There is that highly suspect song I loved but then I watched the music video and now I get anxiety when I hear it.

Now playing Highly Suspect - Lydia

A lot of Anathema and Opeth songs remind me of my ex.

[–] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Pretty much all of the "Jets to Brazil" albums.

The lyrics are just. Too. Good.

For a while it was "I really want to stay at your house" the ending to edgerunners makes that song so depressing

[–] NichtElias@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago

I had that in my Spotify discover weekly today and holy shit

God that show fucks you up emotionally

I hate that I know what you're talking about :(

Not really, but there's a few I can't listen to when I drive because I know I'm going to cry, and that ain't safe

Travelin soldier, the Dixie chicks version is a big one.

Then there's still my hero, by jellyroll. I'm dealing with some of that stuff now, and it's fucking brutal.

There's others, because I'm a sappy old bastard, but I don't reckon you want a big list

Elliott Smith is amazing, but I def can't listen to him without wanting to immediately shoot up illicit opiates and ruin my queer lil life again.

Sara Bareilles - She Used To Be Mine

And there's also Tonight Alive's Amelia that I couldn't finish listening to even once because it was too heartbreaking

If We Were Vampires by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

Not sure if we’re doing content warnings? But it’s about death and the inevitability of losing someone you love dearly.

Man, I love that song.

Isbell is a jerk, but he's a fucking poet for sure

Beautiful, thanks!

Bones in the Ocean hurts me in ways that it has no business doing so.

I've never suffered a loss of any great magnitude. I've never even been to sea, though I desperately wish I had been.

Freak Kitchen - Breathe

[–] lemmie689 3 points 1 day ago

Roy Orbison songs. I'm still pretty sad about his death.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 1 day ago

outer wilds OST

Phil Ochs - When I'm gone

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

You have to be in the right headspace for Iron & Wine's "Each Coming Night"

[–] Reil@beehaw.org 1 points 1 day ago

Every once in a while I try to play Dear McCracken and sing through the last part. The way I start ugly crying means I can't put it on a playlist where I'll actually pay attention to the song.

[–] AZERTY@feddit.nl 1 points 1 day ago

On The Nature Of Daylight - Max Richter

It's a beautiful piece of music but it's been used as the background for so many sad movie sequences it tends to just make me sad. It's been used in Arrival and Shutter Island to name a few. I actually can't listen to it when I use psychedelics bc it turns my mood melancholy af.

[–] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Green light rod wave, basically any or most of rod wave.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 1 points 1 day ago

Since learning the reason the song was written and the meaning behind it, Gotye - Bronte makes me sob like a baby

[–] Elaine@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Sekilos Epitaph. I listened to it a lot when my loved one died.

[–] myrmidex@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago

This song always does it for me, even after a decade and some years.

Her Space Holiday - Sleepy California
