Most Depressing song?

[Lukeje]

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.

 

[Chris^^]

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.

 

[Vetala]

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?

 

[Soulfoodman]

These songs were always personal favorites of mine and I always found the sentiments they expressed to be pretty depressing, but far from the most depressing songs out there.

"Dyed in the Wool" by Circa Survive

"Chapter 13" by +44

Embedding didn't work for whatever reason.

 

[LongLiveourMachine]

All i need by Radiohead is probably one of the most depressing songs i ever heard

 

[-Samurai-]

"Konstantine" by Something Corporate. It's the first song I learned when I decided to teach myself the piano.

It's beautiful. Not really depressing(except for some of the lyrics), though).

[small]"It's to dying in anothers arms, and why I had to try it." Is one of the greatest lines I've ever heard.[/small]

 

[dibblywibbles]

what no elliot smith? waltz #2 is a sad one. amazing song though

 

[Shikua]

My First Friend by Hyadain, no contest. Only song that can almost make me cry, and I never had a dog. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlAmKsmLav8
