Most Depressing song?

[(---)]

Mypick
+ the rest of the album. So wonderfully depressing in a very comforting way.

And another take on one that's already been posted.

Maybe it's just a personal thing, since this song brings back bad memories of my first relationship, but I simply can't listen to this entire song, no matter how good it is.

Simple, what is the most depressing song you have ever heard?
For me it would be Hurt by Johnny Cash

this, but the original by nine inch nails is still a bit better in my opinion.

there are 2 songs by IAMX that can make me really depressed called 'this will make you love again' and 'i am terrified'.

'my dying bride - the cry of mankind' always does the job. since the death of peter steele a lot of type o negative songs make me tear up, mostly 'love you to death' and 'white slavery'.

Gilbert O'Sullivan - Alone Again, Naturally


The lyrics and melody together make for a very somber moment. I first heard it on some commercial at the turn of the century, advertising some CDs of classic hits from different eras. I've kept an mp3 of it ever since.

The most depressing song is in my opinion this: ...though you may have to know a little of Jimmie Rodgers' history (i.e. that he died of his TB a few years later) in order to fully appreciate it.

I've been trying to find a good version of the piano refrain from Schindler's list, but can't find the version I have on my pc. Regardless I think the harrowing beauty of that piece of music deserves a mention.

 

[Icaruss]

Adigo for strings by samuel barker (the song from platoon)

its just so crushuingly tragic and bleak i'm have it played in a lopp at my funeral.

how about the most depressing album

A Silver Mt. Zion - He Has Left Us Alone, But Shafts Of Light Sometimes Grace The Corners Of Our Rooms... [http://cstrecords.com/cst009/]

 

[Sakurazaki1023]

Probably the most depressing thing I listen to is Katatonia. They're generally called Gothic Metal and have quite a few songs about depression, but really their music videos speak for themselves...

I should just leave it at my pick, but...

how about the most depressing album

Soul-crushing and strangely inspirational at the same time.

 

[Wharrgarble]

This is just... depressing. Very, very, very depressing. It's terrible because it really happens, too.


This is also depressing, but in a more obvious sense.

"'Cause it's the saddest song you'll ever hear!
The worst pain you'll ever feel!
But you grit your teeth 'cause it don't get better than this! Know this!
And you'll try to explain as the blood leaves all your veins,
and you can't think of anything that you would change!" - Streetlight Manifesto

 

[DracheX]

M.I.A. by Avenged Sevenfold

 

[Jaxek13]

"Yule Shoot Your Eye Out" by Fall Out Boy
It's the most depression CHRISTMAS song, that's for us.

 

[Skorpyo]

Let's go with a classic, shall we?

 

[Varun Garuda Maharaj]

this is like my theme song

 

[blankedboy]

Woods by Bon Iver.
IT'S TERRIBLE

Why? Because someone used autotune for something creative and amazing for once?

Alternatively he could have sang the fucking thing himself and actually put a bit of effort into the song. Without autotune it would've been a masterpiece, now it's just a pile of horrible-sounding almost-vox notes.

 

[Yellowbeard]

Also "Hated Sunday" by Black Box Recorder

And


From the movie Spun.

 

[Throwitawaynow]

What, no Mountain Goats? For shame

Awesome song, but it revels in the destruction too much to be depressing. If the thread was called "Most Ironically Hopeful Song" this would win hands down.

Ok, well then how about:
Or is that the same thing?
