Crossword Genius

Feeling low, listening to CD after midnight (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disconsolate

'feeling low' is the definition.
'disconsolate' can be an answer for 'low' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'feeling' bit.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for disconsolate that I've seen before include "Deeply sad" , "Unhappy and unable to be comforted" , "Sad; beyond comfort" , "Unhappy and impossible to comfort" , "Very sad or disappointed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
