Umm, I don't think any of the foreign (English, American) music can make me truly cry or feel sad/depressed...
All the most depressive and melancholic (but not necessarily in a bad way) tracks are made by Latvians or Russians. In the times of Soviet Union or around that time.
(Yes, I'm mentioning the union way too often when I talk, don't kill me, it's just the fact that for my whole life that stuff has been all around me, the influence it still here despite the fact that that time ended like over 30 years ago...)
So those are some of the tracks by Latvian compositor Imants Kalniņš, that stuff my mum plays in the car way too often, till I can't handle all the melancholy anymore.
Also, Viktor Tsoi, it's a whole separate story, his band "Kino" and some of the songs. See, whenever I even think of him, I just can't get rid of the thought how tragic his death was, see, he died in my country, Latvia, he fell asleep behind the wheel and died in a car crash here.
Two songs are the first to come to my mind "Пачка сигарет" and "Электричка", mostly all the melancholy here is in the lyrics, that combined with his tragic death are almost unbearably depressing sometimes.
I'll add a video of one of the most melancholic songs by Imants Kalniņš. If anyone is interested I can recommend more of his works.
