Mr. Cave has qwuite the knack for writing sad, dark ballad, that's for sure! There is particular track from his ...And No More Shall We Part... album, called Love Letter, I think and it breaks me in two every time I hear it.

That's probably my favourite album of his. 15 Feet Of Pure White Snow is asweome. That whole album is phenominally depressing

Green Days Misery is quite a sad song.

I went through this thread.... and went through some of my sad Playlists.

I have a hard time understanding what is Indie and what isnt considering it has a couple meanings.

Heres a few...

The eels- Its a Mother****er


RadioHead- Pyramid Song (didnt feel like I needed to post a link)

Chad Vangaalen - Willow Tree


Akron Family - Dont be Afraid Your Already Dead

Anything by antony and the johnsons, at all, whatsoever. That shtuff is so depressing I can't ever listen to it. -____-
"Samson" by Regina Spektor is so beautiful and sad that my heart aches any and every time I hear it.

These songs truly can play on emotions.

Múm - We Have A Map Of The Piano
!!!- Infinifold

Insulated- Mansions
This song is a complete downer and can only be enjoyed if the listener is miserable.

No Children- The Mountain Goats
Depressing, and darkly hilarious, perfect for a bad mood!

Not from a band that you'd think of for a sad song, but Queen's "One Year of Love" is a good one.

Charlemagne, aren't the Mountain Goats cool like that? They have these heartbreakingly sad songs with these great littlwe bits of dark humour rolled into them... I love that!

All of Side Two of Lou Reed's Berlin - Caroline Says II/The Kids/the Bed/Sad Song

Big Louise - Scott Walker

Decades - Joy Division

I Can Never Go Home Anymore - The Shangi-Las

Hurt - The Johnny Cash version

Dark White - The Music Machine

No Distance Left to Run - Blur (Esp. while playing 13 all the way to the end including Optigan 1)

I'll think of more...
