I love sad music


I'm talking about music that when you're feeling down will make you feel worse. I don't want uplifting or inspirational. Some of Chopin's more melancholic works can do it for me.  I don't listen to country, but George Jones singing "It's a good day for the roses" is about as sad a song as you will find. Leonard Cohen's "Alexandra leaving" is another sad song. I have everything Davis and Coltrane recorded, so I'm looking for recommendations for the most beautiful but depressing music you've ever heard. I want to hear a violin, my favorite instrument, that will bring tears to your eyes. I know this is a strange request but some of the best music comes from dark places. Thanks

Sorry all but Sufjan Steven’s Casimir Pulaski Day is head and shoulders the saddest song - about the singer’s girlfriend dying of bone cancer. The lyrics are amazing.
Why on earth would you ever want to hear this? Because it’s beautifully sung, well recorded, and if you don’t bawl your eyes out you aren’t alive.

davehg...I'm alive. I started watching the video, but couldn't make out all of the lyrics so I downloaded them and watched the video again. Beautifully tragic and sad.
