I’m listening to Jacques Brel right now. What else y’all got for me? All genres and languages welcome.
Type O Negative, doom and gloom is my cup of tea even when I’m not sad lol.
She’s in love with herself…
She likes the dark…
I call random customer service phone lines and wait in line and then hang up after 30 seconds of listening to the saddest person on earth asking if I’m there or if I can hear them.
When I’m feeling what I can only describe as ‘general despair at the state of things’ (weltschmerz?) I have to admit that Babylon Zoo’s Spaceman does a great job in vocalising what I feel.
Sigur Ros.
I loved Hvarf/Heim. Which studio album of theirs is your favorite? It’s really chill music.
Ágætis byrjun, Takk, and ( ) are my favorites. The older stuff is more my style.
Down down down my itchy, Red water by rehab
Anything acoustic by Chris Cornell.
Audioslave is also great, though not acoustic
I really like Soundgarden. I haven’t listened to his solo material before. It’s probably a good time to start. I remember when he passed, It’s still hard to believe he’s gone.
Shower in the dark day, clean sparks diving down
Cool in the waterways, where the baptized drown…
Smog - The Well
or some Brad Sucks
Little girl blue, the version of Janis Joplin. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yYHJ_A8qnXw
EDEN - vertigo (album)
Alan Walker has some bangers. Personal favourites are On My Way, Not You, and End of Time
Alec Benjamin is also amazing. Favourites are If I Killed Someone For You and Boy in the Bubble
Also Pokemon Mystery Dungeon has some of the best instrumental-only pieces IMO. Don’t Ever Forget from PMD Explorers is my all time favourite sad song (partly because of the context around when that song played in game but it stands just as well on its own).
I usually listen to the album Still Can’t Kill Us (Acoustic Sessions) by Icon for Hire.
When I feel really miserable I listen to the album I Went to Hell and Back by As It Is.
To tune out and reset my mental and emotional state: Most anything by Paleowolf
To restore hope and interest in seeking good things from life:
- Rainbow Connection by Kermit the Frog
- Glorious Dawn by Melodysheep
- Nightswimming by R.E.M. (This one can be risky though, sometimes it makes me feel even more nostalgia-sad.)

Johnny Cash’s version of “Hurt”
Great cover by an amazing artist. I hadn’t listened to his version in a while. It’s still so good. Thank you!
I’ve found that Charlie Cunningham has some stuff that can really motivate or put stuff in perspective. Stuff like Pathways or Headlights can feel like a hand on the shoulder.
I listened to both tracks. He has a really great voice. Reminds me of the time I spent in high school listening to indie lo-fi music. I’ll check out more of his music.
