There’s just something that resonates within when they sing the bridge:

“I need a heart that carries on through the pain
when the walls start collapsing again.
Give me a soul that never ceases to follow
Despite the infection within.”

When I'm feeling sad, I listen to some just plain sad music first, and then some to give me perspective. Then again, I listen to sad music fairly often anyway. A lot of my music is somewhat melancholy sounding; I have a joke with a friend about having to comb through my collection to find something upbeat!

Also, for me it kind of depends if a song for sadness is a song which gives me a biblical perspective or one which is just sad and kind of commiserates with me. I'll pick one of each: "On Fire" by Switchfoot and "Into Dust" by Mazzy Star. There are so many songs to choose from.
