About Kecia
Unbreak My Heart is my jam.
Thanks for this list!
I like how you broke down the songs into categories and that you pulled songs from different genres. I tried to do a mixed bag, but you can clearly see what my preference is.
Unbreak my heart was on repeat during HS after breakups! A lot if good songs on this list and several I’ve never heard before.
This is a great list! Unchained Melody is one of my all time favorites.
