I love sad music


I'm talking about music that when you're feeling down will make you feel worse. I don't want uplifting or inspirational. Some of Chopin's more melancholic works can do it for me.  I don't listen to country, but George Jones singing "It's a good day for the roses" is about as sad a song as you will find. Leonard Cohen's "Alexandra leaving" is another sad song. I have everything Davis and Coltrane recorded, so I'm looking for recommendations for the most beautiful but depressing music you've ever heard. I want to hear a violin, my favorite instrument, that will bring tears to your eyes. I know this is a strange request but some of the best music comes from dark places. Thanks

davehg,
I didn't get that feeling from Kasmir Pulaski Day at all. The tune was sort of bouncy, reminded me of a John Sebastian song, and I think that the lyrics were a little awkward and uninspired.
It just shows again that we all find different things sad.
Hall and Oates - 70's Scenario
Jefferson Airplane - Lather
Seatrain - Creepin' Midnight 
Alice in Chains - Would? 
Beck - Round the Bend
Pretenders - Lovers of Today
A few off the top of my mind. There are many others.
