    What kind of music would you recommend for that kind of story? Music is my inspiration, but I don't know what to listen to. Can anyone help me?

    Hm... Dave Matthews has a few good ones (especially since his sister and brother-in-law were killed...)

    Gravedigger, Bartender, Some Devil, Minarets - just to name a few

    Half the people know I'm going to say Apocalyptica... so... I'm going to say "Apocalyptica" ... 'Farewell', or 'Faraway' would be my recommendations. There's a couple good clips on youtube.

    Roch Voisine - "A Sad Song Doesn't Care Whose Heart It Breaks".... or something like that... can't recall the exact title.... even his "With These Eyes" is good. It's a 1990 something CD, so I'm not sure what's on youtube.

    i say go with older jazz, the kind that is always in black and white movies and has a trumpet that just somehow speaks of loss like nina simones voice. jeff buckley. meditation from thais or any romantic era classical music.

    depends what you're writing about in my opinion. dry your eyes mate by the streets is amazing [his girlfriend is breaking up with him and you can picture it so well] you can let go [dunno who, it's country though] 10,000 miles, winter [Joshua... something i think] i can't think of many right now. i listen to folk whenever i wanna feel sad

    At The First Fall Of Snow by the late Hank Williams.
    It's an old song, recorded way back in the fifties but I can guarantee it will have you in tears, maybe even as you listen to the lyrics.
