The Boxer Rebellion are an amazing American/British band who have been creating music for quite some time. You may have heard some of their music in the film 'Going The Distance (2010), but they have plenty more to offer, especially when it comes to beautifully heartbreaking numbers like this one. The guitar right at the start of this song really draws you in and the rest falls easily into place. This song is a work of art. — youtube.com / Via Youtube

My God this song s absolutely amazing. Some of you may know RY X by his earlier performance name Ry Cummings, however a change of name created a brilliant new sound for Cummings. 'Sweat' is simply songwriting brilliance. The songs simplicity and heartbreaking vocals make for a wonderful listen. — youtube.com / Via youtube

Bon Iver has made big waves in the music industry in the past few years. His calming vocals and simplistic style made it hard to choose which song to put on this list. It came came down to this and 'Blood Bank' (which I highly recommend you check out), however his Bonnie Raitt cover is truly beautiful. His voice paired with the piano are a recipe for heartbreak. — youtube.com / Via Youtube

To wrap this list up, I've picked this wonderful number from the amazing musician Nathaniel Rateliff. You may know him from his recent musical endeavor Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, but before this he was a solo musician with some pretty damn good tracks. This song is utter heartbreak perfection, especially when his voice breaks whilst singing the words 'I don't know'. — youtube.com / Via Youtube
