RIP Chairman Humph + My Depressing Playlist

[mystix]

I am very sad to hear that Humphrey Lyttelton has died. It was only recently that I went to Leeds with lorcas_novena to see him on the I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue tour, and although he was frail, he still played the trumpet at the end to a packed auditorium of cheering fans.

I understand your interest in this - sad and soulful music is a release all its own. Some of mine are on your list, so I'll omit those, but here's what comes to mind otherwise:

Empty - Ray LaMontagne
Cripple and the Starfish - Antony and the Johnsons
Shake the Disease - Depeche Mode
All I Can Remember - Easyworld
'Til the Day - Easyworld
Grace [album] - Jeff Buckley
Dream Brother (live version on Mystery White Boy) - Jeff Buckley
Forget Her - Jeff Buckley (it was hard to just choose three by Jeff. I am completely obsessed)
Only Skin - Joanna Newsom (this song chills me to the bone)
Small Black Flowers That Grow in the Sky - Manic Street Preachers
This Weather - Patrick Wolf
The Stars - Patrick Wolf
Nude - Radiohead
Half a Person - The Smiths
The Promise - When in Rome

Take care dear,
Craig

Radiohead - The Bends and OK Computer, Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral or Pretty Hate Machine, Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon and Comfortably Numb, Manic Street Preachers, before Richey's disappearance - The Holy Bible.... So many more, I mainly like depressing music! I can't think of it all of the top of my head though ;)
