I especially like how the “rain falling down” metaphor comes back when he’s going off and he says, “My clothes are all wet, tell me!”
The Burgundian lullaby perhaps
Have been too depressed for too many decades. Lost the ability to enjoy music. Miss it, but anytime I try it feels contrived and I hear people from my past deriding my selections for various reasons.
Magnolia Electric Co - The Dark Don’t Hide It or Just Be Simple
Mogwai - Helicon 2
Broken Social Scene - Lovers Spit
There is a small indie band called Kabir Cafe, whose songs are inspired by a 14th-15th century poet- philosopher called Kabir. Those are some amazing songs to hear to.
Liquor Bottle by Herbal T. Has a nice faux-upbeat rhythm with jazzy kinda beats, but lyrics.are dark. Definitely helps me keep a sane face on the dark days:
And that's why / I keep a
A liquor bottle in the freezer ♪
In case I gotta take it out ♫
Mix me a drink
To help me
Forget all the things
In my life that I worry about ♪ ♫
Wax and Herbal T both nail those faux-upbeat type songs
I have several actually:
The fragile cd 1 is just fantastic depreasion music all around.
steiner's theme from ff9
Y'all are in the mood for music when you're depressed?
Yeah I cry to sad songs when I'm depressed.
When I'm happy, I try not to listen to sad music because it brings the mood down. But when you're already feeling like shit, sad music helps you feel even worse. LPT
TV On The Radio - Young Liars. The entire EP, or just the single with the same name from it, depending on my mood.
Every New Year's i play the same two songs around midnight: This Year by The Mountain Goats and The Ice of Boston by The Dismemberment Plan. Both help me get through those turn of the year moods.

You just won't lie down. Even closing your eyes, you can't let it go, Surrounded inside. Leave it alone. You don't get it back Undoing the scenes you can't explain, Whatever you dream That you've buried away. It seems like you're there as someone removed And left in their place with nothing to do. Bound to the switch. Railing again at the thought of the fight For well-earned dissent Undeserved at the time. As you've been shown, the motion has gone A shade of the night, only leading you on.
Bad Life by Sigrid+Bring Me The Horizon. Very on-the-nose but it's a damn good song.
808 OG trap beats
Saddy Daddy-O by Artimus Wolz, which is also a bop
Bedwetter - Man wearing a helmet
Giving up by Corbin and sodus cementeries
Whipping boy - we don't need nobody else
Bird is Bored of Flying, by Mastersystem, is the best soundtrack for falling into a depressive haze. Death Dream and Loneliness and the Scream by Frightened Rabbit, who shares the lead singer above, are also incredible. Music can keep the void from growing, and let you sort of float atop it.

Orchid Mantis - Flashbulb Memory
I've got a whole fucking playlist for real sadboy hours on rainy drives home where I want to get lost in the back of my mind and it's like 50% this band.
