Some of the best songs for when you are missing somebody are right here:

Music has the amazing ability to evoke emotions in people in such a manner that it is impossible otherwise. Those who cannot express their feelings through words, usually find it easier to relate to music and pour their heart and soul into sad songs. Music can make us cry, fuel our anger, help us cope with the loss or lift our spirits on a bad day.

Sad songs have a way of digging down into our soul and the tears that emerge release the baggage we’ve been holding on to. Sometimes, music can be the perfect companion while we’re going through a difficult phase in life.
