Pretty much have a playlist of my own depressing music, I just didn't include the songs that more or less have personal meaning to and are not so much melancholy. But these are some pretty sad songs, and worth listening to.

Thank you so much!
HelloxAlone: have you seen Mariana's Trench perform "Lover Dearest" live? It's crazy...I was actually speechless. I guess because of the story behind the song and the way Josh performs it. I didn't realize what the song was actually about until they performed it live.

anything by The Everpresent Melancholy.

Probably the shittiest name ever for a project, but he makes it count.
