Well for country western sad songs, you can play them backwards and you get your dog back, your truck back, your wife back, your job back, the local bar reopens, ...
"One Less Bell"

and just for something different, "Love Don't Live Here Anymore", later covered by Madonna:

and one of the bazillion versions of "And I Miss You".
A bit of trivia, the guy and the girl in the video are actually in adjacent rooms.

A Mad World always gets me in a blue mood. It's one of those songs that just get stuck on repeat loop in one's head, for days, weeks and months. I had to really distract myself with other parts of life to shake its hold at one point. I think that is the best way to get one's mind off of bad songs or thoughts or sentiments, to simply do something else!

Dancing in the sky
It was brought to my attention by a friend who's sister recently died of lung cancer. She had had a troubled life with a lot of pain, and died too young.
