If you have a deep passion for music and a love for depressing romantic stories, then I encourage you to listen to the album, Broken Bride by Ludo.
This album is one of the most heart wrenching combinations of a story told through a series of songs that I have ever come across. There are only 5 songs total in this album and it will take you roughly 30 minutes to listen to all of them (that is, if you aren't constantly stopping to grab some more tissue).
The love story told through the songs is about a guy who lost the love of his life one morning in May due to a fatal car crash. He ends up building a time machine so he can go back and save her; but every time he goes back she ends up dying anyways/different ways. The time machine ends up malfunctioning during one of his ventures and he crash lands in apocalyptic times. While he is fixing his machine, he sees how chaotic the world has become and how much everyone is suffering. He ends up using his time machine to crash into/vanquish the dragon (aka Lucifer); thereby destroying his ability to get back to his time. Then comes a part where he is communing with the angels and they let him choose one thing as thanks for destroying the dragon. He chooses to go back to the morning in May when his broken bride died in that crash so he can say goodbye to her. Since he knows that no matter what he does she will end up dying anyways, he decides to get into the car with her so they can both die in the crash and go into the afterlife together.
Now I don't know about all of you, but I sincerely believe with some more songs added and a script (that I would be more than happy to have a hand in writing if the band is reading this), this album could be adapted into an extremely successful Broadway Musical. It is truly a modern day Romeo and Juliet and deserves to be heard and recognized by the world for the masterpiece it is.
