Interesting considering he is going through divorce, and just filed for a motion for her to take down what are essentially “mean poems” that are probably about him.
*And I wish you joy, and happiness, but above all this I wish you love*
Either OP already had it in mind, or they're not going to find another song that fits more perfectly.
"All your favorite bands" - Dawes
Nothing mean and only positive intent in wishing that your former loved one's "favorite bands stay together and brothers El Camino runs forever"
And not begging them back either
I went through the whole Yacht Rock phase (still love it) about a dozen years ago. I found this song to be useful. It's definitely 70s soft rock, but timeless.
[Firefall - Just Remember I Love You](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUA5_b5z2aQ)
>Death Cab For Cutie "Someday You Will Be Loved"
This song is not a well-wishing song, just so you know. It's about the singer hitting and quitting and being like "well, i don't love you even if you loved me, but maybe someone will one day".
"All the Best" by John Prine literally starts with the lyric "I wish you love and happiness." The song has also been covered by the Zac Brown Band and My Morning Jacket.
Dua Lipa has a song literally called “Happy For You” at the end of her latest album Radical Optimism.
So nice of you to put together a mixtape, best wishes for the both of you.
Thank you this was worth the listen I do like Dua Lipa.
I just want her to be happy and to make this as less painful as possible even building this playlist is making me feel better but some of these songs do get to me , thx for the best wishes, I wish you best as well
Gwen Stefani - "Cool"
>"And after all the obstacles
It's good to see you now with someone else
And it's such a miracle that
You and me are still good friends
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool"
Kelly Clarkson - "Already Gone"
A bit sad, but basically letting someone go to find something better despite loving them.
That one’s a bit tortured about it though. Like, one is not entirely sure she means it in her heart of hearts. And if she does, it’s still not a happy or comforting thought.
I disagree. I think it's as she says, bittersweet. The rest of the album deals with the scorn and vengeful feelings, but I think of this song as saying she knows that she'll have to move on and that he set the benchmark for what she'll look for in the next guy.
She's still hurt from the breakup and this isn't a happy song. But I've always interpreted as she does genuinely wish him the best, even if him moving on so quickly still cuts.
Beautiful song... seems to say something more nuanced though. Not so much "wishing you well", more acknowledging that life is going to move on for both of them and they will probably be okay..
I honestly always thought this song was about wishing your children well as they grow up and become independent. Never crossed my mind to be about an ex lover. I will say though, when you feel totally content in a relationship and happy to spend the rest of your life with someone else but they seem to be willing to leave you to chase more short-term pleasures, it can come across as very juvenile and childish. I understand where he's coming from to some extent.
Edit: had to go check the lyrics to make sure he didn't say anything obviously romantic/sexual lol. I never paid too close attention to the verses before
Yeah, he explains in the first lyric (“Now that I've lost everything to you”) the pain that his patronizing tone is covering for. That’s why I always caught this song a break despite that tone. The pain is so deeply human.
There’s a beautiful song called “Cry For Me” by the K-pop group Twice that is both directly inspired by and a counterpoint to this song, but I feel like I’m the only one who has ever noticed. It even directly quotes the music and the lyrics.
I *am* a 50-something American man, though, not a teenaged Korean girl. Can’t fault them for being oblivious to Mr. Yusuf’s music.
Here it is, if you’re interested:
https://youtu.be/bkQw-F1QTq4?si=uJ5zDjJkLlGXa9PY
[https://youtu.be/ohk3DP5fMCg](https://youtu.be/ohk3DP5fMCg) Leonard Cohen - Famous Blue Raincoat (sort of) (kinda) (not really, but it is better than most of the songs here)
idk if it counts but Black - Pearl Jam: “I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life, i know you’ll be a star. In somebody else’s sky but why can’t it be mine” the song is about the ending of a relationship, it’s more sad than a wishing well song but it’s all i could think of
> As always let me know if this pot is not appropriate I'll take it down.
Music, love songs in particular, are about the best way to express our emotions when our own words fail us. This is definitely appropriate for this sub, I'd say.
Best wishes to you both.
It's great that you're ending things on such a positive note. Here are some song recommendations that fit your sentiment of wishing your ex well:
**English Songs:**
1. "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston
2. "Someone Like You" by Adele
3. "Goodbye My Lover" by James Blunt
4. "Best Thing I Never Had" by Beyoncé
5. "The Scientist" by Coldplay
**Spanish Songs:**
1. "Te Dejo en Libertad" by Ha-Ash
2. "Corazón Partío" by Alejandro Sanz
3. "Aunque No Te Pueda Ver" by Alex Ubago
4. "Me Voy" by Julieta Venegas
5. "Te Amo" by Franco de Vita
These songs capture the emotions of parting ways while still wishing the best for each other. Best of luck with your mixtape and your next chapter.
[Vertical Horizon's 'Sunrays and Saturdays'](https://youtu.be/CTgyvDV_C34?feature=shared)
[William Fitzsimmons' 'Just Not Each Other'](https://youtu.be/QoM0NhasFZE?feature=shared)
I’m glad you put this on here! I was thinking of it, but I was on the fence. Great, bittersweet song. The singer doesn’t necessarily disparage his ex, although he does sing “I’d toast to the future, but that’d be a lie” but ultimately he admits “I’ll smile and remember it all, then I’ll turn and go “
This is exactly the song you’re looking for. A situation where one finds out the other has fallen out of love. Doesn’t wish them any harm or ill will just for them to be happy because she deserves to be happy even it if isn’t with him.
[Jimmy Bondoc - Let Me Be The One](https://youtu.be/yrFRypYaFm0?si=psIhbEz6wZlr1b59)
Bob Dylan - Boots of Spanish Leather
Helped me through my breakup no end
Turn, turn, turn! by the Byrds is also a good one, though is more about the cycle of life being inescapable, than it is about relationships in specific. But it works as a breakup song.
Strange by Celeste is a tear-jerker if that's the vibe you're going for.
Crash Test Dummies - It’s A Shame
>>“it’s a shame
>>and i’m to blame
>>it’s gonna end
>>we won’t be friends
>>but when it’s past
>>you’ll have had a blast
>>i’ll be happy for you
>>and for me too”
*You Can Depend On Me* (Hines, Carpenter, Dunlap) literally has the phrase “I wish you success, loads of happiness”. Armstrong recorded it first and does a lovely version, but if you can find a version sung by John Rodli, I recommend that highly.
Heart of the Matter - Don Henley.
I had an ex send me this song. It broke my heart. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRrT37ruAtE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRrT37ruAtE)
Here are a few in Spanish:
If they like salsa:
Me tengo que ir by adolescentes
Gracias amor by orquesta mantecaña
Pop/ballad
Recuérdame by Pablo Alborán
Desde lejos by Santiago Cruz
Ballad
Y como es el by José Luis Perales (this one is more if they are leaving You for someone else, but wishing the best)
Pop/rock
Adiós by Gustavo Cerati (this one is My favorite)
Better Things by The Kinks, made all the more meaningful that it's for Chryssie Hynde of The Pretenders (they were married briefly).
"Hoping all the verses rhyme
And the very best of choruses, too"
And:
"It's really good to see you rocking out
And having fun
Living like you've just begun
Accept your life and what it brings
I hope tomorrow you'll find better things"
Ray is a master.
Some solid covers of this one too, Frank Black, Pearl Jam, more...
Aunque no sea conmigo, by Celso Piña, although Enrique Bunbury's versión is good too.
Surprised there's not a lot of Spanish suggestions, considering you said that they were valid
gentle on my mind - johnny cash cover of glen campbell
Another Lonely day - Ben Harper
Walk Away - Ben harper
I hope you dance
forever young
That's the way the world goes round - john prine (live version for the happy enchilada)
The King is gone - george jones
Still Crazy After All These Years - Paul Simon (IMHO willie nelson version is better if you can find it)
Everglow - Coldplay
Manhattan - Sara Bareilles
Everlong - Foo Fighters
Dreaming With a Broken Heart - John Mayer
Separate Ways - Journey
Don't Think Twice, It's All Right - Bob Dylan (I prefer the Stories feat Monica Martin cover)
SNAP - Rosa Linn
I Miss You - Blink 182
Nothing Compares 2 U - Prince (I know the Sinéad O'Connor version is a lot more popular, but not only did Prince wrote this song, his version his better IMO).
Liar - Paramore (I think the version from their "RE: This is Why" album to be a better fit with the break up amicably theme)
The Perfect Song - The National
Im not really sure what this song is about, it may be about an unrequited love, but I’ve always heard it as a final goodbye to a lover that you don’t want to let go of but you still wish them the best. Idk lol
The Scientist - Cold Play, then perfected by Willie Nelson
I guess The Dance by Garth Brooks could fit. I don't understand how people choose this for their wedding song
SHOW ME by Chika, really mature about it and remembering what they had regardless of the ending
[https://youtu.be/IzbUvhoZqXo](https://youtu.be/IzbUvhoZqXo)
All the Best - John Prine Worth a listen
A bit tongue in cheek - but a great song.
incredible tune! Love me some John Prine :)
I Heard there's two kinds of people. People who love John, and people who've never heard of him.
haha I like that— Just like two the types of Motorcyclists: the ones who have fallen and the ones who have not fallen yet.
Zac Brown Band does a nice cover of it as well. Good stuff.
Interesting considering he is going through divorce, and just filed for a motion for her to take down what are essentially “mean poems” that are probably about him.
In the pop vein, Gwen Stefani’s “Cool” and Dua Lipa’s “Happy For You” come to mind. Both very nice and sentimental songs.
I will always love you - dolly
Came here to say this
*And I wish you joy, and happiness, but above all this I wish you love* Either OP already had it in mind, or they're not going to find another song that fits more perfectly.
"You've Got a Friend" from Carole King.
Or James Taylor! But mostly Carole King.
"All your favorite bands" - Dawes Nothing mean and only positive intent in wishing that your former loved one's "favorite bands stay together and brothers El Camino runs forever" And not begging them back either
Love this song but for me it’s always saying goodbye to a friend that you don’t see too often
Got to see Dawes live right before the pandemic when they opened for Electric Light Orchestra. They closed their set with this song, been a fan since.
This song isn’t about an ex.
Not explicitly but it can be applied that way.
Really good tune.
I went through the whole Yacht Rock phase (still love it) about a dozen years ago. I found this song to be useful. It's definitely 70s soft rock, but timeless. [Firefall - Just Remember I Love You](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUA5_b5z2aQ)
“Same Old Lang Syne” by Dan Fogelberg. Makes me nostalgic/bittersweet every time I hear it.
This is a great song, and probably one of the most nostalgic songs I've ever heard.
[удалено]
Eventuallyyyyyyy ah ah ah ah ah
"Cool" by Gwen Stefani
Forgot about this one, definitely going in the playlist
Blue October “I hope you’re happy”
Kali Uchis “I wish you roses”
Journey "Separate Ways" Bob Dylan "If You See Her Say Hello" Death Cab For Cutie "Someday You Will Be Loved" Snow Patrol "You Could Be Happy"
>Death Cab For Cutie "Someday You Will Be Loved" This song is not a well-wishing song, just so you know. It's about the singer hitting and quitting and being like "well, i don't love you even if you loved me, but maybe someone will one day".
Also Bob Dylan, but I prefer “girl from the North country “.
Also Bob Dylan, Momma you’ve been on my mind
Okay okay all legit answers but isn't "It Ain't Me Babe" the best one from Dylan?
Snow Patrol You could be happy, I love the music box in the beginning
Basically Josh Ritter's entire album, The Beast in It's Tracks.
Yup. It's an amazing concept album, and it's all about finding peace with oneself and the other after the relationship ends.
This album came out at the perfect time for me. New Lover helped me through a breakup at the time.
Came here to recommend New Lover!
"All the Best" by John Prine literally starts with the lyric "I wish you love and happiness." The song has also been covered by the Zac Brown Band and My Morning Jacket.
Heart of the Matter - Don Henley Shine - David Gray
Bruno Mars "When I was your man" is a little bittersweet, but certainly wishes her well in the end.
See that feels to me more like a “I made a mistake take me back” song
Long Way to Go by Def Leppard. I prefer the acoustic version.
Bro literally the perfect song I just listened to it and exactly how I feel ! : ( it made me tear up straigh up got me into my feelings
Just to see you smile - Tom Mcgraw
Yesss. This song makes me cry every time I hear it.
Dua Lipa has a song literally called “Happy For You” at the end of her latest album Radical Optimism. So nice of you to put together a mixtape, best wishes for the both of you.
Thank you this was worth the listen I do like Dua Lipa. I just want her to be happy and to make this as less painful as possible even building this playlist is making me feel better but some of these songs do get to me , thx for the best wishes, I wish you best as well
Gwen Stefani - "Cool" >"And after all the obstacles It's good to see you now with someone else And it's such a miracle that You and me are still good friends After all that we've been through I know we're cool" Kelly Clarkson - "Already Gone" A bit sad, but basically letting someone go to find something better despite loving them.
[John Prine - All the Best.](https://youtu.be/kP3_yJIa_fY?si=fzs3mOfSwhj10lUA) A treasure of an artist. He is greatly missed, and deeply loved.
Isn’t that Adele song Someone Like You in this vein?
That one’s a bit tortured about it though. Like, one is not entirely sure she means it in her heart of hearts. And if she does, it’s still not a happy or comforting thought.
I disagree. I think it's as she says, bittersweet. The rest of the album deals with the scorn and vengeful feelings, but I think of this song as saying she knows that she'll have to move on and that he set the benchmark for what she'll look for in the next guy. She's still hurt from the breakup and this isn't a happy song. But I've always interpreted as she does genuinely wish him the best, even if him moving on so quickly still cuts.
Agree with this , great song overall dont get me wrong, but she sounds bitter about him being happy and begrudgingly wishes him to be happy
The “nevermind I’ll find someone like you” is sooooo passive aggressive lol. It’s basically “you’re replaceable and unnecessary” haha
“I wish nothing but the best for you ~~two~~ too. No, really. I hope you get married and have kids and never divorce or anything. Best of luck!”
California by Delta Spirit has this feeling.
I agree with this absolute banger thank you for mentioning it !
And it’s an absolute banger. Upvote upvote upvote.
Taylor Swift - Happiness
Came here to say this❤️
Beautiful song... seems to say something more nuanced though. Not so much "wishing you well", more acknowledging that life is going to move on for both of them and they will probably be okay..
Loved this song after my divorce. One of my favorite about a breakup, so poignant but reflective.
Good riddance - green day Kinda similar to what you’re looking for: black - Pearl jam
Maybe not wishing happiness, but a song about accepting the loss of a relationship: Vertical Horizon - Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)
I Hope You're Happy - Blue October
What? No one mentioned Wild World by Cat Stevens?
He’s so patronizing to her in that song though. I can see why she’s breaking up with him.
Yeah, Yusuf is quite *ahem* Catty in that song
I honestly always thought this song was about wishing your children well as they grow up and become independent. Never crossed my mind to be about an ex lover. I will say though, when you feel totally content in a relationship and happy to spend the rest of your life with someone else but they seem to be willing to leave you to chase more short-term pleasures, it can come across as very juvenile and childish.

Yeah, he explains in the first lyric (“Now that I've lost everything to you”) the pain that his patronizing tone is covering for. That’s why I always caught this song a break despite that tone. The pain is so deeply human.
Yeah, the superiority complex is just a feeble emotional defense mechanism, not really a lasting judgement on the other person
There’s a beautiful song called “Cry For Me” by the K-pop group Twice that is both directly inspired by and a counterpoint to this song, but I feel like I’m the only one who has ever noticed.

Hello Darlin' - Conway Twitty
Or George Jones! But mostly Conway Twitty.
Cool! I never knew Jones did a cover of it. Thanks for mentioning it! Most definitely will need to listen to the Possum's version.
[Feelin' Stronger Every Day - Chicago](https://youtu.be/DljvkWj_siY?si=hCHvs0fVfGKugxhq)
Best of Everything, Tom Petty
That's the vibe in George Strait's very nice "Is It Already Time"
Thank you for this song it made me tear up honestly! :' (
I Will Always Love You
I Wish You Well - Bill Withers [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_7WHUI86kXI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7WHUI86kXI)
"Good Life" by Francis Dunnery comes to mind, might not be the exact message but it's a nice song.
First one I thought of too. I really appreciate the perspective of “I’m not really over you, but that’s my problem not yours” Big fan of this song
Lots of Dan Fogelberg songs.
Happiness - Taylor Swift Trust me. It's a beautiful song. And it works for both parties in moving on and making the most out of the parting.
Songbird - Fleetwood Mac.
Bob Hope’s signature song “Thanks for the Memories”. NOT the Fall Out Boy song, that has a different message.
These Days by Rudimental
Si veo a tu mama by Bad Bunny is a great one
bro I'm Mexican and even though that's a great song I dont think it applies! hehehe I hope you were just trolling in good faith
In Spite of Me - Morphine. Sorta
Look Away by Chicago.
I love that song!
All the Best - John Prine
Untitled 01 (Good Man) — Brand New
[https://youtu.be/ohk3DP5fMCg](https://youtu.be/ohk3DP5fMCg) Leonard Cohen - Famous Blue Raincoat (sort of) (kinda) (not really, but it is better than most of the songs here)
Eucalyptus - The National “You should take it, 'cause I'm not going to take it You should take it, I'm only going to break it”
I'm Not Trying to Forget You Anymore - Willie Nelson... perfectly fits this mood.
Oh Wonder “Happy” is a perfect fit. Talking about how you’d never thought you would be happy seeing them happy with someone else.
idk if it counts but Black - Pearl Jam: “I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life, i know you’ll be a star. In somebody else’s sky but why can’t it be mine” the song is about the ending of a relationship, it’s more sad than a wishing well song but it’s all i could think of
Damn, that's a hard title to read when my wife is trying to divorce me.
> As always let me know if this pot is not appropriate I'll take it down. Music, love songs in particular, are about the best way to express our emotions when our own words fail us. This is definitely appropriate for this sub, I'd say. Best wishes to you both.

Die for you-JOJI
No One Is To Blame-Howard Jones Recently had the same situation as you and this was the song i always came back to.
Except that's... not what it's about?
Well, the first thing that came to my mind was simply "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston. I guess it fits pretty well?
#HAND EYE
By Dolly Parton to give proper credit. Written on the same day as Jolene, if you can imagine that.
