Sometimes depending on my mood I find it can be cathartic to immerse yourself and feel the raw emotion of a sad/melacholic song, so what are some of your favorites? Doesn't matter what genre it is as long as it gives you the sense of sadness/melancholy.

I'll go first...



 
/\ Wow talk about lo-fi lol. Honestly I don't even know what to make of that. I don't hate it tho.

It's a bit played out, but I gotta post this one...

Yeah, I didn't watch that specific video, and just realized the recording is a lot worse than the album version. So, in order to do it justice, here's the album version (much better quality): http://flowerface.bandcamp.com/track/september - probably gonna edit my OP and link this instead.

Also, despite the hype around the track, I never actually listened to Hello.
 
Also, I've really been digging this shit. It's really weird and abstract, but cultivates a sort of somber/melancholic atmosphere.



These are both from their first album




They have a lot more great stuff, if you like it check out their bandcamp page.

The best kind of melancholy is the one masquerading with a mask of happiness - true sadness is always bitter-sweet ;)

 
Joy Division, early Cocteau Twins, Radiohead, early Cure..a lot of stuff released on 4AD.. It's all melancholy and I love it.
