I've just received some upsetting news from a family member. I'm feeling big feelings. Can anyone recommend me some music to have on while I'm sitting with these?

Currently I have these songs on my playlist, so any recommendations in a similar vibe would really help:

Tori Amos - Black-Dove (January)
Porcupine Tree - Collapse the Light Into Earth
Eluvium - Copia
Nine Inch Nails - Your Touch
Porcupine Tree - Heartattack in a Lay-by
Nine Inch Nails - Hope We Can Again

ONE OK ROCK - Be the light

Japanese band, but the song is 100% in English. There are versions of this video available with subtitles in other languages, including Japanese, but the one I linked has English subtitles. AFAIK there isn't a base, "no subtitles" version (though there should be, so others can make their own subtitles).

They wrote the song for the nuclear power plant disaster in Japan, but they wrote it so it could be enjoyed and its message received by anyone suffering from any kind of tragedy, of any size.

The song's message is simply, no matter what the darkness is, be the light (for others). The last part of the song, which is spoken, goes, "Some days just pass by, and some days are unforgettable. We can't choose the reason why. But we can choose what to do from the day after. So with that hope... with that... determination... let's make tomorrow... a brighter, and better day."
