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. 
Just watched a Rick Beato "What makes this song great" youtube video about Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind" probably my favorite song of all time. When Beato breaks it down you can't help but appreciate just how good the song is.
