Junkmale78,
That song would be better if Eric Cartman were singing (see his Styx cover of Sail Away). That song could be described in one word: kitsch.

the most depressing song i have ever heard was christian. it's by kathy trocoli (i think thats how you spell it). it was about this mother-to-be, i think a teen, and how she was going to get an abortion. thing about the song was that it was being sung from the baby's point of veiw, like the baby was singing it. how it could hear her talking about getting rid of it and everything. it was touching and really sad. it made alot of us cry.

The *most* depressing song? Hmmm good question...
I know most of you may not be into country music, but I would have to say the most depressing thing I have ever heard was: Little Jimmy Dickens - "Raggedy Ann" It's a song in which a man is talking to an old Raggedy Ann doll as he walks up the hill to his childs grave. Raggedy Ann was the childs doll. As he talks to the doll, he explains the death of the child and his wife, and keeps apologizing that this will be the last time he talks to the doll, for he is about to go off and die himself. It's more a form of emotional torture than a song. So, for me it takes the cake. |

Eleanor Rigby depresses me every time. So does Precious Things by Tori Amos. And... well, there are a lot more. I was really into depressing music for a long time, and I guess I still am.
Look into COIL (Astral Disaster is pretty good for it, so is the song "Who'll Fall?"). |

I think it has to deal with my frame of mind...It is a wonderful and beautiful song, and it saddens me when I listen to it, it strikes something in me, that I seem to lack, I guess. Kind of like the song John Mayer - Comfortable. The song itself isn't really depressing, it's the way my mind processess it. I want to feel the way the music is being portrayed in Always with me, Always with you. I know all that may sound really wierd, and I'm sorry if I didn't answer your question... I guess to sum it up: The song makes me feel like I am missing something, yet I don't know what it is. It is one of my favorites though. I am going to add Comfortable by John Mayer to the list as well. /me is a weird kid.

Ani DiFranco - Grey
the sky is grey, the sand is grey, and the ocean is grey and i feel right at home in this stunning monochrome, alone in my way i smoke and i drink, and every time i blink i have a tiny dream but as bad as i am i'm proud of the fact that i'm worse than i seem what kind of paradise am i looking for? i've got everything i want and still i want more maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the shore you walk through my walls like a ghost on tv, you penetrate me and my little pink heart is on its little brown raft floating out to sea and what can i say but i'm wired this way and you're wired to me and what can i do but wallow in you unintentionally what kind of paradise am i looking for? i've got everything i want and still i want more maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the shore regretfully, i guess i've only got three simple things to say: why me? why this now? why this way? with overtones ringing and undertows pulling away under a sky that is grey, on sand that is grey, by an ocean that's grey what kind of paradise am i looking for? i've got everything i want and still i want more maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the shore |

When I was growing up, we always thought "The Wall" by Pink Floyd was pretty depressing.
Hell, that whole album was depressing. Kids would kill themselves in their cars and that would be in the tape deck. "All in all you're just another Brick in the Wall"
