Most depressing songs

[the shortest route to the sea]

Space Lion by the Seatbelts.

It is simultaneously sad and happy as Shitman the Barbarian at the same time.

It's awesome. 

Partly by association. Blue gets me the same way, I cried at the end. 

Arcade Fire...man, what gets me about them is that they put everything on the table right there. All of their feelings of displacement and pain and loss and frustration and melancholy and short, brilliant hope all mix together. Maybe sad is less accurate, but their music certainly recognizes a tragic aspect in the world.
