Music to die to...

I’ve put together for all of you a little playlist including some of my favorite depressing music. I started thinking about this because I received the newest copy in the mail the other day of Truvy’s kicking new remix cd. Well, she included a remix of Kelly Clarkson’s “Because of You” on it, which I love because of course it is about her parents’ divorce. “Yeaaaaaaaaah!! The divorce song is on…let’s hit the dance floor!” I mean, this is nothing new – as you all know we fags will remix and dance to anything…even if it is about, say, rape, suicide or domestic violence. So I decided to brainstorm some of my favorite slit-your-wrists songs in my library, ripe for remixing:

“Wise Up” – Aimee Mann
“The Saddest Song I’ve Got” – Annie Lennox
“Eleanor Rigby” – The Beatles
“Feel to Believe” – Beth Orton
“Love Ridden” – Fiona Apple
“Black Eyed Dog” – Nick Drake
“Rowing Song” – Patty Griffin
“Hurt” – Johnny Cash
“Exit Music (For a Film)” – Radiohead
“Putting the Damage On” – Tori Amos
“Maps” – Yeah Yeah Yeahs
“You Had Time” – Ani Difranco
“Goodbye My Lover” – James Blunt
“I’m Gonna Be Strong” – Cyndi Lauper
“Worn Me Down” – Rachel Yamagata
“The Origin of Love” – Hedwig and the Angry Inch

What artists have I missed? What do you all listen to when you just want to light some candles, draw a warm bath, and end it?
