Gavin what's his face does a good version of Wild Horses and Love Will Tear US Apart, but I've never found a decent recording on the Internet. I've only seen it live.

Haven't heard of some of these, but definitely a good call on the Brick by Ben Folds and the pink floyd

It was an AI suggestion.

Frankly, there are better Ben Folds songs, but I mainly only listen to stuff without words.

Here's a mix of 20 of some I have in some playlists. Some you've likely never heard, others you surely have. All have vocals, no instrumentals.

My sense of the song
Gary Jules - Mad World disappointed somber
Collective Soul - The World I Know disappointed somber
White Lion - When The Children Cry disappointed somber
Dog's Eye View - Umbrella regretful somber
Stone Sour - Bother regretful somber
Earshot - Should've Been There regretful somber
Wintersleep - Orca angry somber
Yellowcard - One Year, Six Months upbeat somber
Verve Pipe - Freshmen reminiscent somber
onelinedrawing - Aeroplanes reminiscent somber
Time Spent Driving - Leaving decisive somber
The Juliana Theory - Goodnight Starlight content somber
The Juliana Theory - Piano Song hopeful somber
The Juliana Theory - You Always Say Goodnight, Goodnight hopeful somber
Finch - Perfection Through Silence (Acoustic) hopeful somber
Queensryche - Silent Lucidity hopeful somber
Naked Spatula Monkeys - Beyond The Grey hopeful somber
Elbow - One Day Like This (orchestral or not) hopeful somber
Elbow - Starlings (orchestral) hopeful somber
Extreme - More Than Words hopeful somber

(EDIT: If you want to hear some of these but can't find them, let me know in PM so I can link an mp3 for you.)

Something from the band Jawbreaker. They're considered pop-punk but I've always found them to have a somber overall feel.
