yabobo · 05-24-2003, 06:02 PM

this one is old, i don't care for Elvis but,

In the getto, Elvis arron Pressley none sadder just go check it out!

Conclamo Ludus · 05-25-2003, 11:14 AM

Tindersticks - Tiny Tears. Sopranos fans will recognize it from Season One just before the big attempt on Tony's life.
Louis Armstrong - Black and Blue.
Beck's latest album is a real downer too, I like it but its a hell of a downer.
Lou Reed - Perfect Day

Cujo · 06-03-2003, 06:56 PM

Metallica's Fade to Black. Nuff said

this is one of my favorite albums (strange if you consider what I usually listen to) but its so good,yet so depressing to..great stuff, Pedestal rules and Beth Gibbons voices is great

Paper Clip · 06-04-2003, 11:23 AM

Tears in Heaven - Clapton - very sad. His reason for writing it and in the movie: "Rush" - when Jason Patric croaks.

Eggy · 06-04-2003, 08:29 PM

Eminem - Stan

Ryan · 06-07-2003, 07:57 PM

Strange Fruit - Billie Holiday

Most depressing and odd sounding song ever. It is based off of a poem regarding the lynchigns of African Ameriacns in the 20's and 30's.. CHeck it out and let me know what you think.

MSD · 06-08-2003, 01:06 AM

Blink 182's "Adam's Song" jumped to the top of my list of depressing songs after my friend Adam killed himself.

YourNeverThere · 06-09-2003, 11:21 PM

I really love depressing music, sometimes it just fits whats going on perfectly
Jets to Brazil - Sea Anenime
Ben Folds Five - Brick
Radiohead - Everything in its right Place

Infinite Hybrid · 06-10-2003, 12:36 PM

One of the recent sad songs I've heard is "Patricide" NothingFace, but I was also thinking of another song too, but can't remember now.

WhoaitsZ · 06-10-2003, 02:04 PM

dammmmmnnnn i agree with Beck's Sea Change album. you can be getting head after winning the lottery and still have to fight off suicidal tendencies when it plays.

some music i avoid at times due to sadness:

anything mazzy star
some heather nova - namely Paper Cup
Smashing Pumpkins - a LOT of stuff heh
NIN's Something I Can Never Have & Hurt
Radiohead's Creep and No Surprises and um..... exit to a french theeme or something?
Jimmy Eat World's Don't Call & Hear You Me (HYM is _depressing_)
Testament's Return to Serenity
Metallica's One. heh.

wow. i'll have to make a real list now.. heh..... soooooooooooooo many

KWSN · 06-10-2003, 02:07 PM

If it's depressing music you're looking for, you can already find it all here: http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthr...=&threadid=373

Sparhawk · 06-10-2003, 07:15 PM

Dream Theater - Spacedye Vest

Definitely a song to put on repeat right after your girlfriend dumps you, and just leave it there for the next 20 days.

Eggy · 06-10-2003, 07:50 PM

Weezer - Across The Sea
blink-182 - Adam's Song
Eminem - Stan
Green Day - Good Riddance
Nirvana - All Apologies
Pearl Jam - Jeremy
Radiohead - Creep

Hal Incandenza · 06-10-2003, 10:51 PM

I'm listening to R.E.M.'s "Me in Honey" for about the dozenth time in a row right now, coincidentally enough.

BulletBob · 06-11-2003, 12:53 AM

Stone Temple Pilots - Creep
Sublime - PoolShark
Radiohead - Paranoid Andriod
Pearl Jam - Footsteps
NOFX - Whoops, I Od'd
Nine Inch Nails - Hurt
Johnny Cash - The Mercy Seat
Everlast - What It's Like
Temple Of The Dog - Wooden Jesus

That's all I got off the top of my head

rainincarnate · 06-11-2003, 12:32 PM

The smiths - most stuff by them but the best are "How soon is now" and "That joke isnt funny anymore"

NIN - Burn

Handsome Family - "pigeons" "Woman downstairs"

Therapy? - "screamager"

That Mad mad world song of Donnie Darko soundtrack

Radiohead - the whole of ok computer (currently listening to) +fake plastic trees and street spirit

Leonard Cohens first album

REM - low

and loads more.....hmm going to have to make a dpressed compilation now...

edited - Had to include most stuff by nick cave but especially -last boatmans call (for the whole girl thing depression)

oh goodnes, sorry KWSN i wasnt here then and must have missed it when i posted, it was like 6:00 am and it'd been up for a million hours, i couldnt even think of bands to list for my own post

Spektr · 06-12-2003, 02:02 PM

Mojave 3. Either very few people have heard of this band, or 90% of those who have commited suicide after being reduced to tears by their music. Holy GOD! This band is soooo depressing, but sooo beautiful. Listen to them, but keep sharp objects at a safe distance.

Dr.Who · 06-12-2003, 06:25 PM

I'm suprise there is not a single song mention from The Cure or Joy Division.

rainincarnate · 06-13-2003, 03:54 PM

Doesnt seem to be many british people here - i was the first to mention the smiths

Fantasma · 06-13-2003, 09:58 PM

The Cure - Disintegration

TIO · 06-15-2003, 08:10 AM

It's hard to go past The Verve's <I>The Drugs Don't Work</I>
That said, I prefer Ben Harper's cover

Also great:
Paul Kelly - Deeper Water
The Who - Behind Blue Eyes
Machine Gun Fellatio - Unsent Letter
Ben Folds - Rockin' the Suburbs (the whole album)
The Whitlams - Charlie No. 1 (no.s 3 and 2 as well)

Jye · 06-15-2003, 09:33 AM

Opeth-Still day beneath the sun
Ben harper-walk away
Actally a lot of Ben Harper now that I think of it.

rev_skarekroe · 06-16-2003, 10:42 AM

I like the Current 93 song I've quoted below. But historically, the most depressing song ever written is this one http://www.phespirit.info/gloomysunday/ sk

Bobaphat · 06-16-2003, 03:02 PM

the cure, morrisey and Erasure tend to be on the darker side of things.

SocialAbortion · 06-16-2003, 05:30 PM

Alice In Chains - Junkhead

NIN - Hurt

Simon And Garfunkel - The Boxer

Ben Folds Five- Brick

The Eels- Elizabeth On The Bathroom Floor

and pretty much anything by Nick Drake, Tim Buckley or Joy division.

RoloTomassy · 06-17-2003, 09:23 PM

I noticed somebody put "Vincent" by Don McClean.... did anyone else find "American Pie" depressing or did I miss the point...?

But here's the list:
"Bro Hymn" - Pennywise
"Sad But True" - The Transplants (no, it's not a Metallica cover)
"Hurt" - Johnny Cash does it more justice than Trent..... just seems more meaningful coming from an old guy

and last.... I didn't see this on any of the lists I read, but "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam

crow_daw · 06-17-2003, 09:50 PM

Johnny Cash - Hurt
Tears in Heaven - Clapton
The Little Girl - John Michael Montgomery (God DAMN, this song is sad, but hey, after all it is country, The Music of Sadness, The Music of Pain.)
I Miss You - DMX
Dear Mama - 2Pac
Undying Love - Nas

Side note: I took you guys' advice and downloaded God Said No by Dan Bern, and I'm sorry but I just don't get it, I mean I DO get it completely, but what makes it so special? I think its very mediocre songwriting. Sorry, guys.

How about Cinderella- "Don't know what you got 'til it's gone"

DocLu · 06-18-2003, 07:23 PM

Some of these have already been said, but what the hell

George Jones- He Stopped Loving Her Today
Ben Folds- Still Fighting It
Radiohead- Creep
A Perfect Circle- 3 Libras
Smashing Pumpkins- Disarm

whelming · 06-19-2003, 01:06 AM

The new Lisa Germano album, "Lullaby for Liquid Pig," doesn't have an optimistic thought on it. If that helps.
