I especially like how the βrain falling downβ metaphor comes back when heβs going off and he says, βMy clothes are all wet, tell me!β

There is a small indie band called Kabir Cafe, whose songs are inspired by a 14th-15th century poet- philosopher called Kabir. Those are some amazing songs to hear to.
Liquor Bottle by Herbal T. Has a nice faux-upbeat rhythm with jazzy kinda beats, but lyrics.are dark. Definitely helps me keep a sane face on the dark days:
And that's why / I keep a
A liquor bottle in the freezer βͺ
In case I gotta take it out β«
Mix me a drink
To help me
Forget all the things
In my life that I worry about βͺ β«
Wax and Herbal T both nail those faux-upbeat type songs
I have several actually:
- As mentioned earlier: Portishead - Threads. Actually, the whole album is perfect for a certain desolate mood.
- The God Machine - Picture of a Bleeding Boy
- The Cure - End
- Joy Division - Komakino
- Nine Inch Nails - The Wretched
Solace by Earl Sweatshirt.
Good pick, I don't even have to click the link to recognize that pink background. I'd throw in most of SRS in there, too.

Y'all are in the mood for music when you're depressed?
Yeah I cry to sad songs when I'm depressed.
When I'm happy, I try not to listen to sad music because it brings the mood down. But when you're already feeling like shit, sad music helps you feel even worse. LPT
- Nine Inch Nails - Hurt
- Johnny Cash - Hurt
- Radiohead - Street Spirit
- New Order - True Faith
TV On The Radio - Young Liars. The entire EP, or just the single with the same name from it, depending on my mood.
Every New Year's i play the same two songs around midnight: This Year by The Mountain Goats and The Ice of Boston by The Dismemberment Plan. Both help me get through those turn of the year moods.

I've got a whole fucking playlist for real sadboy hours on rainy drives home where I want to get lost in the back of my mind and it's like 50% this band.

Bad Life by Sigrid+Bring Me The Horizon. Very on-the-nose but it's a damn good song.
Bedwetter - Man wearing a helmet
Bird is Bored of Flying, by Mastersystem, is the best soundtrack for falling into a depressive haze. Death Dream and Loneliness and the Scream by Frightened Rabbit, who shares the lead singer above, are also incredible. Music can keep the void from growing, and let you sort of float atop it.
