Joy Division all of their songs and The Smiths
Eminem - Stan
It's about a fan of Eminems that is depressed and writes letters to Eminem. Eminem doesn't answer them in time and the fan kills his wife and himself.

Dry your Eyes - The Streets
the version with Chris Martin is the best
Sad as in pathetic and badly written:
The Funeral - Band of Horses
I can Feel a Hot One - Manchester Orchestra
This Place is a Prison - The Postal Service
John Prine/Yim Yames- Bruised Orange
Neutral Milk Hotel- In the Aeroplane over the Sea
Smiths- Suffer little children, There's a light that never goes out, reel around the fountain.
Many songs from the Cure, Bessie Smith, BON IVER!
Death Cab For Cutie - I will follow you into the dark
Pink Floyd - Welcome to the Machine
Band of Horses - No One's Gonna Love You
Joy Division - Isolation (et al)
I guess Radiohead - Reckoner is kind of depressing? As are all their songs.
Also just found this Beach Boys cover of Seasons in the Sun. They're trying really hard to make it upbeat but it's still depressing -
Anything from Beyonce.
Knowing That I'll never get to have her.
It's very very sad.
Radiohead: Bulletproof
After hearing this song, the critics wondered whether Yorke needed to be hospitalized.
Limb by limb and tooth by tooth,
Tearing up inside of me,
Every day, every hour, just wish that I...
Was bulletproof
Wax me, mould me,
Heat the pins and stab them in,
You have turned me into this, just wish that it...
Was bulletproof
Was bulletproof
So pay me money and take a shot,
Lead fill the hole in me,
I could burst a million bubbles, all surrogate...
And bulletproof
And bulletproof
And bulletproof
Bulletproof
"Fast Car" - Tracy Chapman
I am suprised that no one has metioned Depeche Mode. They have many depressing songs with Blasphomus Rumors topping the list. Below is a good video using the song, but it is not the orginal video.
Bob Dillon - Most of the Time
REM - Everybody Hurts
Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - The Smiths
Come on- even the title puts you on a downer I always find their music strangely uplifting though!
Everyday Like Sunday - another Morrisey classic
Old Shep
"Child's Song," written by Murray McLaughlin and perhaps best-known in the version by Tom Rush, is pretty rough stuff.
Anything by Jackson "Bring Me Down" Browne.
A good moving song is:
Elephant in the Room by Richard Walters.
Check it out!
Sad blasts from the past:
Roy Orbison: It's Over
Gilbert O'Sullivan: Alone Again, Natually
Harry Chapin: Sometime, Somewhere Wife
Elvis Presley: Cold Kentucky Rain
