I'm nae the voice o' the darkened thistle, but th' darkened thistle cannae bear the sight o' our Bonnie Prince Bernie nae mair.
I'm not feeling very sad right now, but I certainly have in the past. And there's nothing like a sad song when you're feeling sad to make you feel good/worse. Let's share!

Turns out all of mine sound the same, so it's good I'm making this thread.

Little Motel by Modest Mouse really got me, mostly because out-and-out sad songs aren't something they do often (black-comedy existential dread tends to be more their thing). The video might push it a little too far, but it still doesn't help/hurt.
