So many Clannad soundtracks, cbf to link all of them but these ones are the most feels - Snowfield, Shining in the Sky, Roaring Tides, Town Flow of Time People.
Died by Alice in Chains.
The bleakest song in rock history in my opinion.
Let's just say context and history are what give this song weight.
If you don't know what it's about and the events that lead up to this song, you won't get it.
Ohh, depressing music is my specialty, I have a whole playlist for this. Often, depressing songs are the best songs.
No Surprises by Radiohead How to Disappear Completely by Radiohead Drug Song by Dave Bixby Heroin by Lana Del Rey (really almost Lana's entire discography but this one hits the hardest) Expecting to Fly by Buffalo Springfield The More I Cry by Alice Boman Dagger by Slowdive Days of Candy by Beach House Sad by XXXTentacion especially because of the video Yikes by Kanye Blackout by Muse Now and Then by The Beatles, it's depressing because of the context, John Lennon wrote this song for Paul McCartney and he died before he could ever finish working on it Aizome by Mamiko Noto, one of my favorite ED's from one of my favorite series Jigoku Shoujo. Very weird video where she's... digging up a dead person's grave?

There are a bunch of, but one that comes to my mind is this:
I know the band has a weird name and they also have some weird song lyrics, but that one is amazing and heartwrenching.
Since I'm too lazy to translate the whole thing, I found a translation and copy-pasted it.
She doesn't know anymore, how long it's been going
Still it feels to her as it were forever
She and her child and those damned two jobs
It's to many to die for and to less to live for
Still she goes on because she has to, there is no alternative
There is so much, that falls on the sideway
Her luck and desire and especially love
After every working day
No one that tells her, that they like her
And the little one(child)
Asked for his father again
I want you to finally see, and I mean what I say
Since you've been three we've been putting up with this shit
because the coward has left us
He isn't coming back
Please don't talk about that ever again
But believe me we will make it
Everytime the night comes, everytime she lies there awake
She ask herself is this everything is this everything is this everything
Everytime the day comes, everytime she lies there awake
She ask herself is this everything is this everything is this everything
During the day she is a waiter, during the evenings she also has to clean.
And yesterday she slipped her hand during a fight with her son
And she's sorry, she knows, that she isn't supposed to do such a thing.
Still she can't bair this sad look
While she brings him to granny again.
She only wants it to work out for him,
She wants him to have changes.
She is tired of the jobs
on the damn announcement page.
Please forgive me, for being there so rarely
for not being able to help you with your homework
I also can't make it to the parents night again
And you know how little money we have
I hope that you know that when I can
I'd like to spend some more time with you
But unfortunately that isn't possible for the time being
Everytime the night comes, everytime she lies there awake
She ask herself is this everything is this everything is this everything
Everytime the day comes, everytime she lies there awake
She ask herself is this everything is this everything is this everything
Everytime the burgain kills you, that she claims herself to it
When she can't get any sleep
She asks herself is this everything, is this everything
is this everything, is this everything, is this everything
After a night without sleep
she sees everything clear
She strokes her son's hair
Remembers who she would be without him
Then she stands up looks at the time
Gets her coat from the hook in the corridor
Unlocks the door and gets out
In the middle of the day but she knows why
It doesn't matter what they say, It passes me
Doesn't matter what they expect from us, it's just about us two
Even when things aren't easy, it shall be like that
Even when the road is far I'm won't go alone
Everytime the night comes, everytime you lie there awake
You ask yourself is this everything is this everything is this everything
Everytime the day comes, everytime you lie there awake
You ask yourself is this everything is this everything is this everything
Everytime the burgain kills you, that you claim yourself to it
When you can't get your sleep
You ask yourself is this everything, is this everything
is this everything, is this everything, is this
Without you by Ashen Remains is sad but damn I love it.
Then, uhm... well, there's definitely The World Beyon by Burn the Rez. That is not only sad, is depressing.
