Just curious as to why you find that song depressing? I might be missing something but my interpritation of it was always a positive one.

Forever

Not talkin' 'bout a year
No not three or four
I don't want that kind of forever
In my life anymore
Forever always seems
to be around when it begins
but forever never seems
to be around when it ends
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do From you

People spend so much time
Every single day
Runnin' 'round all over town
Givin' their forever away
But no not me
I won't let my forever roam
and now I hope I can find
my forever a home
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do
From you

Like a handless clock with numbers
An infinite of time
No not the forever found
Only in the mind
Forever always seems
to be around when things begin
but forever never seems
to be around when things end
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do
From you

"sinners & their repentances" - bob mould

i don't know that he's ever written a happy song, but this one's a (beautiful) total drag.

I guess it's just 'cause I'm so damned lonely... I didn't bother to edit out some songs in there that just have personal meaning, which I should have.

I suppose a lot of credit should be given to the original artists who compose the song (however obscure they may be), but I think DJ Shadow's "Midnight in a Perfect World" is pretty depressing.

tritium 12-29-2003 10:34 PM

Last Kiss -- Pearl Jam

That has to be the saddest song ever.

rev_skarekroe 12-30-2003 12:17 PM

The saddest song ever written is "You Are My Sunshine"

Thanks for the explination. We're using that song for our first dance at our wedding so I was a little suprised to hear it mentioned here.

Sorry to hear it has negative meanings to you.

frankx 01-17-2004 12:50 PM

Gollum's Song is pretty goddamn depressing. It's just so....hopeless.

Barber's Adagio for Strings always gets me teary-eyed.

Nancy 01-18-2004 12:48 PM

"Falling" Julee Cruise from Twin Peaks or simply just the "Twin Peaks Theme"

chrisg299 01-18-2004 03:45 PM

ebeye 01-19-2004 09:58 PM

"Fade into you" - Mazzy Star

ketamine 01-20-2004 12:49 AM

"Don't Follow" by Alice in Chains, "Crestfallen" and "To Forgive" by the Smashing Pumpkins, "I Know it's Over" by the Smiths, and quite a few songs by Leonard Cohen. ("Chelsea Hotel," "Famous Blue Raincoat," "Suzanne")

A lot of good music listed in this thread.

Dream Theater - Space Dye Vest

Falling through pages of Martens on angels
feeling my heart pull west
I saw the future dressed as a stranger
love in a space dye vest

Love is an act of blood and I'm bleeding
a pool in the shape of a heart
Beauty projection in the reflection
always the worst way to start

Now that you're gone I'm trying to take it
learning to swallow the rage
Found a new girl I think we can make it
as long as she stays on the page

This is not how I want it to end
and I'll never be open again
There's no one to take my blame
if they wanted to
Nothing to keep me sane
and its all the same to you
There's nowhere to set my aim
so I'm everywhere
Never come near me again
do you really think I need you

And I'll smile and I'll learn to pretend
And I'll never be open again
And I'll have no more dreams to defend
And I'll never be open again

asterjolly 01-20-2004 04:44 AM

something by Bright Eyes

maybe 'No Lies, Just Love'
or 'Waste Of Paint'
or 'A New Arrangement'

or Young People's 'Death Dont Have No Mercy'
or Mirah's 'Cold Cold Water'

and ditto to what everyone has said about Radiohead.

minyn 01-21-2004 01:14 PM

Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven (did a ballet solo to it, dedicated it to my mom)
Ben Folds Five - Brick
Dashboard Confessional - Screaming Infidelities

candymanman 01-21-2004 02:39 PM

ya most bright eyes is depressing. my personal favs are "a perfect sonnet", "sunrise, sunset", "drunk kid catholic", n "arienette" just to name a few. saddly on a personally level is all the other even more depressing things done with listening to these songs and more...just dont know sometimes

h2ogo69 01-21-2004 03:30 PM

nine inch nails - hurt

powerclown 01-21-2004 03:35 PM

rem - shiny happy people

wipeout 01-22-2004 06:11 PM

come on has noone heard of

tears in heaven by eric clapton

this is one of the only songs that came from the heart

lucidity 01-25-2004 08:19 AM

Hurt is a depressing song, yes. But I think NIN's most depressing song is off the first album: Something I can never have. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds have an array of depressing stuff to chose from. Top of the list I think is 'Do you love me?' the 2nd version.

Good list here, I agree on Springsteins' 'Philadelphia' and also Billy Joel's 'And so it goes'.

Redjake 01-25-2004 08:23 AM

Cranberries - Dreams

now that's depressing

chingador 01-25-2004 09:24 AM

Joy Division - The Eternal (or anything off Closer for that matter)

otnorot 01-25-2004 05:21 PM

I thought of another one: Richard Harris - MacArthur Park :(

CheeseButtons 01-25-2004 07:26 PM

Staind - Epiphany
