Depressing Scales and Chords

[Vaiworship]

In light fo my mood right now i was wondering what are some good dpressing chords and scales cau ei am in the mood to write a song bout stuff thats going on but basic power chords and such just won't cut it.

A-(add9) thats a sad chord

I think the 9th's...minors...and diminished chords/scales are sad/depressing. 7th's, major and arpeggios are kinda happy type things.

[Giant Steps]

This m9 chord:

------0-
-----3--
----0---
---4----

This m11 arpeggio:

-----------10t12p10-----------
---------8------------8---------
