A song in it's own right depressing? Why would music make you feel depressed?

Music is beautiful. Music can be good, bad, indifferent, depending on ones tatse. But why would it invoke a sad or depressed feeling after listening?

Any opinions?
Theres nothing that says music is depressing, nor is there anything that says music is out of key. Everything is a Western Construct, but to remove music from culture is to make music just noise.
