What’s that one song you play on repeat when you’re immersing yourself in melancholia?

Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton.

Are we still talking melancholia or ugly crying because there’s very fine line between those two.

I had a phase of serious, deep depression where all I listened to was Space Odyssey, because it just had the same air of hopelessness that I was feeling at the time.

Also, Tears in Heaven

Nightswimming by Rem.

The whole album is bathed in a bittersweet hue but this one is perfect for the very specific type of melancholia that occurs in late summer when the nights are drawing in and autumn is on the way.

I think his voice lent itself very well to the melancholic side of the Macs early output, fuelled by an obvious internal struggle with his own mental health.

I also unforgivably left Reflections Of My Life by The Marmalade off the list.

I would say his playing was affecting me more than his voice.

I liked his blues stuff, but not a fan of any form of Fleetwood Mac.

I think I like "Go your own way" from their entire career and that's enough of F.M.

I generally don't do this

However, I was driven into temporary depression once, and played Bowie's "don't let me down & down"

Oh I’m no fan of the Fleetwood Mac that went forward after Peter Green Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan exited.

The original 5 piece were a blues rock band not that awful soft rock middle of the road crap that followed.
