Michael Stipe, Thom Yorke, Tom Waits, Chet Baker...
What do these dudes all have in common you ask?
Well, other than drug use and being major weirdos; these dudes suffer from a deep sadness that is clearly audible in their music. Ironically, not only does depression/melancholy have the power to destroy people but it also has the power to uplift the downtrodden. These artists were able to turn their feelings into pure musical masterpieces that affect so many!
Below are some of their most beautiful and soulful tunes. Each in their own right expresses a deep sadness through a gorgeous sound! Enjoy:
