I can't believe Morrissey (the chat) hasn't shown up in this thread yet

C'mon Moz, can't ya feel the soil falling over your head??

Oh, I just listened to the sparklehorse version of 'wish you were here' and it made a little tear fall into my coffee.. : (

Anything by Victory at Sea, to which I'm listening right now. Pretty music, though.

You Can Have Him (I Don't Want Him) - Nina Simone

Anything off Happiness Ltd. by Hot Hot Heat. But it'll make you sad for all the wrong reasons.

Has anyone mentioned Bright Eyes or the Twilight Sad?

the Twilight Sad?

excellent shout, 'verb.

grins

hell, why not go with some Damien Rice. O always puts me lower than the usual happiness standards. In a good way though.

oh, equally good shout - he's the only one of those warbly, cry-y singer dudes who i don't feel is an overwrought tosser. him and ed harcourt.

Agreed mcbrain. Damo has my heart well and truly in his fist.

Tim Buckley / Elliot Smith / Nick Drake'll do it.

Eels is the ultimate sad music for me

or listen to happy music but remember that your happiness is fleeting and eventually you'll be dust, just like everything you've ever loved. this makes any music sad music!

Wow, Antony and CocoRosie, 'Beautiful Boys' makes me want to drown.

kinda obscure, but i was flipping through folders of really old cd's and came across some soundtracks....

''Gayane Ballet Suite'' by Gennadi Rezhdestvensky on the 2001: A Space Odyssey soundtrack is possibly one of the loneliest songs i have ever heard... listening to it I can easily imagine being lost alone in space.

The whole soundtrack is cold and feels like it's sucking the warmth from you

is there a way out by the get up kids

or susannah and the magical orchestras version of love will tear us apart
that version brought a whole new meaning to the title of that song to me
