If you want music to sit around feeling depressed, hard to beat Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave. I won't try linking to anything because I'm in a decent mood and don't want to spend the rest of the week feeling shitty.

The boy Gedge has written some of the best love songs of the 'Rock ‘n’ Roll' era. You may dispute this, but I’m right and you’re wrong!” – John Peel.

just one, there are dozens I could have picked, but they all sound the same.

There are literally millions of songs within the topic. But when I’m feeling a bit melancholic, Ray LaMontagne always hits the spot... I’m a massive fan.

Try this one out “Trouble”

The closing 'But I hate when I feel like this and I never hated you' just tears me in half.

The simplicity of Dusty's love triangle heartbreak.
You've been crying your face is a mess
Come in baby, you can wipe the tears on my dress
She's hurt you again, I can tell
I know that look so well

This was written by Emmylou Harris about her late boyfriend, Gram Parsons, formerly of The Byrds:

Another of Emmylou’s songs, this one can break my heart if it catches me in a fragile mood. It’s a song I’d like played at my funeral, and I’ve been fortunate to see her play it live.

The Wedding Present, Bewitched - "....but the moment's gone" There's not a more poignant lyric anywhere. Surely everyone has missed 'a moment' at some time?

Skeeter Davis set the bar pretty high a long time ago. Updated by The Carpenters and Brenda Lee and best of all Sharon Van Etten

Jason Molina mentioned above but...

Farewell transmission

The real truth about it is no one gets it right
The real truth about it is we're all supposed to try
There ain't no end to the sands I've been trying to cross
The real truth about it is my kind of life's no better off
If I've got the maps or if I'm lost

Proof that he doesn't just do bitterness...

And this is painfully brilliant.
