...Geddit?
An ending - Brian Eno.
The Rasmus - Funeral Song
It kinda bores me
Sunny Day Real Estate - Pillars really doesn't seem so sad to me. Sunny Day is awesome, btw.
If you want to listen to a really, really sad song I suggest My Dying Bride - For My Fallen Angel. A handful of people I know, and myself, all cried the first time we heard it.
Anathema - Barriers also has a saddening effect on me, as do most their songs, but I love Anathema too much to stop listening even if it does make me sad. ;D
Originality is good, kids.
Depressing music. <3
Janus' (these guys have been my favourite band for a very long time, they're definately worth checking out) newest album Nachtmahr would be a very good pick. Very sad piano driven symphonic music. Though all of their albums are really depressing, particulary songs like Du siehst aus wie immer and Kinderkreuzzug. If you have a more open mind, I'd suggest checking out their album Schlafende Hunde, as it's one of the greatest albums ever created. The thing's I've linked to here are a bit more accessible.

You wouldn't go wrong with some Lacrimosa either. I'd recommend the albums Elodia and Stille. Some songs are a bit more upbeat, but try out Ich verlasse heut' dein Herz or Der erste Tag.
Also, metal can sound really depressing too. Bands like Slumber and Forest Stream are great if you do not mind death metal vocals.
This is probably less easy to get one's hands on, but the Korean band Oathean's instrumental folk tracks are very depressing aswell. The track A painful Reminiscence in Notion is possibly one of the most depressing songs I've ever heard, but the track Road to... is probably easier to find and very beautiful aswell.
The band Angizia probably make the most insane music you'll ever come across, but some of it is really melancholic, especially some tracks on their latest album Ein Toter fährt gern Ringelspiel. Sample 1 Sample 2
I have lots more, but I doubt anyone will actually read this, so I'll settle here.
EDIT: Speaking of My Dying Bride, a Lebanese Melodic Doom/Death band recently released their debut album. Listen to three tracks here: Link (though the song that starts playing as you enter the site isn't particulary depressing in the beginning, so click another song title)
I would say Opeth's Damnation album is pretty depressing, at least to me. It has a beautiful acoustic in the background, with a dark and somber overtone reinforced by the lead singer's voice. This album is really different from the rest of their cd's, with this one the vocalist has a clear voice. A must for depressing times imo.
"Concrete Angel"
I'm not sure who its from, but I've heard It's twice before.It's A very sad and depressing song.It's very piopular tho I've never heard it on the radio.
Heaven Knows I'm Misserable Now - The Smiths
Or anything by Joy Division, you'll be saddened and amazed at the same time.
It's asian but... Guang Liang - Tong Hua.

Originality is good, kids.

Ebony Ark - Ball and Chain, Within Temptation - Another Day, and Lacuna Coil - Cold. That's all I can think of for now.
