Speaking of David Gray :

Nightblindness - i remember hearing this song on White Ladder when i was 14 and it sounded like the saddest thing ever.
Also his 'Lost Songs 95-98' collection features some really depressing stuff.

Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work" is rather sad without perhaps becoming too depressing. Check the wonderful video to see what I mean.

Coldplay the scientist. This song makes my chest feel funny.

Defintely elliot smith, his albums are full of sad songs, especially new moon. The acoustic guitar makes it sound even more down.

Dolorean's "Holding On" is the kind of song you listen to in a warm bath with a razor blade.

the album leaf- streamside
death cab for cutie- brothers on a hotel bed
the weepies- the world spins madly on
the microphones- i want wind to blow
ingrid michaelson- keep breathing
margot and the nuclear so and so's- light on a hill

and anything by glen hansard :]

One of the most depressing songs I've heard is "A Rose For Emily"

The opening lyrics are:

Quote:

The summer is here at last/the sky is overcast but no-one brings a rose for Emily

It gets sadder from there.
