Sad Music
Trollstormur:
A lot of the Burzum songs give me deep feelings of despair, anger and sadness.
probably not healthy.
Inlander:
"I Don't Believe in the Sun" and especially "All My Little Words" by the Magnetic Fields ("You are a splendid butterfly/It is your wings that make you beautiful/And I could make you fly away/But I could never make you stay").
For sad with a tough of wry there's always George & Ira Gershwin - for instance: "But Not For Me" ("They're writing songs of love/But not for me".
The big mama of 'em all, though, would have to be "Heart Like a Wheel" by Kate & Anna McGarrigle:
Some say the heart is just like a wheel:
When you bend it, you can't mend it;
But my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean.
When harm is done no love can be won,
I know it happens frequently.
What I can't undertand - oh please god, hold my hand -
Is why it should have happened to me.
And it's only love, and it's only love
That can break a human being and turn him inside out,
That can break a human being and turn him inside out.
Some say the heart is just like a wheel:
When you bend it, you can't mend it;
But my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean.
Of course, that's just the songs about love. I'll post again in the future for more wide-ranging misery.
McTaggart:
I had a Bright Eyes/ Tom Waits/ Nick Cave/ A.C. Newman etc... mixtape around here somewhere not long ago.
destructotroninator:
I'll second some Thursday, but not definitely not most of it. War All The Time gets me.
Couple Snow Patrol songs, but for the most part I think of them as a summer type band (which is funny, the band being named Snow Patrol and all).
Coldplay, Radiohead, Elliott Smith, and Sigur Ros. Then some specific songs, like Love Rhymes With Hideous Car Wreck by The Blood Brothers, Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime by Beck, etc. And then just a couple songs for personal significance.
Marauder:

Now that's emotion, bitches.

Couldn't agree more.
