This could qualify as it's own thread: "Happy Sounding or Beautiful Music; Depressing Lyrics"
For those that want a list of of depressing instrumental music, some of these might be of interest:
Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings (a bit cliche, but it is still sad/depressing)
Penderecki - Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima
Shostakovich - symphony 4, 8, 10, Pretty much any of his String quartets
Schnittke - Piano Quintet
Gorecki - Symphony 3
Rautavaara - Cantus Arcticus
And if there were a god, I think it very unlikely that he would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence - Russell
Elgar's Cello Concerto goes right to the heart of melancholy and despair.
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down.'- Bob Newhart
