Music to soothe the lost soul

My aunt passed away yesterday in Oregon.
We were never really close (my mom was never even really close to her sister), and her death ended a painful bout with brain cancer.
Her death left me sad, confused and missing the west coast portion of my family.
I went on a long walk on the snow-and-ice-covered sidewalks while listening to Pink Floyd's "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn."
Syd Barrett's confusion, there for everybody to hear on the album, seemed to sum up how I was feeling at the time. I felt a little lost in an alien environment.
It's odd how some music can so completely mirror human moods, even when those moods hint at a mental collapse.
