The Smiths -Asleep
It's a suicide song. That is very depressing.

Funny I should see this thread now. I just came home after being gone for a few months and was presented with a minute chore; file my old vinyl.
I was looking at some platters to see if they were warped or scratched and then broke out an unopened present from last year, a USB turntable. (I'm not too cheap to buy new, vinyl is still primo) I thought, hmm what would Steely Dan sound like in an MP3. I realized the old song Deacon Blues is a very depressing song. "I'll learn to work the saxophone, I'll play just what I feel Drink scotch whisky all night long, And die behind the wheel They got a name for the winners in the world, I want a name when I lose They call Alabama the Crimson Tide, call me Deacon Blues" Most of the song is like 'I'm in a depressed state and I'm just settling in to permnant depression." Depressing for Duke grads, Duke fans, and just depressing. Of course thats why it's called blues huh? Of course if I graduated from a Lib school like Bard I might be depressed too. It might be a graduation requirement. (Lib as in liberal not liberal arts or Libertarian) Last edited by Kingruv; 04-11-2009 at 10:06 PM.. |

If I had just one moment at your expense, maybe all my misery, It would be well spent. Yeah.... Chorus: Could you cry a little? Lie just a little? Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain. I gave, now I'm wanting something in return. So cry just a little for me. If your love could be caged, honey, I would hold the key, And conceal it underneath the pile of lies you handed me. [ Find more Lyrics on ANGIE APARO "CRY" Lyrics ] And you'd hunt in those lies. They'd be all you'd ever find. That'd be all you'll have to know for me to be fine. Yeah... Chorus: And you'd cry a little, die just a little. And maybe I'll feel just a little less pain. I gave, now I'm wanting something in return. So cry just a little for me. Give it up baby....whimper would be fine. Some kind of clue that you're doing time. Some kind of heartache, honey, give it a try.. I don't want pity I just want what is mine. Yeah. Could you cry a little? Lie just a little? Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain. I gave, now I'm wanting something in return. So cry just a little for me yeah....could you cry a little for me? yeah...cry...a little....for me. ----- Black Orchid by Blue October ----- Have you ever been so lonely, No one there to hold? Pull me in or disown me, And then climb inside. My arms are open wide. Have a look inside. It is not that I am scared to learn, Why I'm empty inside. hold my hand or show some concern, If I live or die. My eyes are open wide. Help me look inside. I hear the water drip from the faucet. It's sweetly falling in tune. I'm gently closing the closet. I fall to the floor, and crawl to my room. The thought of ending it soon... Just let me sleep in my room. Hear me cry! cry! cry! I hear a knock at the front door. Don't come in! I try to look at you But I can't stop shaking. Leave me alone. Just go away. Mother I'm so scared. Empty bed and all of the sheets are gone, They're wrapped around me and you. All is quiet but the drop of a gun. I want to belong...to someone... But maybe life's not for everyone. ----- One of God's Better People by Robbie Williams ----- You're one of God's better people And you don't know That's why you're special And I cry so I can talk like this From my downbeat existence And I know that you can make my wish If my wish is pure But I don't know I just don't know I don't know Let me love you so Now I can't live this without you I'd die without you Without you, without you You're one of God's better people And you don't know That's why you're special It must hurt to see your favourite man Lose himself again and again And I know that you're my only friend >From way back when My wish was pure It was oh so pure It was pure I couldn't love you more Now I can't live this without you I'd die without you Without you Now I can't live this without you I'd die without you Without you, without you 'cos I don't know no more I just don't know no more I jsut don't know Let me love you so Now I can't live this without you I'd die without you Without you Now I can't live this without you I'd die without you Without you, without you You're one of God's better people And you don't know That's why you're special ----- Tea and Sympathy by Jars of Clay ---- Fare thee well Trade in all our words for tea and sympathy Wonder why we tried, for things that could never be Play our hearts lament, like an unrehearsed symphony Not intend To leave this castle full of empty rooms Our love the captive in the tower never rescued And all the victory songs Seem to be playing out of tune But its not the way That it has to be Dont trade our love for tea and sympathy cause its not the way That it has to be You begin And all your words fall to the floor and break like china cups And the waitress grabs a broom and tries to sweep them up I reach for my tea and slowly drink in Chorus: cause its not the way That it has to be Dont trade our love for tea and sympathy cause its not the way That it has to be Dont trade our love for tea and sympathy So fare thee well Words the bag of leaves that fill my head I could taste the bitterness and call the waitress instead She holds the answer, smiles and asks one teaspoon or two [chorus x 2] Dont trade us for tea and sympathy Dont trade us for tea and sympathy We can work it out Dont trade us for tea and sympathy Dont trade us for tea and sympathy We can work it out Dont trade us for tea and sympathy We can work it out ----- Goodbye to You by Michelle Branch (believe it or not!) ----- Of all the things I believe in I just want to get it over with tears from behind my eyes but I do not cry Counting the days that past me by I've been searching deep down in my soul Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old Looks like I'm starting all over again The last three years were just pretend and I say Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything I thought I knew You were the one I love The one thing that I tried to hold on to I still get lost in your eyes And it seems like I can't live a day without you Closing my eyes till you chase my thoughts away To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything I thought I knew You were the one I loved The one thing that I tried to hold on to Ohhh yeah It hurts to want everything & nothing at the same time I want whats yours and I want whats mine I want you but I'm not giving in this time Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything I thought I knew You were the one I loved The one thing that I tried to hold on to The one thing that I tried to hold on to Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything I thought I knew You were the one I loved The one thing that I tried to hold on to We the stars fall and I lie awake Your my shooting star ----- Chandeliers by My Friend Steve ---- Crystalline chandeliers hang from your sleeping eyes Each stone seems more than a crystal to me They're more like diamonds that you have wiped within your angel kissed skin Far too many time these rigid stones, these diamond tears With the numbers so great They've formed the chandeliers from you All these jagged years so mean So lean of interludes of delight Many an eve you've wept 'til blue Many more you've held your feelings in tight Deep down within you carry other's sins And you cry to the man who sits up high So many worries see joy pass in flurries Can leave you wrinkled to die ----- 4 A.M. by Our Lady Pace ----- Walked around my good intentions And found out there were none I blame my father for the wasted years We hardly talked Never thought I would forget this hate And a phone call made me realize I'm wrong And if I don't make it known that I loved you all along Just like sunny days that We ignored because We're both dumb and jaded And I hope to God I figure out whats wrong Walked around my room not thinking Sinking in this box Blame myself for being too much like Somebody else I never thought I would just bend this way Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong And if I don't make it known that I loved you all along Just like sunny days that We ignored because We're all dumb and jaded And I hope to God I figure out whats wrong And if I don't make it known that I loved you all along Just like sunny days that We ignored because We're both dumb and jaded And I hope to God I figure out ----- Is Anybody Home? by Our Lady Peace ----- Goodbye, the future's sold out There's no use screaming Who thought we'd ever get this far Tonight, your faith has come down To money & a TV Psychics who've never been to Mars And nazis breast feeding I know you must be upset I can't find meaning I'm sorry, we're sorry We're all scared, all scared Hey, is anybody home Has anybody wasted tears on The loneliness That everyone becomes Goodnight, the truth has come out Everyone's needy White teeth, a ticket to meet God Be all that you envy The shotgun under your bed has Started breathing You shot it, you shot it I'm bare, I'm bare Hey, is anybody home Has anybody painted fear On the bedroom walls that save us from ----- With This Knife by Smile Empty Soul ---- I let myself fall into a lie I let my walls come down I let myself smile and feel alive I let my walls come down no matter how I try I don't know why you push so far away you wrapped your hands tight around my heart you squeezed it full of pain with this knife I'll cut out the part of me the part that cares for you with this knife I'll cut out the heart of me the heart that cares for you I can't believe the way you took me down I never saw the pain coming in a million broken miles like poison FOR my veins with this knife I'll cut out the part of me the part that cares for you with this knife I'll cut out the heart of me the heart that cares for you with this knife I'll cut out the part of me the part that cares for you with this knife I'll cut out the heart of me the heart that cares for you the hate and the fear the nightmares that wake me up in tears the nightmares and the hate and the fear the nightmares that wake me up in tears the nightmares and the hate and the fear the nightmare that wake me up in tears the nightmares and the hate ----- Dry Your Eyes by The Streets ----- In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round I stand there for a minute starin' straight into the ground Lookin' to the left slightly, then lookin' back down World feels like it's caved in - proper sorry frown Please let me show you where we could only just be, for us I can change and I can grow or we could adjust The wicked thing about us is we always have trust We can even have an open relationship, if you must I look at her she stares almost straight back at me But her eyes glaze over like she's lookin' straight through me Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity When they open up she's lookin' down at her feet Dry your eyes mate I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up There's plenty more fish in the sea Dry your eyes mate I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts But you've got to walk away now It's over So then I move my hand up from down by my side It's shakin', my life is crashin' before my eyes Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh 'Cause I can't imagine my life without you and me There's things I can't imagine doin', things I can't imagine seein' It weren't supposed to be easy, surely Please, please, I beg you please She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she's blessed with She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures By pushin' my hand away to my chest, from hers Dry your eyes mate I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up There's plenty more fish in the sea Dry your eyes mate I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts But you've got to walk away now It's over And I'm just standin' there, I can't say a word 'Cause everythin's just gone I've got nothin' Absolutely nothin' Tryin' to pull her close out of bare desperation Put my arms around her tryin' to change what she's sayin' Pull my head level with hers so she might engage in Look into her eyes to make her listen again I'm not gonna fuckin', just fuckin' leave it all now 'Cause you said it'd be forever and that was your vow And you're gonna let our things simply crash and fall down You're well out of order now, this is well out of town She pulls away, my arms are tightly clamped round her waist Gently pushes me back and she looks at me straight Turns around so she's now got her back to my face Takes one step forward, looks back, and then walks away Dry your eyes mate I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up There's plenty more fish in the sea Dry your eyes mate I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts But you've got to walk away now It's over I know in the past I've found it hard to say Tellin' you things, but not tellin' straight But the more I pull on your hand and say The more you pull away Dry your eyes mate I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up There's plenty more fish in the sea Dry your eyes mate I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts But you've got to walk away now. ----- |

This one?
But hands down, the saddest song has to be this old chestnut by Terry Jacks (of the Poppy Family). Just look at the pain in his face:

I searched this thread for a tune that I heard this afternoon. I couldn't find it, so here is the Manhattans' Kiss and Say Good'bye which is definitely sad. But sad in a different way than Terry Jack's Seasons in the Sun dirge:
I just love the soul in the choreography. It's not over the top 'look at how good I am' athleticism that currently graces our screens.

I'm surprised that in 9 pages of discussion these weren't mentioned once....
The Priest and The Matador - Senses Fail Bittersweet - Apocalyptica Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve Does He Love You? - Rilo Kiley (surprisingly upbeat, very sad) Is It Real? - The Seatbelts (From Cowboy Bebop) Black Dahlia - Hollywood Undead (Seems a bit angry as well) House Carpenter - Hurt Losing - Hurt Rapture - Hurt Slow Dancing In A Burning Room - John Mayer The Nurse Who Loved Me - A Perfect Circle Uninvited - Alanis Morissette I Don't Care - Apocalyptica Desperately Wanting - Better Than Ezra Change - Blind Melon Mouth Full Of Cavities - Blind Melon The Dress - Blonde Redhead Cure My Tragedy (A Letter To God) - Cold Insane - Cold Rain Song - Cold Into The Labyrinth - Dead Can Dance (I have plenty more, and may add, depending on responses to the thread.) I also agree with ones that were posted before: Hurt - NIN Almost Lover - A Fine Frenzy Your Ex-Love Is Dead - Stars Cats In The Cradle - Henry Chapin But yes. I apologize for my ridiculously long list. |

Acoustic version of Wake Up by Arcade Fire. Ridiculously sad.
Lyrics: Somethin’ filled up my heart with nothin’, someone told me not to cry. But now that I’m older, my heart’s colder, and I can see that it’s a lie. Children wake up, hold your mistake up, before they turn the summer into dust. If the children don’t grow up, our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up. We’re just a million little god’s causin rain storms turnin’ every good thing to rust. I guess we’ll just have to adjust. With my lighnin’ bolts a glowin’ I can see where I am goin’ to be when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand. With my lighnin’ bolts a glowin’ I can see where I am goin’ With my lighnin’ bolts a glowin’ I can see where I am go-goin’ You better look out below! |

My list of depressing songs: some of these are quite old and obscure, but if your blue funk isn't blue or funky enough, these'll get you there:
Alone Again (Naturally) - Gilbert O'Sullivan Toby - The Chi-Lites The Beginning Of My End - The Unifics The Coldest Days Of My Life - The Chi-Lites Honey - Bobby Goldsboro Last Kiss - J. Frank Wilson And The Cavaliers (later by Pearl Jam) Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay - Otis Redding Starry Starry Night - Don McLean Brandy - The O'Jays (NOT Brandy (You're A Fine Girl) by Looking Glass, although that's pretty sad, too. House Of Wood - Mandrill (has me in tears by the end of the second verse no matter HOW many times I hear it). |

Johnny Cash - You Are My Sunshine
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamt I held you in my arms But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I hung my head and I cried. I'll always love you and make you happy, If you will only say the same. But if you leave me and love another, You'll regret it all some day: You told me once, dear, you really loved me And no one else could come between. But now you've left me and love another; You have shattered all of my dreams: In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me When I awake my poor heart pains. So when you come back and make me happy I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away
