I have my reasons, I want to listen to some sad music. Favorably classic or instrumental, it always makes it better.

For example: Forrest Gump Suite - Alan Silvestri

Anything by Ludovico Einaudi, if it's gotta be classical, it's gotta be Einaudi...

Sleep by Phish. It's not sad but everytime I listen to it I get a smile on my face.

Death Cab for Cutie and Jose Gonzalez. He's acoustic but his music is really good. Might help.

Contemporary Music
Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - The Assassination of Jesse James OST: the OST for The Proposition by Cave and Ellis is also good.

Carter Burwell - In Bruges OST: A mix of original compositions and other music. Very good.

Operas & Choral
Vivaldi - Gloria, Magnificat, Concerti: I have been listening to this choral piece for days now, it is excellent, especially the Sara Mingardlo & Patrizia Biccire Recording.

Reinhard Goebel - Francesco Maria Veracini: 5 Overtures

Schubert - Winterreise: Although I'm not a big fan of German Operas Winterreise is a very good "brooding" music.


If you're not into Operas or Choral pieces you might just want to stick with the contemporary pieces, the two contemporary pieces i listed are excellent "brooding" music.

I'm sure theres others I'm forgetting, and some of this probably isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it's all good music.
