Mark Kozelek has this area pretty well covered. Not his best tune by miles, but fits the bill lyrically.

Good choice. I bought the album from Virgin in Brighton as a morose teenager and it is all relentlessly bleak.

Ironically some of the songs on his posthumous album were pretty upbeat, being fairly clean helped...well, til the suicide anyway.
Blasphemy!
Anyway, if you want depressing, go to Sunn O)))

'Fairly clean'? His biography charts a long descent into a cocktail of drugs, punctuated by occasional attempts to dig himself out of this. The last song on that album, A Distorted Reality is a Necessity to be Free (which is one of the finest around), has the wonderful line: "My momma says stay clean, there's no in between". It was obviously on his mind.

Oh, i don't deny that it was on his mind - i would be surprised if things weren't. He was clean of alcohol and at the time of his death, didn't have any levels of any narcotics in his system, so compared that to the times he could barely make it through his gigs i'd say he was fairly clean

Max Richter - Sarajevo
https://youtu.be/ZTvhR0lEtZM
An orchestral piece inspired by the siege of Sarajevo and two lovers, one a Muslim, the other a Christian. Known as the Romeo and Juliet of Sarajevo, they were gunned down by snipers while trying to flee the city. Their bodies lay intertwined for six days.

I Salute you Christopher (an Ode to Christopher Hitchens) by IMAX
Former Sneaker Pimp Chris Corner had a bit of an obsession with Hitchens work and penned this mournful but beautiful piece. Stunning poetic lyrics too.
...Console yourselves
That a scientific death is better than a fairy tale
Of the eternal life
Control yourselves
Because the man in the sky is a tyrant and a lonely psychopath
Dreamed up to steal your minds...
