    Anything on that Album by Johnny Cash with 'Hurt' on it...very melancholy.

    And try Skeeter Davis. Saddest sounding little voice I've ever heard, with lyrics that make you weep.....

    Storm by Lifehouse -- one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Here are the beginning lyrics:

    How long have I been in this storm
    So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
    The water is getting harder to tread
    With these waves crashing over my head

    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.

    Mozart Requiem, played on period instruments.


    add: The Requiem is intended to take a grieving person from despair to acceptance. So it can make you feel *better* but without trying to force you to be un-naturally *happy*.

    add 2: a performance on youtube: http://youtu.be/ZtPWt4FflZE
