I was recently talking with a friend about songs we liked, and I suddenly realized not just that an awful lot of mine—perhaps most of them—are rather sad, even grim, but that very often, when I'm in a bleak kind of mood, I prefer to listen to this sort of music rather than anything cheerful or uplifting. I was curious whether other people found this to be true, and, for those of you who don't mind confiding this sort of thing, what your favorite depressing songs are. Anyone?
