Yuki no Hana
My Heart It Belongs to She
On My Watch Tonight
Better as a Memory

It probably has more to do with what I was dealing with when I first heard that song than the music itself. I think a lot of the emotion we tie to music comes from what it reminds us of, rather than the actual song. Kind of like how certain smells trigger memories, and it's different for each person.

I was never a big REM fan, but my collection will never be without a copy of "Automatic for the People." It's close to perfect, and for as sad as a lot of it is, it reminds me of what was best about that time in my life.

Chocolate Genius, "My Mom". Blindsided me the first time I heard it, and it still gets me everytime...
And a favorite by Chris Connelly that always struck me as melancholy-ish:

That album is in my all-time top ten. It is an album about dark subject matter, but that is why it's so warm, healing and comforting.
BeoPuppy:
May I be so bold as to perhaps suggest some old Marillion as melancholy music? I love those first four albums, where fish is basically singing about his own life and all the alcohol and fame and sex and the wives that leave him ... it's really a spectacular train wreck. Clutching at Straws is perfect.
