Something went wrong when I started this; my apologies if I posted
essentially the same thing twice...
Some of my fave bands are melancholy masters:
Gene: "Olympian", "We'll Find Our Own Way", etc
Trashcan Sinatras: "Earlies", "Obscurity Knocks", "You Made Me Feel", etc
Amelia Fletcher of Heavenly/Marine Research/Tender Trap has a knack for
combining upbeat pop with depressing lyrics.
The same goes for the Popguns: "Every Dream", "Over Your Head", etc. In
fact, their album Love Junky is one heartbreaker after another. It can be
found criminally cheap used.
Bill Ricchini's last album had a few great ones: "Eugene Hill", "She Doesn't
Come Around Here Anymore"
Other Faves:
Mary Chapin Carpenter - This Shirt
Cosmic Rough RIders - The Pain Inside
Liz Phair - Divorce Song
I think the best sad songs usually have a glimmer of hope to them.
