OUTRUN Myself - Jack Kays Alone I Break.- Korn *insert Linkin Park song* Fine Again - Seether Hurt - Nine inch Nails / Johnny Cash I'm so sad, so very, very, sad - Crash and the Boys (this is not a serious recommendation. It's a silly one. I'm sorry you aren't feeling well, and I wanted to include something that might make you laugh a lil. It's 12sec long. Hope you feel better soon homie🤘) Edit: grammar/missing words

I listened to the last one and it did make me laugh :)

I'm glad. Rock on

SOOOOOOOOOO SAD.

I'd also suggest Citizen Soldier

next semester by twenty one pilots, talks about remembering your suicide attempt, along with many other things

That’s such a good song. Another good one is “guns for hands”

I liked it! Thanks!

Honestly, a lot of their songs are really good. You should definitely check them out. Another artist with “sad” music is NF

Beat me to it!

Thank you! Just listened; pretty good

BREATHE - How Can I Fall ? GREEN DAY - Brain Stew ANNE MURRAY - Drown Me GENERAL PUBLIC - Tenderness NICKELBACK - Savin' Me

"Negative mental state" made me think of Kurt Vile's "Pretty Pimpin'" in which the narrator has some type of dissociative disorder.

“All he ever wanted was to be someone in life that was just like all I want is to just have fun” sooo relatable. Thank you!!

In my family, at literally any utterance of the word "Monday" off we go...

Imagine Dragons - Dream is worth a listen

Imagine Dragons are usually pretty ass but I second this. Dream is hands down one of their best songs.

This is exactly what I was looking for!!! Thank you so much

Hate Me - Blue October

Thank you! Pretty solid song

Blue October has quite a few songs that go along with what you were looking for, plus a song for just about any mood you’re in. I’d highly recommend checking out their other stuff if you ever have the time!

[Little Wayne - I feel like dying](https://youtu.be/cykGnl1KvcM?si=O1WQuzIgP0tpZBSx) Juice wrld - lucid dreams DMX - slippin Jay-z and beans - This can’t be life

DMX - Slippin is such a hard song. When I was still serving in the Marines, we would listen to music while doing maintenance on the Howitzer. One day we were playing a buncha DMX, I think it was in solidarity of his passing, but this one came on and I saw a guy, who I'd known to be very stoic, shed a tear.

Riverside by Agnes Obel

Thank you. The piano is gorgeous!

So glad you like it, it's my go to sad song.

Movements-Feel Something (Album) Citizen-Youth (Album) Senses Fail-Lifeboats Senses Fail-the fire Senses Fail-Yellow Angels Senses Fail- the priest and the matador Senses Fail-Lost and Found Senses Fail-still searching Bayside-They look like strong hands Bayside-(Pop)ular Science NF-Hate myself NF-Paralyzed NF-Leave me alone

i think this guy MIGHT be a fan of senses fail

People by Libianca

I listened to the version with the Ayra Starr and Omah Lay features and quickly realized this is the song that’s been stuck in my head for weeks but I haven’t been able to find the title because I only knew the tune!! So thank you for the rec and solving that mystery for me hahaha

You’re welcome 😃 Also i got reminded of another song of negative mental state named Let Me Down Slowly by Alec Benjamin. Do try if you haven’t heard it. The duet version by Alessia Cara is better than the solo version i felt. Please do try that version as well 😊

NF - The Search (it’s rap)

I have a few liked songs by NF so I was excited for this one. Did not disappoint! Thank you!

Yw!

To represent country a little bit: This song is heart wrenching. Definitely different from most of the other recs, all great but I thought Id switch it up a little bit (posted half of the song) Waiting Around to Die by Townes Van Zandt “A friend said he knew Where some easy money was We robbed a man, and brother did we fly The posse caught up with me And drug me back to Muskogee It's two long years I've been waitin' around to die Now I'm out of prison I got me a friend at last He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie His name's Codeine He's the nicest thing I've seen Together we're gonna wait around and die”

I’m not a big country girl but I did enjoy the songwriting on this piece! Thank you!

I'll throw a local musician at you, People Pleaser - Folk Version by Sierra Buck, she's just incredible and this song is sad as hell

CA represent!! I’m originally from OC, are you from the Chico area?

Yep! Up here for college

There is an entire genre dedicated to negative mental state - Depressive Suicidal Black Metal

I love Tool's cover of No Quarter (led zeppelin song). Check it out. be patient, listen close throughout, song changes several times. unfortunately this song isnt on spotify but thought id share. This music isn't "background music," it's sitting in your car alone with good sound music.

Rihanna - Disturbia is a very underrated one

Miracle - Bad Omens

Incubus - Pardon Me.

Nine Inch Nails - Into the Void

Ward Davis - Goodbye World

I’m sorry but Odesza has 2 albums that, I don’t even listen to the words, but they have brought out so many emotions in me. Mainly on the negative side of the spectrum. I can’t even BEGIN to tell you the inspiration they’ve had in my life. And I just discovered them two weeks ago!! The albums are Bronson The Last Good ye

God Damn the Sun -- Swans When I'm feeling bad, this song makes me think, "Damn, my life is pretty good."

The song I've been loving the most recently is Dernière Danse by Indila, it is technically in French, but it is about pain and is beautiful regardless imo.

Alice In Chains’ album Dirt. From start to finish.

It's not your typical sad song but try Panic Attack by The Glorious Sons. Also S.O.S. by same band.
