Unlike my usual habit of uploading videos with pithy little poetic write-ups, I'm going to simply lay down tons of links to melancholy music which accompanies the mood of this drawing. I went through a few of these while doodling it and I thought it might be nice just to share some music along with the upload.
Have at it, boys and girls.
Perdon By Pedro Aznar.
Rebel Waltz by the Clash. (there doesn't appear to be a version of this song on youtube. check it out on spotify.)
Hong Kong by The Gorillaz.
Retrovertigo by Mr.Bungle.
River of Deceit by Mad Season.
Love Dog by TV on the Radio.
Candy Says by the Velvet Underground.

Thank you for reminding me of that addicting drug called melancholy, Rebel Waltz is my personal favorite on that list.
As a conoussier of melancholy, I got some recommendations myself.
A Black Eye To Be Proud Of by Pinetop Seven
Amsterdam by The Lofty Pillars
Dust of Ages by Eels
Invisible Hands by Joseph Arthur
Sad Pony Gorrilla Girl by Xiu Xiu
And that's just music I found from the aughts.

The standout star to me in that is Dust of Ages. But overall I detect a sort of Tom Waits/Leonard Cohen vibe and influence, and maybe one other group or artist I can't think of right now. o w o
Of course now I have to pull out the big guns.
The Recluse By Cursive.
Sensuelle et sans suite By Serge Gainsbourg
From Plural to Singular By Porn Sword Tobacco
Car By Built To Spill
Spaceship By Sean Lennon
British Columbia By The Elected.
And this goofy ass number that I somehow still like.
The 90's really was the best decade for feeling sorry for yourself.

The Recluse is an easy winner here, although it's always nice to hear Serge Gainsbourg.
Dust of Ages is wonderful, however give that Pinetop Seven album a listen sometime. That song in particular keeps growing on me, right now its something like my favorite song of the 2000s decade (although there are some compositions I like more).
Anyways, sorry to spam more songs, but here are my big guns.
Lord Kill the Pain by Red House Painters
The State I Am In by Belle & Sebastian
Save Me by Aimee Mann
And the biggest gun of all..
Medication by Damien Jurado
And beyond that, the whole album Get Lost by The Magnetic Fields is great. I can't even choose the best melancholic song on it, but if I had to try...
Smoke and Mirrors
Good call on Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen, they are phenomenal musicians.
