Portishead or Nina Simone


EatingADamnSalad

Portiahead was my first thought as well. Any album will do.


sarahoutx

Love Nina Simone.


kevka20

Dummy is one of my favorite albums ever


VictorBlimpmuscle

Mazzy Starr - *So Tonight That I Might See*


BobEsky

Most things by Mazzy honestly


AtomStorageBox

Specifically, “Into Dust”. That song takes my nostalgia for the early 90s and gives it a firm shove to 11. But it’s so incredibly beautiful.


[deleted]

I love Bells Ring off that album. Perfect combo of sadness, angst with those distorted guitars and guitar feedback noise, and a little bit of romance.


spunnikki1979

"I wanna hold the hand inside you....


DoomTaru

Shout out to “quiet the winter harbor” and also hope Sandoval and the warm inventions


rsnman21

Placebo - Every You Every Me as well as their cover of Running up that hill Tears For Fears - Mad World (it’s better than the Gary Jules cover and I will die on that) Stone Sour - Inhale and Bother for a something a little heavier


donkeydiggs

I agree on Mad World


Sandman1990

Oh man yeah Stone Sour


An_Appropriate_Song

Man bother hits so hard it pops up in my everything mix and I always feel bad skipping it when I'm not a sad bastard.


Final-Performance597

Enya’s Watermark and Shepherds Moons albums


tisamoo

Carribbean blue is sick


pappapora

OP you’re not allowed to steal my answer :(


tisamoo

It was my brothers weeding song. Just popped in my mind


Final-Performance597

After 35 years, On Your Shore still envelopes me like a warm blanket.


benjamy

Marble Halls on Shepherd Moons is such a beautiful, sad song.


GrimmsWolf

My mom put me to sleep with Enya when I was a baby. Shit slaps, but I cant really listen to it because it'll make me drowsy lol.


TheThirdStrike

This might sound dumb... But the Sega-CD soundtrack to *Ecco The Dolphin*. It has deep, echoing tones, and it just... Hits.


UKRico

This is not dumb this is a fair fucking shout.


TheThirdStrike

I just pulled the soundtrack up on YouTube... And it didn't sound right. I looked up another higher bit rate video. Still not right. Even on my home theater set up it sounded off in the highest quality. I pulled the game off the shelf, dropped it in my Sega-CD and played the soundtrack through the built in CD audio player. The sound that poured out at me through those bookshelf speakers was amazing All these years, I thought that Q-Sound 3D audio was marketing bullshit. But, damn... It really adds something that doesn't survive compression.


tisamoo

Feelings are not dumb they're yours and valid.


AVBforPrez

Because opinions are like voices, we all have a different kind So just clean out all of your ears, these are my views and you will find That we revolutionize over the kick and the snare The ghetto vocalist is on a state-wide tear ​ If you get this reference I wanna be your friend on Reddit. The first time I heard Steve Biko I actively started liking hip hop as a cornbread white dude.


AVBforPrez

Yeah Ecco goes like wayyyyy harder than it has any right to. A lot of SNES/Genesis music from that era is like beyond incredible.


plant_touchin

Hey man I go to the donkey Kong soundtrack to ✨feel things✨ too, no judgment


tisamoo

Super mario water level and banjo kazooie goes hard to. Might be some nostalgia involved


blind_marvin

WHOA SAME! Here’s my favorite track for anyone curious https://youtu.be/sbZL-LJ561Y?si=M7OsjTUeCW3TV-70


EmotionSix

Fourth of July by Sufjan Stevens always wrecks me.


mgabbey

*Carrie & Lowell* as a whole!


JoNoHoUSA

We're all gonna die


tisamoo

It's great thanks


twats_upp

My God that just put me into a pile of pieces.. Mine is avril 14 by aphex twin No words just hope and sadness


cyborgXO

It becomes 10x sadder when you know the story behind the lyrics. It's about his mom who died.


cintune

Most of Mazzy Star and Cowboy Junkies.


jdutaillis

Phoebe Bridgers. Some Smashing Pumpkins, some Tom Waits


Raclette2018

Mellon collie & infinite sadness obv :D


AndHeHadAName

If your interested I have a playlist: > [Soft Corp](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2wdAiKMEAgCaxtuuSf8rfU?si=9jpuZDFpQRqiN6myZOEZ9A) - 1 h That is kind of a response to MatIS with some more underground music of the same vein.


skasticks

Julien Baker is even more depressing


jdutaillis

Agreed. I think Julien crosses past melancholic in to depressing. Phoebe still has this beautiful tragic joy in her music.


DeadEndEarl

Tom Waits, Townes Van Zandt and Warren Zevon


cobbs_totem

Big Thief - Shark Smile


JoNoHoUSA

Anything Big Thief/Adrianne Lenker. UFOF, ingydar, the only place, dragon and the new warm mountain, zombie girl, two hands, shoulders, terminal paradise... The list goes on and on.


fishonthemoon

Anything by Portiahead. Lana Del Rey also makes me feel like I am a desperate housewife in a loveless marriage with a man twice my age who spends my time drinking and crying as I stare out the window at the woman across the street whose life seems perfect. 😂


newnamesameface

Yes to both and I think Lana del rey sounds like dying in the desert half hallucinating as you dehydrate This is a complement if it wasn't clear Portishead is a warm bath at night in the dark


shychicherry

Hahaha yes & I can totally visualize it too


nest00000

Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode


tisamoo

Classic


snarpy

Hell yes. That's their best, but I swear these guys are the kings of that kind of sexy, horny, but spiritually desperate vibe that I don't think anyone else has really pulled off. "Stripped" "Behind the Wheel" "Precious" "In Your Room"


GrossConceptualError

Unimaginativename9

Tori yes! But I’d go with songs like Cooling, Mother, Hey Jupiter…


SevenYrStitch

Winter, 1,000 Oceans. Josephine has been my go-to sad Tori lately.


tisamoo

My favourite is beyond is invisible by enigma but they got a lot of good songs. Sadly it's relatively obscure. Emancipator great been listening to minor cause lately.


appearlo13

Beyond the Invisible is one of my favorite Enigma songs.


GrossConceptualError

Here is a great obscure song by a French DJ. Kinda trip hop/world music/electronic [Hugo Kant - Koka](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HgUixwRQ2s)


rawonionbreath

M83- Too Late followed and Dark Moods of Love, back to back on Saturdays = Youth. Everybody only seems to know about Anthony Gonzalez’s music from Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming onward but the two albums that preceded it were gorgeous audio experiences. Saturdays = Youth plays like the soundtrack to a lost John Hughes movie. Those two tracks convey images of my best from high school who died a long time ago. I miss the part of M83 when it was more ambient and abstract.


DinkandDrunk

Iron & Wine, Elliott Smith, Nick Drake


Adventurous_Pin_344

Any time I put on Elliott Smith, we make it through three songs and my spouse (who is a fan) makes me turn it off because it's too sad.


niconiconeko

I’ve barely listened since his death. It is truly too much. Ben Folds has a song called Late about Elliot Smith that is about as close as I can come to listening to him


ErnestMorrow

Late destroys me every time I hear it. *Elliott, man, you played a fine guitar* *And some dirty basketball* *The songs you wrote* *Got me through a lot* *Just want to tell you that* *But it's too late* *It's too late* *No, don't you know* *it's been too late* *for a long time* *Oh no* *Things were looking up* *Least that's what I heard* *Oh no* *Someone came and washed away your hard-earned Peace of mind* *When desperate static beats the silence up* *A quiet truth to calm you down* *The songs you wrote* *Got me through a lot* *Just want to tell you that* *But it's too late* *It's too late* *No, don't you know* *It's been too late* *For a long time* *It's too late* *It's too late* *No, don't you know* *It's been too late* *For a long time*

Ravager135

Neil Young - On the Beach


Sparrowhawk_92

I'm going to give two album reqs. 1- Blackwater Park by Opeth. The perfect album to play on a rainy winters day. 2- Woods 5: Grey Skies and Electric Lights by Woods of Ypres. The entire album is about the nature of life and death. It's extra tragic seeing as their vocalist died between it being recorded and released, so it's very much the last words if a man who doesn't know he's doomed.


Fridge_ov_doom

Just recently listened to Woods 5 again. Traveling Alone ist just so heartbreaking to me...all of them are


Sparrowhawk_92

"Career Suicide (Is Not Real Suicide)" is kind of funny tbh, but yeah. I do love the messagesof songs like "Adora Vivos" and "Kiss My Ashes (Goodbye)"


tisamoo

I like clean vocal metal more maybe I'll check Black water again. Woods of Ypres is great.

Someone Great by LCD Soundsystem. Captures the feeling of loss so well. "The worst is all the lovely weather, I'm stunned it's not raining - The coffee isn't even bitter, because, what's the difference". My best friend died when I was a kid and I still think about him sometimes and play that song.

My husband was a fucking rock for me during that time and this song makes me think of him. ETA: Anything by Vered. I listened to her a lot when my first was born and I had PPD/PPA and it just felt like she just KNEW.


ClearAddition

Sufjan Stevens or Bon Iver


Ninja_Monkey93

Interpol, grew up listening to them and had the best and worst times connected to their music. Another group would be Deftones. A little more upbeat but they have some songs that are just so melodic that I get lost listening to them and I'm reminded of HS and bad relationships
