Howling, by Tomoyasu Hotei.



For some reason I just picture this song playing over a death montage or a funeral in a heavy Japanese drama or mecha show.

Steven Wilson might veer over the edge from melancholy to depressing, but I certainly listen to him in a melancholic mood. Also these videos are gorgeous stop motion works of art.

Smashing Pumpkins - 1979, takes me right back to high school and cruising around in my friends old beat up truck.





When I was a kid it was a family tradition that we'd go to the movies on Sunday and afterwards go to a local "throwback" 1950's/60's style diner. They had a Jukebox in there and my dad would always give me a quarter to play a song on it. I ALWAYS played this song, every single time cause I just loved it, but it annoyed the hell out of my dad lol.

This song always gets me:



I don't know something about the singing and instrumentation, not necessarily the lyrics, expect the line: "I will see you in the next life."

This one always made me feel emotions of one kind or another.


And while really anything off the OTS could fit, Build That Wall from Bastion is probably my favorite. Hope the mood works out for you, OP.

Björk - Play Dead

It's sometimes just like sleeping
Curling up inside my private tortures
I nestle into pain
Hug suffering
Caress every ache
I play dead
It stops the hurting

This Sadness and Sorrow cover (from Naruto) on violin is what I listen to when I feel shitty.
