This actually the second song in the above post from @jman197 - after I listened to it I had to bring it in line but we can only have one video per post. Sorry if I'm confusing myself (and maybe you?)

My personal playlist for every flavor of sadness....it's kind of weird but listening to it actually helps me feel better. Probably because no one who hasn't experienced the extreme and seemingly endless despair that often comes over me could have written songs like this and knowing this makes me feel less alone. I rarely, if ever, let anyone in my real life know how bad it gets so this playlist is also an outlet. Two things: some of the songs may be triggering and I have a very eclectic tastes in music so it might seem kind of random.

I hope it's working now. The imagery is beautiful and heartrending. When I play the song on my guitar, I add in an additional verse. It's kind of an amusing co-incidence but you can pluck this right out of George Orwell's 1984 and plop it down in your tablature:
Under the spreading chestnut tree
I sold you and you sold me
There they lie and here lie we
Under the spreading chestnut tree
and get sort of an Orwell & Garfunkel sad love song for the whole world.
This video is on a site that I actually use instead of scraping with youtube-dl and the imagery looks like how I remember the institution where my (trans) brother was incarcerated from age 10 until the insurance money ran out:

but I haven't been brave enough to find out if it is in ruins or if the ostentatious and unnecessary furnishings were auctioned off on eBay to the highest bidder. It's kind of cathartic to think about these places just abandoned and rotting away, even though I know that the mainstream modern mental health care industry is no walk in the park either.

This isn't sad but it fits the mood of this forum perfectly

This is a cover of the Steve Winwood song, but if you haven't heard Warren Zevon's version, you should. The original is perky and upbeat, but the cover is George telling Lenny about the rabbits as they head off into the woods. Not sure if I've earned permissions for the video to embed or not.
Apparently not. It's "Back in the High Life Again" by Warren Zevon (cover). Apologies if I overstepped in posting the link.
