sad/depressing songs

what is a sad/depressing for you these days?

for me it's Janis Joplin - "Kozmic Blues", it's depressing and very emotional, it really gets below the surface.

 

I guess NIck Drake springs to mind.

 

Let Go by EastWest

 

wu tang clan - CREAM

 

Bright Eyes - "Something Vague"

 

Missy Higgins - I'm All For Believing. it always makes me kind of melancholy.

 

They Might Be Giants ~ "End of the tour"

It's about a group of girls who get killed in a head-on collision, and the driver of the other car blames himself because they will never be as old as he has gotten.

 

leonard cohen - nancy
joy division - isolation

 

Oom Bop- Hanson

 

My Dying Bride - Sear me III
Demons & Wizards - Fiddler on the green
Iced Earth - A question of heaven
Metallica - Low man's lyric

Not really depressing, but very sad and beautiful at the same time and I've cried because of these songs more than once. Depressions never last long on me though. Maybe if you lock me up in a room with non-stop hip hop from the speakers I'd get suicidal.

For people craving unpleasant, sombre, ungraceful music I can gleefully advise the Swans. Or Forgotten Tomb. Muhahaha.

 

janis joplin kozmic blues i love that song it's amazing!

my really sad songs are Hole - drown soda, best sunday dress, garbadgeman, old age, petals and northern star. they really aren't a happy band.
oh and system of a down chop suey and spiders always make me sad for some reason. great songs though.

 

Led Zeppelin - Since Ive been loving you

 

this is a werid song, but puff the magic dragon makes me sad, makes methink of my Papa and it is a kinf of a sad song, all mellow and the like.

 

Harry Chapin's song "Cats In the Cradle"
The Beginning is the End is the Beginning (Smashing Pumpkins)
Sunday Bloody Sunday (U2)
Behind Blue Eyes (The Who... too bad Fred Durst fucking pissed all over their song...jerks.)
Cousin Kevin / Fiddle About (The Who...for pete's sake, these songs are about getting bullied & child molestation, respectively)
Dust In the Wind (Kansas)

...wow, I sure listen to a lot of sad songs...

 

Alot of Radioheads stuff off Kid A and Amnesiac is considered depressing by alot of people, it's brilliant though even if it has an air of melancholy about it.

 

Um, I'm thinking "Days Between" - GD is pretty sad.
