Mellow, Melancholy Playlist

[no country for old wainds]

I'm looking for some mellow, depressing and beautiful songs.

To Bid You Farewell is a fine example.

I know it's been done before, and I could find it on a search, but I'm a lazy bastard, so bah.

Please post a 10 song playlist of your favourite melancholy, mellow tracks, preferably by metal bands.

Considering that To Bid You Farewell and Credence are ideal, songs of the same 'ilk' would definitely interest me.

Thanks

I'll post some good mellow songs that may make a good playlist... These aren't really similar to what you listed, but they are definately fitting...

1. Katatonia - I Break
2. Porcupine Tree - Trains
3. Maudlin of the Well - Undine and Underwater Flowers
4. Empyrium - Mourners
5. Vintersorg - Trollbunden
6. Siebenburgen - Ibi Lubavit Lamia
7. Bethlehem - Tagebuch Einer Totgeburt (this song will stick out, but it is supremely depressing and beautiful)
8. Forest of Shadows - Under the Dying Sun
9. Katatonia - Day
10. Maudlin of the Well - Blight of River Systems
11. Agalloch - The Melancholy Spirit
