What are some of the most depressing song you know, the ones that just kill a bit of you each time you hear them. Songs like "Tears in Heaven" and 99% of the songs by The Cure.

Staind's "Outside." And 99% of the songs by Staind too.

Also Pearl Jam- Last Kiss.

Also Pearl Jam- Last Kiss.

though the original is better.

the most depressing song, without it even meaning to be, that i have ever heard is it wasnt me by shaggy. it bothers me to no end. 1.) i hate shaggy's music style; 2.) i hate his damn voice; and 3.) it talks about cheating like its a walk in the park.

"Mad world"- i hated that song, but it got to christmas number one...

good charlote's new album is one big depreeing lump of a album

Exit Music by Radiohead.

A fantastic, yet utterly depressing song.

Exit Music by Radiohead.

A fantastic, yet utterly depressing song.

That's is quite depressing, but still fantastic. Also Severed Lips by Dinosaur Jr. though it has one of the best lyrics ever "I never knew a rubber doll could be so hard to please," classic stuff

Most of Pink Floyd's work, especially anything off Dark Side of the Moon or The Wall. Comfortably Numb and Wish You Were Here are especially brilliant, yet utterly depressing works that really strike home their melancholy ideas of loneliness and isolation...

Richard Marx's Hazard is another song that really makes you totally down in the dumps.

though the original is better.


agreein'. Both ones are sad.

Mad World by Gary Jules always instantly makes me melancholy, but I love it.

And Obstacle 1 by Interpol is another one of those melancholy songs that I just can't help but listen to.

And I guess Landslide by Stevie Nicks is sort of similar, but not really that depressing. That cover by Dixie Chicks or whoever was absolutely terrible and a disgrace to Stevie Nicks >:O

Damien Rice - Delicate
Damien Rice - Volcano
Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter
Damien Rice - Cannonball
Damien Rice - Older Chests
Damien Rice - Amie
Damien Rice - Cheers Darlin'
Damien Rice - Cold Water
Damien Rice - I Remember
Damien Rice - Eskimo

Well I hate the band but I would have to say simple plan, because their past like 9/10 singles have been whiny teen anthems about no one caring and that we should all go and kill ourselves our something. whatever its crap but alot of people listen to it

Ive gotta say:

Good charlotte - Hold on

It gets extrememly depressing when the people start talking about friends and friends and relatives who have commited suicide!! theres just no need for the song at all IMO!

I agree!

The video is so depressing! I mean why do they get people to say that stuff? For effect? It's just plain wrong!!

Definatley the most depressing thing i've ever watched!!

Send in the Clowns
Most song's by Chevelle
Incubus - I Miss You
Bone Thugs 'n Harmony- Crossroads
What a Beautiful World- Rage Against the Machine
Radiohead- Creep
Insane Clown Posse - Suicide Hotline
Twiztid - Im allright
Silverchair - Annas Song (open fire)
Goo Goo Dolls- Iris
And

I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing- Aerosmith

Ive gotta say:

Good charlotte - Hold on

It gets extrememly depressing when the people start talking about friends and friends and relatives who have commited suicide!! theres just no need for the song at all IMO!

yeah that is quite depressing, why the hell do they have to have a old man crying about his daughters suicide in a music vid?? but its still one of Good Charlotte's best songs (in my book)

yes, this song is quite depressing. talking about dead relatives.

sad things.

Two more thourghouly depressing pieces of music I've just remembered:

The Rightous Brothers - Unchained Melody (I keep thinking of that scene from Ghost everytime I hear it)

Dolce Triade - Lost Friend (from the Last Exile OST - I know it's an anime soundtrack, but if you've seen the scene this piece is used in, you'll understand just how saddening this piece really is.. *sniff*)

The Chalet Lines by Belle & Sebastian. =/

Mariah Carey Without you.

Ben Folds Five's Evaporated gets pretty depressing, if only because it hits a bit close to home.

It's usually the song I put on loop when all is not right with the world!

The Game- Dreams

Angel's Son and X-mas day by SevenDust
Then Gone Away-OffSpring

Richard Ashcroft - A Song For The Lover
and number one most depressing song goes to....
(Drum Roll)....


Rockwell - Knife

this song is just too depressing sob sob sob

wow you're really, really bad ass

OK!!! I'm sorry, I won't revived anymore old threads :(

why do people bring back 2 yr old threads?

Also Pearl Jam- Last Kiss.

I cried the first time I heard this song.

Seriously :(

I still turn the radio off when it comes on.

I don't really find any other songs that depressing, but Into the West from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is very bittersweet.

Gravenhurst - Animals is pretty much the most depressing song I know. Seriously, read the lyrics. (http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=3530822107858559828) Jesus.
The entirety of Nico's album The Marble Index, especially Frozen Warnings.
The Smiths - I Know It's Over (yeah, I know)
amongst others.

Then there's such as Leonard Cohen, Joy Division et al which isn't depressing per se but certainly is very downbeat.

The song that came on the gears of wars commercial, main reason why I wont buy that game.

why do people bring back 2 yr old threads?

:sad:

everything by xiu xiu, ever.

i dont get it really, i like some xiu xiu songs, he is evidently extremely talented but its completely self indulgent, its only not-emo by virtue of the fact that he is a bit edgier and apparently quite fucked up. but still. emo :(

(i changed my mind lols)

Muse - Hyper Chondriac Music

but if you listen to Hyper Music then thats a different story

Looking Back on Today--The Ataris

I'm going to see Muse open for MCR in two weeks, Reevo. I'm kinda bumming since the last two times I saw them they had a great opener (Say Anything...) and an alltime co-headliner (Green Day). But I'm sure you don't like MCR, so it all evens out :-P

Surprisingly i do like MCR and ive actually seen them live as headliners at wolverhampton in England

Ive seen muse 3 times but i can't go to the Wembley gig which sucks, ahh well ill have to wait for the new album until i see them live again.

Thats a Neil Young song right? I have no idea what it is, but it just sounds like him.

I think Smarties is talking about Mad World from the Donnie Darko sountrack. Gary Jules does it.

oh. I think Ill download it. I liked the sound of it from what I can remember.

Aimee Mann - Wise Up. Insanely depressing song. I've walked home in the rain listening to this and that was under dramatic.

Anything made by Evanescence. I fucking hate that poser-emo band. I hope Amy Lee dies in the most horrific crash ever in Human history.....Sorry...had a bad day.

Well there's no need to take it out on poor Amy Lee, mr. meanboat!

Brunnen verzeihen mir f�r das Sagen dieses aber� Bumsen, das dummer Cunt und alles sie �berhaupt produziert hat! , Aber das ist meine Meinung traurig.

Anything made by Evanescence. I fucking hate that poser-emo band. I hope Amy Lee dies in the most horrific crash ever in Human history.....Sorry...had a bad day.

well, sorry to all you Evanescence fans but i really REALLY hate Evanescence and i wouldn't be so harsh as KnightOfTerra, but I can't see why they became so great. It was that 'Bring me back to life' song and that wasn't even a good song it annoyed me.

I will never change my mind about Evanescence i just think there rubbish.

"Bleed Like Me" ~ Garbage
"Cup Of Coffee" ~ Garbage
"Hoshi No Suna" ~ Gackt
"One Tree Hill" ~ U2
"Sunday Bloody Sunday" ~ U2

And I do Agree Raidenex, "Last Kiss" from Pearl Jam Is pretty darn sad too

Project A-ko - Dance Away
Project A-ko - In Your Eyes
Project A-ko - Follow Your Dreams
Kate Bush - Wow
Laura Branigan - Self Control

I Feel Good - James Brown

well, sorry to all you Evanescence fans but i really REALLY hate Evanescence and i wouldn't be so harsh as KnightOfTerra, but I can't see why they became so great. It was that 'Bring me back to life' song and that wasn't even a good song it annoyed me.

I will never change my mind about Evanescence i just think there rubbish.

LOL! Aren't you just a cute little thang!!? LOL! Just kidding. No, I was harsh for several unmentioned reasons, but I stand by my opinion. That entire band can die a slow and painful death. Her music is the result of what happens when you date a douchebag from another poser-emo band, and then break up. She just basically sings about her pathetic excuse of a dating life in all of her songs, and fucks herself with a rake. I rest my case.

I know that I'm going to be SO hated when I say this...
I am an Evanescence fan. XD

But anyways....

one of my favorite songs, that i must admit is extremely depressing, is Goodbye (I'm Sorry) by Jamestown Story.

the title just says it all, but it's well written. :(

"October" ~ Evanescence Is another sad tune too

I actually liked Evanescence's older material (Origin era) better than anything else they came out with.

Sad songs:

Hurt - Nine Inch Nails/Johnny Cash
One - U2/Johnny Cash

Until I Say So--ALL

Also Pearl Jam- Last Kiss.


oh man, yes. :( great song, though!

There are far too many depressing songs out there, but what comes to mind most is music by people like Sufjan Stevens, Joe Purdy and Sarah Mclaughlan.

Gary Jules' rendition of Mad World is basically suicide on a CD. There's nothing particularly notable about it...it's so utterly morose that it would even have Selphie reaching for a bottle of sleeping pills...

Hey, I didn't say that I didn't like it! ^_^

I dont think its meant to be a depressing song, but Wind of Change by the Scorpions makes me feel sad when I hear it. I like it alot though.

Doctor Wu - Steely Dan
Deacon Blues - Steely Dan
Sometimes - No Doubt
Another Day in Paradise - Phil Collins
Blame It on the Sun - Stevie Wonder
More Than I Can Say - Leo Sayer

Samuel Barber - Adagio For Strings: Op. 11
Actually rated most heartbreaking song of all of 2004.

You can feel your heart rend itself to shreds.

Beat this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvquEnD1YBI)

cancer is depressing

bananaphone song

cancer is depressing

I was starting to think that no one would mention Cancer.

Iris also tends to get me down.

bananaphone song

that it a funny song dont dis bananas or they will kill you and if they dont i will

Songs like "Gollum's Song" from LotR - The Two Towers or the main theme from Battle Angel Alita (Anime) have the same effect as raw onions... At least on me T.T And most songs from the "The Last Samurai" OST *sniff* So sad and beautiful...

First post btw., yay! ^^

immortal technique- dance with the devil

cancer is depressing

I'm going to assume MCR on this one. And I'll second ya, though Disenchanted (Shut Up and Play) is more depressing and a million times better.

The theme to FFX (To Zanarkand) is very depressing.

Also, every song by Opeth. The Drapery Falls by Opeth, I believe, must be the most depressing song in the world.

Oh no wait. There's a more depressing song.
"Honky Tonk Badonka Donk"
When I heard that song, a little bit of me died.. x__x;

true. but mis abuela died of cancer.

Morgenstern by Rammstein, and some others by the same band. Thinking about it, about half of their songs are pretty depressing. And many songs by the Decemberists -- theirs are more depresseing because their melodies are so cheerful.

Dream Theater - Disappear
Opeth - To Bid You Farewell

And the lyrics aren't really depressing, but I think the melody kinda is, but,

The Gathering - Morphia's Waltz

Dream Theater - Disappear
Opeth - To Bid You Farewell

And the lyrics aren't really depressing, but I think the melody kinda is, but,

The Gathering - Morphia's Waltz

Come on dude. Opeth has way more depressing songs. To Rid The Disease kicks TBYF's ass on the darkness scale.

cancer is depressing

so's multiple sclerosis

Jeezuz, have I missed it or has no one mentioned my Dying bride? anything from 2 winters only, to the cry of mankind, or their version of Roads xD
