I’m listening to Jacques Brel right now. What else y’all got for me? All genres and languages welcome.
Smog - The Well
or some Brad Sucks
Right Next To The Right One by Tim Christensen. It’s a nice mellow song
I’ve found that Charlie Cunningham has some stuff that can really motivate or put stuff in perspective. Stuff like Pathways or Headlights can feel like a hand on the shoulder.
I listened to both tracks. He has a really great voice. Reminds me of the time I spent in high school listening to indie lo-fi music. I’ll check out more of his music.
Anything acoustic by Chris Cornell.
Audioslave is also great, though not acoustic
I really like Soundgarden. I haven’t listened to his solo material before. It’s probably a good time to start. I remember when he passed, It’s still hard to believe he’s gone.
Shower in the dark day, clean sparks diving down
Cool in the waterways, where the baptized drown…
Chon or Strawberry Girls. They are both upbeat, neat and will turn your teardrops sweet.
Both bands slap. I especially liked Agua Verde by Strawberry Girls. Thanks for the recommendation. I love prog music.
Alan Walker has some bangers. Personal favourites are On My Way, Not You, and End of Time
Alec Benjamin is also amazing. Favourites are If I Killed Someone For You and Boy in the Bubble
Also Pokemon Mystery Dungeon has some of the best instrumental-only pieces IMO. Don’t Ever Forget from PMD Explorers is my all time favourite sad song (partly because of the context around when that song played in game but it stands just as well on its own).
The National and Bon Iver should be on this list.
EDEN - vertigo (album)
When I’m feeling what I can only describe as ‘general despair at the state of things’ (weltschmerz?) I have to admit that Babylon Zoo’s Spaceman does a great job in vocalising what I feel.
Type O Negative, doom and gloom is my cup of tea even when I’m not sad lol.
She’s in love with herself…
She likes the dark…

But if I’m being honest like 75% percent of what I listen to is sad. Lmk if anyone wants more.
Damien Rice Wet
Eyedea especially the song Even shadows have shadows
Schnittke’s Choir Concerto.
