Extra points for explicit mention of seratonin

The Shy Retirer by Arab Strap - YouTube

I was thinking Arab Strap as well. This is pretty grim...

Yoav - Where Is My Mind - YouTube

Emily borwn remix is brilliant until it goes kinda rocky. Then I have to turn it off

The fuck is that!? Utter shite.

^^^ Ooh, forgot Malcolm Middleton, I love A Brighter Beat

Coldplay is just generally depressing.

Can't believe we're at post #32 and nobody's posted any Radiohead yet

Elton John wins this battle hands down.

Someone Saved My Life Tonight - Lyrics

And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away bye bye

Are we on about depressed songs? Or songs that make you depressed?

If the latter:

Mazzy Star - Fade Into You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XucegAHZojc

Cat Power - Hate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsfdW8xAZRY

Fleetwood Mac - Landslide (and most other songs about getting older) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM7-PYtXtJM&ob=av2n

If the latter:

Well from a depressing point of view. Where you've lost your job/feel sorry for yourself/break up ask as you've said. That you listen to because they just fit the mood.
Or there is a back story that fits with your mood.
