In opposition to the happy music I want some sad music. I'm not talking EMO rock type stuff. Im talking sultry voices singing the blues. Some real my wife left me type stuff.
Specifically the stuff you would hear a lounge singer / jazz club play. Old classics.
Some stuff I already have is Nora jones, various blues artists. Mainly I just typed the above key words into itunes and listened to a bunch and picked what I like. If anyone has better ideas that would be great.
What is the song in cassablanca where he is like play it again? stuff of that nature would be good.

see if you can find Rainbow Disconection, it was taken down due to legal reasons, but you can still find it.

Also, you could try Frou Frou - The Dumbing Down of Love. Actually, anything from the Details album is either very sad or very happy, so you could kill two birds with one stone from that one.
Isabelle Antena - Say I Believe In It is also really good, and it was featured on the season one finale of The Boondocks.
Jose Gonzalez - Teardrop -- it's a cover of a Massive Attack song which played during the most recent season finale of House. Massive Attack's version is also good -- it's the show's theme song.
Umm, let me look up a youtube...

Though I wouldn't really call it sad.

Pearl Jam - Black

Black is just one of many great, sad Pearl Jam songs.

Man, that's just annoying, not sad. It takes more than transposing something to minor to make it sad. The original was fine. That guy's voice is just grating. I liked the guitar intro to his Hallelujah, but then he started singing.
But Not For Me by Gershwin is quite the downer.

Though that may just be the fact that I associate it with a depressing episode of Scrubs. >_>

Blue in Green by Miles Davis is melancholy.
"Fake Plastic Trees", "Bulletproof... I Wish I was", "Videotape".
I think "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton is probably the saddest song ever.
Erin McKeown - A Better Wife, Vera, Beautiful (I Guess), You Were Right About Everything
Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now
Alanis Morissette - Mary Jane
Ani DiFranco - School Night
Counting Crows - A Long December

Foo Fighters - Let it Die
Great Canadian Band. Song gets me every time.

So many wonderful melancholy songs from Tom Waits, but this one is his very best. See also most of the Blue Valentine album, including a version of Somewhere (There's a Place for Us) from West Side Story that is far superior to the original. If you're interested more in the subject matter and lyrics than the music, Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis and Kentucky Avenue, both off the same album, are great. I also cannot recommend the entire Alice album highly enough. For a mellower version of same, you might try to find the Alice original demos. Similar songs, completely different character in many cases.
