    Hello cruzansingerboi,

     

    If I understand correctly, you want to know how to remove some songs from your iPhone 5c without deleting those tracks from your iCloud Music Library. The article below provides a lot of great information about managing your iCloud Music Library and it also outlines the process for removing songs from your iOS devices.

    Delete songs and music videos from your iCloud Music Library - Apple Support

    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    1. In the Music app, find the name of the song, album, or playlist that you want to remove, and tap the More Options icon  .
    2. Tap Remove Download to remove the item for offline listening. The item will remain in your library on all of your devices.
      Tap Remove from My Music to delete the item completely, from your library on all of your devices.

     

    So long.
