Prince did a great version of that Eric Clapton solo.

Feels appropriate for this thread…little history lesson of a song that fits this category…

There's literally a song called "The Suicide Song" that was released in the pre-WWII (more Great Depression timeline I think) era in Hungary AKA the Hungarian Suicide Song called "Gloomy Sunday". If you google the original it's in Hungarian so you likely won't understand it but there's been English translations you can find…

Apparently the number of suicides that were related to this song became so much reported the song was banned on the radio at a certain point…and the original writer of it died of suicide some time later….

But if you go listen to it now (like I did) you'll likely think the same thing as I, "Really? This song did that? Pretty lame if you ask me…." But that was almost 100 years ago and during the Great Depression, so….different times different mindset….

Tuesday's Gone by lynyrd skynyrd puts me in a weird funk or melancholy state. Don't know how to describe it or why it does.

Love the song and when I go to listen to it I'm just kinda down afterwards.

Can't think of any other songs that really affect me like that.

Don Henly's Boys of Summer does that to me. It's one of my favorite songs, but it fills me with this bittersweet sense of yearning for something that's gone and never coming back. Just the first few chords are enough.

That makes me feel better. Can definitely see some nostalgia kicking in with boys of summer. Simpler times.

Boys of Summer and about a million other songs from my high school days make me happy and sad at the same time. Thinking about the good old days when young, innocent, not a care in the world makes you happy and then sad that it is all gone.

Sunset Grill does that to me.
