I love sad music


I'm talking about music that when you're feeling down will make you feel worse. I don't want uplifting or inspirational. Some of Chopin's more melancholic works can do it for me.  I don't listen to country, but George Jones singing "It's a good day for the roses" is about as sad a song as you will find. Leonard Cohen's "Alexandra leaving" is another sad song. I have everything Davis and Coltrane recorded, so I'm looking for recommendations for the most beautiful but depressing music you've ever heard. I want to hear a violin, my favorite instrument, that will bring tears to your eyes. I know this is a strange request but some of the best music comes from dark places. Thanks

Ray Lamontagne, Shawn Phillips, Lucinda Williams just to name a few off top of my head. My daughter many times will open the door and ask if I'm okay and have to laugh and give her a hug and tell her I'm okay, which I am. Sad music can put me in a strange dark place that I enjoy in a very bizarre way when I zone out alone in a dark room. Okay now it's getting weird.
paulcreed...I know exactly what you're talking about.

I have to add a couple more. I apologize if somebody beat me to it.
Louis Armstrong: "St. James Infirmary"
Chet Baker: "Leaving"
Full albums:
Cookie the clown: You're welcome
Tom Waits: Bone machine
Ivano Fossati: Discanto
Here are a few sad songs that I truly love. All are in my semi-regular rotation.

Band of Horses - "The Funeral"
Band of Skulls - "Cold Fame"
Dada - "Moon"

For jazz, the entire first half of David Sanborn's Album - "Another Hand" is very melancholy and sets a mood.
