I like stuff
mmm.. I always found that one soothing. "The Great Beyond" fucks me up, though. (In a good way -- I love it, but still really sad.)
Not so much in a personal sense, but in a broad sense, I think Billie Holliday's "Gloomy Sunday" (her version of the Hungarian Suicide Song) both musically and lyrically is one of the saddest songs ever written/performed.
On a more personal tip, for some stupid reason that I can't really justify, Radiohead's "Fake Plastic Trees" usually chokes me up a little. It's not the lyrics at all, really. I think it's just a nostalgic thing, reminding me of what was happening in my life when I used to listen to that album, but because of the sad tone of the music the memories it conjures tend to be the sad ones.
The great beyond a warm place and hurt are just incredibly deeply moving pieces of music. So grateful for such beauty
