A great song might not heal a broken heart, but it’s a moving way to tell a story when someone or something leaves you feeling shattered. Here’s a look at the clever techniques musicians use to share stories of heartache. Get ready for sad, weary sounds from Ella Fitzgerald, Katy Perry and Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Stuff to think about after you’ve listened:

  • Are there particular sounds, artists, or songs that you connect with feeling heartbreak?

  • Which of the songs in the episode stood out to you with a connection to your experience with heartbreak?
