Songs for a "sad" play list
I'm looking for music that I'd want to listen to if I'm having a bad day but don't really want to be cheered up. Sometimes it feels good to cry it out and just face our feelings without trying to tell ourselves everything is ok.
Because sometimes everything isn't ok...
Any song suggestions? No heavy metal/hard rock, etc, please.

I know I've got more somewhere, but four songs that come to my mind are:
1) "Is it Real" from Cowboy Bebop
2) "Sadness and Sorrow" from Naruto
3) "Pride" from Jin-Roh: the Wolf Brigade
4) the theme from Schindler's list.
Yes, they're all from movies or anime, but I think that's why they stand out to me. These pieces were intended to elicit somber, melancholy emotions.
Getting away from the movie / TV soundtracks, there's also:
1) Barber's "Adagio for Strings"
2) The first movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata"
ETA: various forms of Blues can also have a cathartic effect.0 -
What affects each of us is different because of our personal experiences. To me the ones that make me sad are the things now lost to me.... things that will never return to how they were before. Leading to the lifting of tangible heavy things. Since a heavy heart isn't easily moved.
