There is a small indie band called Kabir Cafe, whose songs are inspired by a 14th-15th century poet- philosopher called Kabir. Those are some amazing songs to hear to.
Liquor Bottle by Herbal T. Has a nice faux-upbeat rhythm with jazzy kinda beats, but lyrics.are dark. Definitely helps me keep a sane face on the dark days:
And that's why / I keep a
A liquor bottle in the freezer โช
In case I gotta take it out โซ
Mix me a drink
To help me
Forget all the things
In my life that I worry about โช โซ
Wax and Herbal T both nail those faux-upbeat type songs

You just won't lie down. Even closing your eyes, you can't let it go, Surrounded inside. Leave it alone. You don't get it back Undoing the scenes you can't explain, Whatever you dream That you've buried away. It seems like you're there as someone removed And left in their place with nothing to do. Bound to the switch. Railing again at the thought of the fight For well-earned dissent Undeserved at the time. As you've been shown, the motion has gone A shade of the night, only leading you on.

Giving up by Corbin and sodus cementeries

I've got a whole fucking playlist for real sadboy hours on rainy drives home where I want to get lost in the back of my mind and it's like 50% this band.

I'm a big music snob, and I'm in my forties, but Decompression Period by Papa Roach hit me really hard the first time I heard it, and it's always one I go back to. I've never had a bad breakup or anything, but it really captures the feeling for me.
The whole soundtrack (and game) is wonderful, and it develops across the album through to hope. The first few tracks though, they take me back to a point of great sorrow and straight through the stages of grief.
