What's the most depressing song you ever heard?

^I disagree. I think it's an excellent cover, because Johnny Cash changed the contex to his own personal emotions instead of just doing an exact run of the mill cover. I think this was one of Cash's greatest skills.

He puts so much emotion into his version, in a different way to the original. In some ways, to me they seem like different songs altogether, even though they are of the same lyrics etc.

 

"You Know You're Right" - Nirvana



If alienation had an anthem...

 

neil young can bring me down anyplace anyhow....and there's this one song of micheal pitt....death to birth...damn....beatifull as it is,it makes me cry alll the goddamn way!!
candy sue

 

ditto

 

Kings crossing- Elliott Smith

 

for lyrics, captain jack-billy joel

for music, exit music-radiohead

 

How To Disappear Completely- Radiohead

 

i'm jumping on the johnny cash train...the vid for 'hurt' never fails to make me choke up (although i cry in many, many things, even the flippin princess bride, so that's probably not a good indicator).

and radiohead is also sympathetic when you are down

 

Anything by the cursed Pink Floyd...Lord, how I despise that band.

I'd rather watch paint dry.....

 

yeah i was gonna say nobody home by pink floyd

 

Probably Californication by Red hot chili peppers or that band Coldplay their really sad and depressing almost makes me wanna cry.

 

the drugs dont work by the verve.

 

hmmm i dont really cry to songs, i do feel maybe moved..
Tears in Heaven by Clapton is sad cause he sang it after the loss of his son..very sad...
But the song that I actually cried too would have to be that song from the cartoon American Tale, where fievel sings "somewhere out there"

 

Kansas' Dust In The Wind, dude.

 

It Could be 'Lullaby' by Starsailor, 'Creep' by Radiohead, or 'As you are' by Travis...but it is in fact most definitely 'October' by U2...or indeed 'Everybody hurts' by R.E.M.Or indeed a host of others I could mention, but will refrain from doing so at this juncture...

 

anything radiohead

 

Imagine -john lennon.. makes me want to cry everytime

 

How to disappear completely, Radiohead
Little earthquakes, Tori Amos
Caught a lite sneeze, Tori Amos
a lot of songs on Disintegration by The Cure
and because of the lyrics, a lot on the second Libertines album

 

Just about every song on 'Berlin'. But I still love it.

 

looks like rain - grateful dead
