Three records to which I cry

Every so often, I get the blues on Sundays. Don't ask me why. Probably because the weekend is ending, probably because I am often alone in my room.

Here are the albums that I end up putting on. Because they are beautiful, perfect (only because they are imperfect) and utterly tragic:

1. Pink Moon- Nick Drake



And my favorite song off of the album, "Place to Be":



2. Sea Change- Beck



Cheesy/but also kinda cool video for "Lost Cause" off of the album:



3. Either/Or- Elliott Smith



"Between the Bars" is my favorite Elliott Smith song. Disclaimer: This video will make you cry:




What are your three favorite melancholy records?

    Sea change is definitely the soundtrack to my self indulgent melancholic moods.

    Songs: Ohia - Didn't It Rain (though last year it was The Lioness)
    and Bon Iver.

    wait, does Dashboard Confessional count?
