Can someone recommend songs about going to life alone and feeling good about it? There’s too much depressing stuff about loneliness around. All I have on my playlist for now is:

Whitesnake - Here I go again

Morrissey - I’m OK by myself

Jimi Hendrix - Stone Free

The Beaches - Me & me

    Wasn’t there a recent pop hit by Miley Cyrus that followed that theme? Something about giving herself flowers.

    Oof, this is a tough one. Maybe…

    Billy Idol - Dancing With Myself

    Belle & Sebastian - I Don’t Love Anyone

    And in a more “society won’t hold me back” kind vein: Black Flag - Rise Above

    Does

    Dream Evil - The book of heavy metal

    Count? 😂

    Don’t need no flashy house, no kids, car or ugly wife

    The only thing I want, is what my parents don’t

    Need no widescreen TV, no in all honesty

    The only thing I want to be (to be or not to be)

    In the book of heavy metal, in life, metal!

    “D-A-D” (Disneyland After Dark} made a couple that might fit.

    “Bad Craziness” is probably the closest.

    “Sleeping My Day Away” could also work.

    “Home Alone 4” is perhaps a little bit melancholic but not a sob fest.

    Honorable mention is; “I Won’t Cut My Hair” it doesn’t fit the prompt, but it’s good for rocking out alone at home.
