funny, I never thought of Green Day's "Good Riddance" as a depressing song at all until it was featured at my ex's funeral. Now, it makes me a little sad to hear it, but it's for her, not the song.
Gotta agree with Cash's "Hurt" and PJ's "Black"... Kevin Gilbert - Song for a Dead Friend Danny my friend I think you knew me better than I ever knew you Cause you read every chapter And I just glossed right over them and pretended I knew But I believed in you I loved you for your brilliance and your way of making everything absurd And I relied on you To make me see the foolishness of paragraphs that were better as one word What could I have told you to make you think again We draw the same conclusions but we choose a different end When you tear it down it only looks more ragged And when you build it up it only looks more fake So why not let it be at least until tomorrow And then you just might see your sad mistake Cause life has more to give that what you take Danny my friend Forgive me if I break our rule but I think it's overdue I really cared about you I didn't think that I could love a friend as much as I loved you And we were always friends We were Captain Jim and Billy the Super-human Crime-avenging Twins I'm gonna miss you I truly am alone now because there's no one to congratulate my sins I wish I could have been for you a more consistent friend The chapters that I skipped I'm going to have to read again But when I tear it down it only looks more ragged And when I build it up it only looks more fake But I can't let it be because part of me died with you And there's lots of pages missing from my book You had more to give than what I took.

Actually:
Billy Joel-Goodnight Saigon _________________________ We met as soul mates On parris island We left as inmates From an asylum And we were sharp As sharp as knives And we were so gung ho To lay down our lives We came in spastic Like tameless horses We left in plastic As numbered corpses And we learned fast To travel light Our arms were heavy But our bellies were tight We had no home front We had no soft soap They sent us playboy They gave us bob hope We dug in deep And shot on sight And prayed to jesus christ With all our might We had no cameras To shoot the landscape We passed the hash pipe And played our doors tapes And it was dark So dark at night And we held on to each other Like brother to brother We promised our mothers we’d write And we would all go down together We said we’d all go down together Yes we would all go down together Remember charlie Remember baker They left their childhood On every acre And who was wrong? And who was right? It didn’t matter in the thick of the fight We held the day In the palm Of our hand They ruled the night And the night Seemed to last as long as six weeks On parris island We held the coastline They held the highlands And they were sharp As sharp as knives They heard the hum of our motors They counted the rotors And waited for us to arrive And we would all go down together We said we’d all go down together Yes we would all go down together |

Matthew Good, formerly of the Matthew Good Band, has done some rather depressing songs in his time. He's relatively unknown here in America though, as he's Canadian.
Some of his more depressing songs include Suburbia, Fated, Running for Home, The Fine Art of Falling Apart, A Boy and his Machine Gun, My Life as a Circus Clown, The Rat who would be King, and Going All The Way. Now that I think of it, most of Matthew Good's songs are depressing =p. Good stuff nevertheless. Edit: Just thought of another artist with a tendency to depress the hell out of you, Aimee Mann. Just about all of her stuff will make you want to bawl your eyes out, but "Wise Up" takes the cake. Wise Up It's not What you thought When you first began it You got What you want Now you can hardly stand it though, By now you know It's not going to stop It's not going to stop It's not going to stop 'Til you wise up You're sure There's a cure And you have finally found it You think One drink Will shrink you 'til you're underground And living down But it's not going to stop It's not going to stop It's not going to stop 'Til you wise up Prepare a list of what you need Before you sign away the deed 'Cause it's not going to stop It's not going to stop It's not going to stop 'Til you wise up No, it's not going to stop 'Til you wise up No, it's not going to stop So just...give up Last edited by Zar; 07-09-2003 at 06:52 PM.. |

ok, so I just asked a good friend of mine and mind you, he was a roadie for a number of years (AC/DC, Metallica, Crue, KISS), so he's a few light years beyond your average jaded music fan, but this was his answer:
"Don't Worry, Be Happy" heh.

Type O Negative - Bloody Kisses
Not long ago but far away. A rainy winter's day. All her pain she kept inside. Could no longer hide. No cry for help. She killed herself. Both life & love could not be saved. She took them both to the grave. A pair of souls become undone. Where were two now one. Divided by this wall of death. I soon will join you yet. With my blood I'll find your love. You found the strength to end your life. As you did so shall I. Oh no. Please don't go. It's like a death in the family. A crimson pool so warm & deep. Lulls me to an endless sleep. Your hand in mine - I will be brave. take me from this earth. An endless night - this, the end of life. From the dark I feel your lips. And I taste your bloody kiss. Oh no. Please don't go. It's like a death in the family. Don't die on me. Don't die on me. Don't die on me. Don't die.

That Lux Aeterna song from Requiem for a Dream is pretty depressing, don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet. Its a really good instrumental, there's a lot of emotion in it even though it has no words. Nirvana's unplugged CD has a couple: The Man who Sold the World and Where Did You Sleep Last Night (In the Pines). Marilyn Manson's Coma White is also depressing. Ozzy's Goodbye to Romance makes me think of all the friends I've lost.

Bob Dylan--Masters of War
Come you masters of war You that build all the guns You that build the death planes You that build the big bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks You that never done nothin' But build to destroy You play with my world Like it's your little toy You put a gun in my hand And you hide from my eyes And you turn and run farther When the fast bullets fly Like Judas of old You lie and deceive A world war can be won You want me to believe But I see through your eyes And I see through your brain Like I see through the water That runs down my drain You fasten the triggers For the others to fire Then you set back and watch When the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion As young people's blood Flows out of their bodies And is buried in the mud You've thrown the worst fear That can ever be hurled Fear to bring children Into the world For threatening my baby Unborn and unnamed You ain't worth the blood That runs in your veins How much do I know To talk out of turn You might say that I'm young You might say I'm unlearned But there's one thing I know Though I'm younger than you Even Jesus would never Forgive what you do Let me ask you one question Is your money that good Will it buy you forgiveness Do you think that it could I think you will find When your death takes its toll All the money you made Will never buy back your soul And I hope that you die And your death'll come soon I will follow your casket In the pale afternoon And I'll watch while you're lowered Down to your deathbed And I'll stand o'er your grave 'Til I'm sure that you're dead |

"Last Kiss" is really depressing. I can't think of who originally sung it but I know Pearl Jam covered it. Its a really sad song.

Im surprised no one mentioned Angus Dei and Barbers Adagio for Strings - Basically same songs but ones a choir version and the other strings.. If any of you have played Homeworld the song in the intro when the homeworld gets destroyed. Or watched Platoon.
