Melancholy synth leads

I can't find a video of the original version of Drip Dry Eyes by Yukihiro Takahashi where the audio hasn't been muted, this music video is the all-time peak sad and mopey synth moment though imo

Surely OMD's "Enola Gay" belongs on this thread.

Unless it is already here and I missed? Or viewed as too upbeat? Or banned because Ned likes it too much?

"The Fez" - The Dan

"The Fez" is the only Steely Dan song with a third credited writer, Paul Griffin, who also plays organ on the song. On a BBC Online chat March 4, 2000, Donald Fagen said, "The Fez was recorded using a rhythm chart but there were a few bars missing and Paul Griffin, the keyboard player on the day, came up with a nice little melody, so we felt we should include him in the writer credits."

Glad to see Steely Dan making it on here. The guitar at the beginning of Haitian Divorce almost sounds like a melancholy synth too.
