These are sad songs but listening to repeatedly could make you feel depressed.

Why do artists write depressing music? Usually it's to express what they feel, real human emotions. People who are already depressed may find some release in listening to music that expresses their feelings.

Unhappy artists write unhappy music. Example, Shostakovich's rarely performed second violin concerto:

If you aren't depressed then it's sure to bore you or even seem really annoying.

I don't find Mum depressing. Just very weird and creepy.

"Heartattack in a Layby" by Porcupine Tree.

Those counter-melodies at the end... wow.
The whole song's a work of genius. Steven Wilson's got a few
