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
 
i wouldnt cosider it really sad, but rainy day material, Jack Johnson, hes got a few albums out pretty good.
 
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.
 
i second jack johnson.... hes mad chill and has good sad music.... specially the sleep trough the static cd..

Also junior boys.... theyre kinda eletric but sorta moody @ the same time...

last but not least if ur really down finger eleven- one thing best sad song ever!

perk up only three months till the montains open =]
 


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.

Explosions in the Sky

This Will Destroy You

Russian Circles

...Of Sinking Ships

Saxon Shore

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.
