Depressing music.

[SH4DOWSL4Y3R]

Hmmm, are we talking about music that just sounds sad or something that makes you actually depressed?

Well either way I'd say these two:

Nooooooooo, this makes me cry sometimes but i like it so much, Curse you!

I'd say some of the stuff in lost oddysey gets to me sometimes. the stuff from the sad memory sequences can break you down pretty well depending on your mood.
This
Then this
Then the vocal version of the above, which gives me a mix of cheeryness and depressiveness

Some golden sun stuff


ok........... i swear that's it...

Porcupine Tree's album Fear Of A Blank Planet is pretty fucking awesome. It's about how the angry middle-class youth wilfully separate from society, anaesthetise themselves with drugs and are consumed by apathy and cynicity. You might also want to check out the EP Nil Recurring which contains four outtakes that didn't make it to the final Fear Of A Blank Planet album.

Depressing music happens to be some of my favorite stuff.

Pretty much this. Most depressing song on my playlist and gets me to tear up every time.

This song is incredibly sad, but only if you know the story behind it.

The song is about the singers old girlfriend who got pregnant. At first he was scared, but later, "When I saw that heartbeat, I knew it wasn't a sin". Unfortunatly it ended in a miscarriage, and the child died.

Spoiler: And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda

Pretty much this. Most depressing song on my playlist and gets me to tear up every time.

You saved me having to post it. They played this song at my school on Anzac day, and I thought it was just going to be some shitty patriotic crap, but it ended up breaking my heart.

I would also add:

Spoiler: Handlebars- Flobots

Spoiler: Mad World- Gary Jules

Spoiler: Girl With One Eye- Florence + Machine

Spoiler: In My Stomach- Alkaline Trio

Spoiler: The Beginning is the End is the Beginning- Smashing Pumpkins

Aaaaaaaaaaand I ended up getting carried away. Woops.

Given To Fly - Pearl Jam

You find Given to Fly depressing? I always find that song really uplifting. There's someone out to do nothing but good and spread love, and even when he gets attacked for that, "Well fuckers, he still stands". Is there a particular reason why it has the opposite effect for you?

As for my depressing selection it has to be Disintegration and Bloodflowers by The Cure. In particular, The Loudest Sound from the Trilogy show. You can see Robert Smith about to cry and it just kills me.
There's also a few songs on beautifulgarbage by Garbage that are pretty sad, like Drive You Home and Cup of Coffee. But then Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!) is on that album too, so it's hard to be depressed for long.

Soundgarden's last two albums (Superunknown and Down on the Upside) are both very depressing in an intoxicating sort of way that makes you want to keep listening. This song in particular gets to me; it has a sense of quiet resignation and defeat about it that makes it more relevant to me than some of the more over-the-top depressed music does:

 

[Kadoodle]

Space Oddity. That ending always messes with me.

 

[SergeMC]

"I'm all alone, I'm all alone."

 

[Toaster Hunter]

Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber, one of the most depressing pieces of music ever made.

 

[SsilverR]

Got a few in mind

1. Missing (Evanescence)
2. Falling again (Lacuna coil)
3. Moonlight sonata (Beethoven)
4. You (Breaking benjamin)

I used to know alot more but i Don't really listen to that much depressing music anymore

This song really makes you feel there is no hope left and that you can't do anything about your incoming death.

It's pretty badass.

 

[tunderball]

I present The Verve - Drugs Don't Work, try not to cry.
