Beauty likewise abounds in the rippling rhythms of the bluegrass-inflected "Gentle on My Mind," a 1967 hit written by the freewheeling banjoist John Hartford, and in Mr. Campbell's mournful guitar and anguished vocals on "Galveston," yet another composition of Mr. Webb's to achieve classic status.

And at the center of it is Mr. Harington, who brings the same qualities to his ancestor Catesby as he does to Jon Snow: beautiful hair, soulful eyes and a one-size-fits-all blank expression that serves him for both mournful gazing and impassioned speeches.

After dealing with Mather, he turned his attention to Poe in "Edgar A. Poe: Mournful and Never-ending Remembrance" (1991), Morse in "Lightning Man: The Accursed Life of Samuel F.B. Morse" (2003) and the avant-garde composer Cage in "Begin Again: A Biography of John Cage" (2010).

When you read all the tributes today to the late Merle Haggard, all the mournful praise about what a great songwriter he was, remember that a big part of country music today has no interest in Mr. Haggard's big themes, the rage and sorrow of the working man.

At various moments in Richard Taylor's score (the lyrics are by Mr. Taylor and David Wood, who wrote the book), I was put in mind of Mr. Sondheim's comparably mournful "Passion" and Britten's "Turn of the Screw" — not the usual points of reference among West End musicals these days.

From the Palestinian artist Khalil Rabah's funny but mournful video "Body and Sole" (1995), which is installed at the Dar Si Said Museum and shows the artist eating his own shoes, one gets a sense of desperation and urgency about not being able to find a safe haven.

After the shooting of Trayvon Martin in Florida, Coates reminds us, the initial popular reaction was mournful and respectful — it was only after Obama offered the mildest of identifications with the dead child ("If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon") that negative responses flooded the airways.

Filling out the best picture race are "Arrival," a science-fiction thriller; the cops-and-robbers drama "Hell or High Water"; "Manchester by the Sea," about a mournful New England handyman; the subtitled tear-jerker "Lion"; and "Hacksaw Ridge," Mel Gibson's true story of World War II heroism.

The signature sound of both artists rumbles in there – Blondie's driving drums and bass, Harry's lyrical purr; Hynes' mournful synths – and it makes for an unexpectedly lovely meeting of minds, from which the only real takeaways are that Dev Hynes is a genius and Blondie are probably immortal.
|
|
As if to back up such arguments, the man himself had released a new album, You Want It Darker, which is as sepulchral and indigo-dyed as its title implies, with mournful backup vocals suggesting a monastic chorus and instrumental support as Spartan and austerely furnished as a monk's cell.
|
|
It had been years since Renfro had delivered a performance that caught the public's attention, and at the time, he was treated as yet another addition to the mournful legacy of former child stars — Dana Plato, River Phoenix, Judy Garland — whose lives collapsed from Hollywood darling to death by overdose.

|
But once you fall in step with its solemn pace, the movie, with its soundtrack of traditional folk songs and hymns, capped with a mournful bagpipe elegy, becomes a sustained, moving reflection on the human life cycle at a time when e people were more in tune with the earth.
|
|
Lyrically, the mood is basically melancholy, which in songs like the mournful "Bellarine," the reminiscent "Cappuccino City," the pro-immigrant "Mainland," and my favorite, the love-out-of-reach "Talking Straight" are dark notes I'm inclined to suspect their stauncher fans don't feel, because that would dull their jangle-fix.
|
|
As he was gearing up to release Double Cup, the final full-length album he released while he was alive, people had questions about the content of songs like "Feelin," a mournful revision on the footwork sound that he'd spent the preceding few years shepherding from Chicago to the world.
|
|
But unlike the highly praised efforts of those beatsmiths, most people considered it the band's least important record in years, and unsurprisingly, its long-awaited follow-up from last year, the slow and mournful A Moon Shaped Pool, dispensed with programming entirely, for the first time since their mid 90s work.
|
|
" Standout "Interlude" is a dizzyingly emotional instrumental, featuring rising, almost mournful strings, before leaning into the title track "Nothing Feels Natural", which has Greer so bluntly saying, "This is when I'd give a god a name but to people in sanctuaries all I can say is you will not be saved.
|
|
Reviewing the record on Pitchfork when it was reissued, several years ago, Nate Patrin wrote: As an album, it just gets deeper the longer you live with it, front-to-back listens revealing emotions and moods that get pulled in every direction: mournful nostalgia, absurd comedy, raucous joy, sinister intensity.
|
|
To pair such music with such a singer could have produced cheerful camp, extracting humor from contrast, but in fact the blurred edges of the electronic sound accentuate her ghostliness; she sounds like a disembodied, avenging spirit, forever trapped in a state of extreme, furious, mournful, but somehow etiolated, feeling.
|
|
Macdonald's erasure of The 9-11 Commission Report uses black bars and white space to leave behind a mournful analysis of capitalism, politics, and "errorism," that speaks to how easy it is to shape a new story out of a complex reality—a process that got us from Lower Manhattan to Iraq.
|
|
This collected testimony builds a fuller portrait of the alleged perpetrators, which is why these stories have felt so unignorable, but it has also meant that the conversation has remained largely focused on these men: They stand at the center of each story, while their accusers blur around them into a mournful chorus.
|
|
For example, it was no surprise to see the theater swell to bursting during Panopticon's set—which was itself a deeply emotional affair capped off by a heartfelt, tearful display of gratitude from Austin Lunn—or during rare performances from Krallice, Obsequiae, and Christian Mistress (to say nothing of Mournful Congregation's closing epics).
|
|
The soundtrack also seems arbitrary, jumping from a haunting choral number over the opening shots to the full-ahead charge of Nina Simone's "Sinnerman" over a chase sequence, and from Leonard Cohen's mournful "Song Of The French Partisan" to a strange madrigal-ish keyboard score when Ricky wanders out on his own.
|
|
Richard Wright wrote the mournful poem that would provide the title for Ta-Nehisi Coates's 21980 best-seller, Between the World and Me. The artists who waged the radical political battles of the 20143s emerged in the 22014s as cultural institutions, achieving a prominence—even a celebrity—that has eluded subsequent generations.
|

The Ohio scenes refer to a mournful childhood; Klemperer journeys to East Berlin in search of a long-lost wife; the grand, eccentric women at the academy owe their allegiance to female powers of unreachable antiquity; and the movie signs off with the image of a faded heart, roughly carved into a wall.
|
|
Such posturing rests mainly with the baddies — Emily Bruni's Goneril and Ralph Davis's Edmund, to name but two — and is correspondingly absent from both Anjana Vasan's open-faced Cordelia and the stalwart Saskia Reeves as a female Kent: Lear's companion on a downward trajectory from which few in this eternally mournful play return.
|
|
Sound of Silver from two years later set the controls for the heart of the heart, a self-consciously "classic" album partially inspired by the encroaching spectre of death (including the passing away of Murphy's therapist, which inspired the mournful pulse of "Someone Great") that stands as one of the 2000s' greatest genre-synthesis achievements.
|
|
Yet despite all the calls for unity, the prayers offered and the platitudes voiced, there are few signs yet that any candidate, lawmaker, law enforcement leader, or civil rights campaigner has mustered the trust and respect of voters needed to knit a mournful nation together and freshen the stale national debate on race and violence.

Now, after an action-packed, bloody and surprising season 6 premiere, here are the eight biggest moments: Jon Snow is dead The episode opens with a long panning shot of Snow's now-frozen body and one of the more haunting things about it is the relentless, mournful howls in the background from Snow's Direwolf Ghost.
|
|
To top it all off, vocalist Gregg Higgins' mournful voice sails over the melody with a classic goth quality, and when you toss in the two synth interludes, you've got a record that'd sit perfectly next to King Dude, Queen, and Judas Priest alike, yet still hits the classically evil nerve of modern occult metal.
|
|
With seven tracks ranging in length from long to longer, "Blackstar" — which dropped Friday from Sony Music — is among Bowie's most macabre and ritualistic records, all skittering jazz drums and washes of dark energy, an unsettlingly shifty landscape of outer-space nightmares held together only by the Thin White Duke's pulsing, mournful vibrato itself.

The latest one, a teaser for a Firefly animated series, packs a lot into 40 seconds of animation: A passionate Mal / Inara kiss, a mournful post-Serenity moment with Zoë, Jayne and his giant gun Vera, River Tam kicking ass, and just the briefest hint of what looks like Shepherd Book coming through a door.

In this space, noise artist and Lynchian kindred spirit Alex Zhang Hungtai hypnotically honked on a sax alongside David Lynch's own son; dance producer Hudson Mohawke soundtracked Sky Ferreira scratching at an ungainly rash with gnarled-metal soundscapes; Eddie Vedder could come across as pained and mournful even while wearing a silly-looking hat.

The first movement begins with gently surging, triumphal motifs, passing swiftly between major and minor moods before settling into bustling activity and, suddenly, a mournful tenderness that carries into the start of the second movement: an oscillating pattern in the left hand, familiar in Mr. Glass's music, and a deliberate melody in the right.
|

Last year, the most striking music he released as a solo artist was a collage piece titled "Do You See My Skin Through the Flames?" and "Sandra's Smile," a mournful, slinky ode to Sandra Bland, the twenty-eight-year-old black woman who, after being arrested during a routine traffic stop, died in police custody.
|

Compare the raging final Minneapolis version of "Idiot Wind," an eight-minute song whose every second captivates, to the sullen takes here, which last forever; rather than staying mournful the whole way through, the song needs the energy of a full band so it can make its grand turn from righteous anger to defeated empathy.
|
|
The jeremiad, or mournful lament, was rooted in what's called "covenant theology," whereby settlers saw themselves as bound together in order to establish what the founder of the Massachusetts colony John Winthrop called "a city upon a hill" (a phrase that Ronald Reagan would return to and that glimmers in one part of Trump's speech).
|
|
Then the solos begin: Mr. Richardson in mournful long tones and trills and rapid figures; Mr. Metheny, at length, playing one bravado melodic phrase after another until he becomes rough and loud; Mr. Moran and Mr. Waits briefly carrying out their intuitive communication together, turning the piece in new directions, making it end in a different place.

The vibrating bunks, stacked three to a wall; the mournful synthetic covers of the bunks, torn in places and looking smashed, with the webbed look of smashed things; the racing wheels underneath, like ladders of vertebrae being whipped; the sense of abject stinking wetness surrounding a train's journey through the universe—all these things filled Shockie with futility.
|

The last line of the film is spoken a few moments later, as Louis Armstrong's mournful trumpet starts to wail, and the soldiers can be seen sitting and laughing and talking and gathering flowers by the tree where Mr. Badii lay down in the hope of eternal rest, though now the tree is covered with green leaves.

On Sunday night, fans were hoping for that final, traditional closure when the Oscar ceremony put aside the glitz and unfurled the mournful portion of the evening, screening a video that sifted through the boldface names of cinema who had passed in the last year: Wes Craven (director, writer producer), Saeed Jaffrey (actor), Miroslav Ondricek (cinematographer).

More than any other show on the air, The Americans suggests that bad decisions compound themselves, that lies multiply I'm sure that will deepen and grow more mournful as the season progresses (it always does on this show), but The Americans is really great at finding actors who add new flavors to enhance its overall stew.

"Not live in the present?" for TIME TRAVEL made me think of "Doctor Who," which made me doubly mournful for the lack of "Doctor Who" in the clue for 1A ("Airer of 'Orphan Black' and 'Almost Royal'" for BBC AMERICA), although I do agree that it might have made the clue too easy for a Friday puzzle.

But they have a collective ability to draw our attention to the void behind the broken windows, not only the unilluminated void where windows were broken but also the inhumane void that possessed the murderer's soul, the mournful void that overtook the survivors and the abysmal void beneath our way of life, from which a bewildering violence erupts incessantly.

When Sheriff Truman delivers the news about the murderous Richard Horne to his grandfather Ben — prompting a mournful reverie about Ben's old green Schwinn bicycle, and a lament that Richard grew up without a father — "Twin Peaks" devotees might've recalled for the first time in weeks that there's been one key Horne conspicuously absent this season.
|
|
But no one — not even the delightfully unconstrained Lily, a tiny creature who does a mean air kick — is going to stop the music or dancing in the larkish and mournful love letter to the past that is "946: The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips," directed by Emma Rice for the British company Kneehigh, at St. Ann's Warehouse.

Some of the highlights include Paul Outlaw's "Shine," which will use the station's shoe shine stand to explore issues of race, labor, and BDSM subcultures; Thinh Nguyen's "Don't Take My Love," a mournful vocal performance protesting current US immigration policies; and Jonathan Gómez's "Trance Transit House," a roving sonic installation that fuses the station's ambient soundscape with rave music.
|
|
There's something rather delirious about "Winter Wonderland"—those swaying strings and peppy little brass toots—which feels uplifting when Frank Sinatra is crooning it, but takes on a more mournful tone when you consider the fact that Smith penned the lyrics after seeing Honesdale Central Park covered in snow from the window of West Mountain Sanitarium where he was being treated for tuberculosis.

Trump, who has vowed to rain down "fire and fury" over North Korea and wants to investi in new nuclear weapons programs, is changing the nuclear calculus on the world stage, TIME's W.J. Hennigan writes: The big picture: It's "a provocative shift from the sober, almost mournful restraint that has characterized the U.S. posture toward [nuclear] weapons for decades," per Hennigan.

F. Scott Fitzgerald may not have used the exact term "American dream" in "The Great Gatsby," but Churchwell (who herself wrote a book about that novel) cites Fitzgerald's concluding passage, in which Nick Carraway contemplates how Gatsby's dream receded into "the dark fields of the republic," as a mournful observation of how an expansive vision of "human potential" had degraded into cupidity.

Let's just say rather that they are the unseeing witnesses of his mournful meander through the streets of midtown, significant precisely because of their unconcern with the tenor of his own feelings — feelings of which his writing is "in memory" (as another poem would have it), which is to say that the feelings are, like the man who has occasioned them, definitively in the past.

Instead, the duo of Dana Schechter (rumbling bass; mournful lap steel) and Ashley Spungin (cavernous drums; crackling homemade electronics) turn adversity into triumph, forging a bleak, blasted brand of instrumental ambience that has found an equally happy home with UK-based micro label Lancashire & Somerset (home to the ever-excellent Enablers) as experimental lodestone Utech or the blown-out, art-fucked realm of Sleeping Giant Glossolalia.

Since 1976, he's been lending his mournful cries and doomed riffs to the massively influential likes of Saint Vitus, Spirit Caravan, The Obsessed, Shrinebuilder, The Hidden Hand, and his own solo project, is pretty much universally revered as a doom metal icon, and boasts an astronomical tolerance for the kind of hard living and hard drugs that we all assumed would kill Keith Richards decades ago.

Itself resembling a music video, the story begins in a speeding car and accelerates through shots of the friends aimlessly floating in and out of love (one watches his ex kiss her new girlfriend "as if he's witnessing an eclipse"), interspersed with atmospheric stills of the city ("the misty mournful day is illuminated by the pollution that makes Beijing's light pop, extending the slow orange days").

But for Shaima the objects are a daily reminder of the losses eating away at her: the clock ticking on a wall painted lime green recently in anticipation of a wedding that will never happen; the small metal cups for holy water for a future pilgrimage to Mecca; the simple spatula kept as a mournful souvenir and the many photographs, framed and unframed, of her sons.

Its attempts to be mournful may as a result be diminished, but inasmuch as the events of World War I directly led to World War II, which led to the Cold War, the Afghan War, the Gulf War, the War on Terror and so on, the game's adherence to current genre standards and forms implies that the First World War, despite ending almost a century ago, remains urgently felt today.

Hot off the heels of last year's excellent Foam Island LP, the electronic duo Darkstar have released a new track featuring the singer / songwriter Lorely Rodriguez, aka Empress Of. "Reformer" is a melancholic tune, with Rodriguez achingly singing of elusive love against the backdrop of a sedated bass line and reversed synth tones, which all bring to mind the noir-ish and mournful quality of early 90s trip hop.
|

Last Saturday was the US premiere of Dynasties, which documents lots of the same hypnotic trajectories of animal lives, lifted to a pseudo-Shakespearean height by the narration of Attenborough, whose voice, even at 92, still has a cadence that sounds both mournful and astonished, as if he pulled open the refrigerator, and there it was, a growling lion cub, how did you get in here, my boy?

The name Rose Pastor Stokes may no longer be familiar, but Hochschild found plenty of newspaper clippings in his research, along with thousands of letters, unpublished memoirs, Rose's diary and even reports detailing the surveillance of her by the predecessor of the F.B.I. Unearthing some mournful poetry Rose wrote about her time in the cigar factory, Hochschild corroborates her grim portrait with notes made by a factory inspector.

From the distorted techno of Malkmus's track "Airplane Air," which he envisages as something that might, in the future, be played "on pirate radio in a police state," to the mournful psych-rock strains of Baird's song "1,000 Goodbyes x 100 Hellos," in which she asks, in her words, "whether we can trade our collective environmental, social and economic anxieties for action," listen to the four tracks below.
|
|
Each song slams and thrashes and pounds the beat into oblivion; each raises an indestructible wall of crackle and hiss and barbed wire and rotating blades and sizzling static in your face, all masquerading as guitar playing; each deploys a simple, powerful, mournful melody to lend the project an aura of tragedy, as if all that energy is being wasted swimming against the tide — the tide being sexism, oppression, and so forth.
|
|
She invokes one of the most famous opening lines in American music — Gershwin's "Summertime, and the living is easy" — a cultural script so powerful that, even without music, even as just words on a page, our internal orchestras automatically swell, and we hear the mournful crooning of Billie Holiday or Sam Cooke or Janis Joplin or Billy Stewart or Bradley Nowell of the band Sublime — whichever version you happen to know best.
