    I don't really get depressed by doom metal but I can really recommend My Dying Bride's 'The sexuality of bereavement'. An oldie, from their brilliant EP entitled 'I am the bloody earth'. It's a very oppressively depressing song, truly morbid, heavy and slow, but with those amazing brittle melodies covering the layer of extremity.

    In soothe I lend a gracious ear
    Your sobbing, somehow sexual
    Come to my bosom. The help I bring
    Is all my pleasure you lonely, dear thing

    Oh, cruel love, when held by you
    My sanity does fly

    You lie there mourning with looks of desire
    'T is beauty when you cry

    Drink my grievingg love
    Desire and wine go well
    Sleep, I'll watch over you
    Relief? Time will tell

    Secrecy fosters passion
    You stay untouched
    I know you are alone
    With peace I care much

    Also 'Low man's lyric' by Metallica. That one really hurts the heart.

    Anything by Simon & Garfunkel. I like them and all (in fact, I'm listening to them now) but even their happy songs depress me for some reason.
