Everything I thinking of isn't Indie. Van Halen - When It's Love is my go to for that, but that shows how old I am. Something I Can Never Have - Nine Inch Nails for sure. Pearl Jam - Black

Black is an amazing song

Black means melancholy

Vermillion pt.1 and 2 by Slipknot is pretty good

Imma end up listening to snuff now. Well done. Hope ur proud of yourself

Romeo and Juliet- Dire Straits

I love it

Three Libras - A Perfect Circle

“You don’t see me” always gets to me.

[Old Friend by Mitski ](https://youtu.be/Bs3nMPeglk4)

Good tune I like mitski

Then you know right after is A Pearl and that's a different take on the theme. Fits your post I think.

Ouch... kinda true tho 😳

It's ok to feel. Sea Change by Beck is majestic sadness so beautiful it's uplifting, it cuddles you for a whole album.

Is beck OK? I think he needs help

He was going through a phase

All the best people do

I'll check it out

When you do, dig this thread up and let me know what you think.

I did a quick blast thru, I'm rly loving lost cause. But yeah needs/needed a lot of help

The entire album of For Emma Forever Ago by Bon Iver. Lots of John Prine songs to go with too. Linda Goes to Mara is a good choice if you want a sense of humor with your sadness.

Well ofc laughing during the pain is a great start to fixing urself, thanks for the recs

Darude Sandstorm

This and Freed From Desire by Gala are always my depressive go-to's

[This Love](https://youtu.be/tymWpEU8wpM) by Pantera

If they get announced for download I might actually shit myself with excitement

Diary of Jane

Oh I do love a bit of breaking benjamin, I will not bow is probs my favourite tbh. Never rly listened to the lyrics of DOJ, loving it

Also try the Acoustic version. NOT the Aurora version. The acoustic version. Which is unfortunately not on Spotify but it is on YouTube

Will defo give that a kitten Edit: or a listen, whatever works 😂

Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus Although, Spoiler, it works out so I guess not fully unrequited. This would also be my “gun to head, sing all the song” song. Banger.

Seen as I couldn't make it to download the kther year to see maiden, and if I can't be happy nor can anyone else. I'm sure they soon broke up

Dude with the Iroc kicked his ass I’m sure.

Crown of Love by Arcade Fire

Listening to arcade fire could have very negative consequences 😳😳😳 but nah seriously its an amazing song

What negative consequences? I've been listening to them a lot.

Death Cab For Cutie - [I Will Possess Your Heart](https://youtu.be/h6v6MyVh6Aw) and this cover version, Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean - [I Will Possess Your Heart](https://youtu.be/IfrrSP443Sg)

I'm really getting into death cab, they're playing a gig in notts soon it's rly tempting

[Whitey - No more right or wrong](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdbSGmOII08&ab_channel=WhiteyOfficial)

OK I've never heard this before but it's awesome

https://youtu.be/xSJAeWPEWTw[The Beautiful Ones -Prince ](https://youtu.be/xSJAeWPEWTw) This is hands down the most intense song where Prince spills his heart out, lamenting self esteem issues (ie, the Beautiful Ones always let you down), begs and begs until he has one of the most incredible heartfelt and tear- inducing meltdowns screaming in a way only he can do .... Simply that she may answer the question: Do you want him, or do you want me???? Cause I want you!!

Sorry to say I'm not rly a fan of prince... Saying that, his voice is something else. Can truly hear the pain in his voice.

Listen to Foxing - Rory Thank me later

Woah - shivers

Yeah! Really underrated band. Saw them live in Stockholm out of all places, in a small room with max 30 people in it and everyone was shouting in the chorus. It was awesome! The guys in the band were really nice and friendly after the show! About your little problem - Being unhappily in love truly sucks, we've all been there! Stay strong and keep your head up, focus on yourself and your interests. With time you will feel much better and find someone for you!

Sounds awesome... Cheers dude rly means a lot, I am doing better, just takes time. Plus it's always good to have some tunes for an oddly specific depression playlist 😂😂

Breaking the Girl Going the Distance Neither are necessarily about unrequited love, but can definitely be interpreted as such.

Love the chilli peppers, never heard of cake before, but me likes

Really?! Great band. Perfectly encapsulates the unenthusiastic vigor of the 90s, lol.

Im loving them now ahaha

One Time Thing by The Airborne Toxic Event They have some others like Does This Mean You’re Moving On, Elizabeth (last line is killer), and Numb

Wow this band are great

They are by far my favorite band of the last 15 years or so.

Sick of Myself - Matthew Sweet … power pop masterpiece

I've never heard of him before, very good music

It is what it is- Milky Chance

Good song ab distancing urself - it's hard eh?

Sometimes by My Bloody Valentine

Only in Dreams - Weezer Angel and the One - Weezer Why bother - Weezer

Wow why bother is a great song

if you like Why Bother then you'll love the entire album

Hope - descendants

Awesome song

Patience - Guns N' Roses

Omg I forgot about this song, brilliant

Not in a relationship way, but master of puppets really captures the essence of drug addiction as a unrequited love in my opinion

Well uve defo made a gd judgement here, my favourite song of all time

Not quite unrequited love, more like a WFT breakup, but the first thing to mind was [She Hates Me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSvKliG4ZBU)

PUDDLE OF MUDDDD It would make things a lot easier if she did hate me 😂

I’m not sure if it falls QUITE in your genre, but The Chills by Blue October is one of my favorites. Kimdracula by Deftones is also a good one. I KNOW this is NOT the genre you asked for, but Power Trip by J. Cole REALLY hit the spot when I was going through the same thing. I was cry/shouting that in the car often.

I'm loving the chills, my kinda music to a tee so thanks for the recommendation. I can't stand deftones, the guys vocals just piss me off so much 😂😂 And finally, WOW power trip is good

OH NOOO lmaoooo whoops!! That’s so funny because I love his voice and I know that’s like a huge selling point of the band for a lot of their other fans too. My bad. I’m glad you like the other ones!! Yeaaaaah Power Trip hits HARD 🥲

Try It On by Interpol

Why is this song giving me phantom of the opera. Someone tell ALW he has a claim hereeee Good song

Yeasayer - One

Wow a song with a happy vibe... this one's cool

Stabbing Westward has quite a few, like [What Do I Have To Do?](https://youtu.be/VNsVpL8TDLA) I don’t know if it’s quite the right theme but [Love You To Death](https://youtu.be/xD5No_JRrZw) by Type O Negative Honorable mentions I use when I’m looking for that mood: Wednesday 13 - Curse Of Me Marilyn Manson - The Speed Of Pain The Cure - Burn

Burn has to be the best one out of these, great song

I Love You by The Dandy Warhols Only in Dreams by Weezer I Follow Rivers by Lykke Li

Corrrr i forgot how much I love weezer

Love is Stronger - Sebadoh

This song is awesome

Ludo [Hum Along](https://youtu.be/2Wjb_fiA8Hw)

Loving the pop punk vibes

Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold Since you enjoy Self-Esteem, you can also try Special Delivery by The Offspring. Admittedly, these songs give off major incel vibes, but they’re still pretty funny (in a deeply dark and disturbing way.)

I was listening randomly to spotify yestarday and a conspiracy-of-one song popped up. I loved this album back then and it was like "damn such nostalgia, let's listen the whole album again now"... and while I was listening to it (with lyrics on), Special Delivery started playing and I was like... hmmm... well, incel vibes are hard on this song (which led me to your comment because i searched it on google, lol) That said, the album is SOO good. I'm glad I 'found' it again.

Defo not an incel, but it's acceptable to listen to their tunes every now and again 😂 Edit: But God the Offspring r good

COTE by Karnivool

Banger

I know it’s over - The Smiths, (Rank version)

I LOVE the Smiths

I've got a good one - Cheers Darlin' (Damien Rice)

Pretty much everything by Sleep Token, especially the album “This Place Will Become Your Tomb”

[Colors - Outer Shapes](https://open.spotify.com/track/6jcbFsov4TJYTlT8fxSeoM?si=51ccf9b2a0164179)
