While we're here, you guys got any depressing songs suggestions?

Edit: Thank you for the suggestions. Listening to them all.

"As the Footsteps Die Out Forever" by Catch 22. Genre is ska punk. It's about the loss of a family member.

Ben Howard - Esmerelda, anything from Portishead, Red House Painters, Sofa Surfers

Listened to Glory Box by Portishead. Seems way ahead of it's time for 94. Thanks for the suggestion

This is art/prog/jazz rock molded to perfection:

Check out this song by them but feel free to listen to their entire albums. Start with Land Animal, Say So, or You Know What They Mean if you like the above song.

Iron & Wine - “The Trapeze Swinger”

IYKYK

I'm not lighting a fuse with this, am I? O_O;

Anyway, Routine by Steven Wilson and Losing It by Rush are two big candidates. Remove all sharp objects from the immediate vicinity before you listen to them.

Actually, forget that. Songs about naval disasters (The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot, At the Harbor by Renaissance, The Wreck of the Hesperus by Procol Harum) are somber in tone but won't make you feel despondent afterward. They're like rye bread... a little rough and dark, but hearty and filling and ultimately cleansing in the end.

I'm going to need to google this to figure out which part if the song name and which part is the band.

The entirety of Let It Come Down by Spiritualized. It's an album all about the apathy, misery, bliss and beauty that accompanies heroin addiction. It's painfully beautiful music.
