Les colocs - Le répondeur
It's in French but it's one of the most perfect songs about depression.

Me too, I thought it was a really funny thing to make up. I find it even funnier that it's an actual thing.

It's done in a semi-traditional Québec style of folk music and I agree, his voice transmits the emotion amazingly.
There is one lyric that I love (the poetry is beautiful in French):
Yesterday I met a poor man
Living in the street with noting at all
He said something I found amusing
Life is short but some parts can be really long
Keeping in the French theme, there is always Ne me quitte pas. My favorite version is by Nina Simon. The last verse is haunting:
Do not leave me
I won't cry anymore
I'm not gonna talk anymore
I will hide there
looking at you
Dance and smile
And listen to you
Sing and then laugh
let me become
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand
The shadow of your dog
But
Do not leave me
Do not leave me
Do not leave me
Do not leave me
