly Furtado
6. “I Think It’s Going to Rain Today,” Bette Midler
7. “Arms of an Angel,” Sarah Mclachlan
8. “Hallelujah,” Jeff Buckley
9. “Wish You Were Here,” Pink Floyd
10. “Never Saw Blue Like That Before,” Shawn Colvin
11. “Just Breathe,” Pearl Jam
