Let’s face it. Valentine’s Day isn’t everyone’s favorite holiday. It could be the cheesiness of it all. And the expectation. Or the fact that you are loveless and it’s all just a bit too much.

In honor of those nursing other tender hearts rather than tender nether-regions, the kind folks at Flavorpill have put together a playlist for the forlorn. Instead of a selection of heartfelt love songs, they’re offering up a recipe for emotional catharsis, handily classified by feeling. And in alphabetical order. If you are feeling (or want to feel more) lonely, nihilistic, numb or insecure, there is a song here for you. Featuring the likes of The Smiths, The Dandy Warhols, Galaxie 500 and Spoon, you can’t go wrong.

Playlist here.
