In search of greatness

[godevit]

Ye,well,Can you escapist people introduce me to some real melancholic music?
I might sound like a idiot and I'm aware of that but i mean depressing music it doesn't really matter what "genre" as long as it is truly sad.

Why are you looking for depressing music?

Anyway, check out some Evanescence songs, like Breathe no More or Missing or just about any song from them.

try the dresden dolls buddy

 

[Michael826]

Anything by HIM. Seriously.

 

[Pegghead]

This one's always good.

EDIT: Truly sad, shit. Over here melancholy means more like...neutral, kind of happy while kind of sad.

Well I don't see why you'd want depressing music, but this little number made me cry the first time I heard it.


And I'm going to leave the other song there, because sad or not it's a great song.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

Radiohead and UNKLE are really good for that.

Angels and Airwaves they use a lot of sound effects and sound pretty depressed in all the songs for absolutely no reason...So many broken hearts you think you would of learned your lesson after the first song you wrote

 

[Offworlder_v1legacy]

Radiohead mostly have depressing songs, also try Joy Division.

 

[Generator]

Needle in the Hay's a pretty depressing song. Especially in that scene in the Royal Tenenbaums.

[Tallim]

Silent Hill soundtracks would probably hit the button. Especially Room Of Angel that is really dark and depressing.

 

[Lust]

How about some Portishead.

 

[octafish]

Spoiler: The Pogues

Spoiler: Mark Lanegan

and the king himself

Spoiler: Leonard Cohen

 

[The Shade]

Without a doubt, the most mournful, most pained, and most anguished piece of music I have ever heard:
Lisa Gerrard's "The Host of Seraphim"

Spoiler

A dirge worthy for the death of a planet.

 

[octafish]

Adding some more by Lady Day

Spoiler: Gloomy Sunday

Spoiler: Strange Fruit

 

[The Geek Lord]

On an unrelated note, is it just me, or is YouTube not working?

 

[Velvo]

Try some Bright Eyes. Some of it is pretty cheerful, some of it horribly depressing.
