Mildly depressing but still mellow songs

I need to make a playlist songs that are relaxing but mildly depressing like these:

Music from any decade is fine, but no rap please.

Everytime was my second video I meant to post, but I fucked up by using [/img] instead of [/youtube] at the end. My Immortal is more than mildly depressing, I can't relax to that one, but thanks for replying.

Thanks everyone, I will listen to all of these, and if anyone has more to contribute please share.

What track would you say most fits the theme? I don't really want multiple songs by the same artist in my playlist.

praying for time and cowboys and angels from George Michael. Ah, the whole Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 album is full of melancholic songs.
