Songs that evoke Desperation

The composer of my twilight fest entry may not have enough time to squeeze in my film. Paying projects have taken priority, and I don't blame him.

That being said, he's asked me to come up with some songs that provide the tone and feeling I'm going for in each scene. This will provide him a template that he can more readily create from. If the scenes were from an action montage or a love story - many many songs come to mind.

But if the tone or theme of the music is DESPERATION, what songs come to mind? In my mind I have an idea of how the music is played out to establish a mood, but I'm having difficulty picking songs to emulate.

Any ideas?

Breathe Me by Sia
Lost Cause by Beck
Foolish Games by Jewel
Hurt by Johnny Cash
 
My parents moved to a small town just as I was entering high school... and I felt like my options for friends, a girl friend, and everything else totally dried up... and ever since then the song "life in a northern town" makes me super depressed. It makes me want to get on a plane to anywhere...
