NIN - Hurt (I hate the Johnny Cash version. Musically it sucks.)
Alice in Chains - Nutshell, Down in a Hole Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven Radiohead - Bulletproof, Exit Music (For a Film), How to Disappear Completely, Let Down, No Surprises, Street Spirit Smashing Pumpkins - 1979 |
The Postal Service's cover of "Against All Odds". I have to lock up the razor blades and whiskey when that comes on.
|
Good choices all :thumbsup:
Gotta repeat APC - 3 Libras, thanks for pointing out there is an acoustic version of this song, I'm listening to it as we speak, and it's wonderful.. John Mayer - "Wheel" Silverchair - "Emotion Sickness" Linkin Park - "My December" NIN - tons upon tons.. |
J. Frank Wilson & The Cavaliers - Last Kiss. Oldie but goodie, and so incredibly sad. In all the time since it came out, I don't think a sadder song has been written.
|
I'm gonna have to go with Dear Sweet Impaler by Park. Incredibly depressing and vivid, especially if your going through a break up. I suppose all of Park's songs can be described that way though. Still one of my favorite bands.

William Shatner has a new album out called "Has Been." One track on the album is just him talking about finding his wife's body floating dead in their swimming pool. It's called: What Have you Done?
Very creepy, poingant and depressing. |
Dntel - Why I'm So Unhappy
or Morphine - In Spite of Me |
Somewhat depressing, but quite beautiful: "In spite of all the damage" by the Be Good Tanyas.
Or, just about anything by Portishead, especially "Sour Times" |
Deed is Done by Dave Matthews. I don't think anyone has captured the pain of the loss of a loved one like that. I've only found it on the Live from Luther College with Tim Reynolds
|
The Smashing Pumpkins - Mayonaise
Nick Cave & The bad seeds - Shivers Arnold McCuller - Freebird |
Luna's Boat song from the Lunar video game for the ps.
|
There's a hidden track off of Staind's first album, Disfunction, called Excess Baggage. It's a very pretty song but also very depressing. I think a lot of the songs Aaron Lewis writes are incredibly depressing, and looking at some of the other posts, it would seem some others agree with me.

well, alot of the polyphonic spree's songs sound kinda helpless, some of the flaming lips' work makes me all mushy. but what never fails to depress with its beauty. Pale Blue Eyes by velvet underground. If you havent heard it download it or something
|
a few of my favorites...
the freshman- the vervepipe change- blind melon glycerine-bush one lonely visitor- chevelle fuel-shimmer comfortable- john mayer (more of a personal issue) hero of the day- metallica |
Hurt the johnny cash remake is definately at the top of my list especially since he passed away, cuz i grew up listening to all the outlaws and slowly they will be gone and the real heart and soul of music will follow them.
another song that makes me sad is "I can't stop loving you" by ray charles something about it, also another fallin legend. |
desolation row bob dylan powderfinger neil young.
|
metallica - fade to black
*sniff* that poor amp!...WHY?! *sobs* |
"Ballad of Worms" by Cage
|
I definately agree with many of the selctions already posted, here is my list.
Sounds of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel The Boxer - Simon & Garfunkel Hurt - Cash The Lighthouse - Nickel Creek House Carpenter - Nickel Creek And So it Goes - Billy Joel One - Metallica |
Adams Song - Blink 182
Change in the House of Flys- Deftones |
Bush - Let the Cables Sleep
Sarah McLachlan - Angel Goo Goo Dolls - Iris Alanis Morissette - Uninvited Ben Folds' Five - Brick |
The Flaming lips - You Have To Be Joking (Autopsy Of The Devil's Brain)
|
Elliot Smith - Needle In the Hay
It was featured in a similarly mooded scene in the Royal Tenenbaums to perfection. Also, I agree with the multitude for the various versions of Hurt, though the video for the Cash version is wrenching. Also agree with all those saying Gary Jules - Mad World |
Don't know the artist, but the song came from a movie called Cornbread Earl and Me:
It's so Hard to Say Good-bye to Yesterday |
Song and video is just depressing...
REM-Losing my Religion |
First one to come to mind is Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush"
|
Almost anything on the violent femmes first album.
VF rock. Mr Mephisto |
My first thought was "Two Suns in the Sunset" by Pink Floyd (Roger Waters) off the "The Final Cut" CD. When I hear the child cry "daddy daddy", it always gets me.
|
All the good ones have been said, but this song gets to me everytime I hear it.
Light in Your Eyes---Blessed Union of Souls |
Although it became uber-famous really quick after donnie darko dropped, for years i've loved Mad World. great cut, hella sad.
|
MahlerIsGod beat me to it because Take It With Me
by Tom Waits has to be the saddest song I've ever heard. |
Somebody - Depeche mode
|
anything by either Katatonia or anathema!
brilliant dark and depressing! check them out Katatonia is from sweeden and anathema are from england; |
hey guys...i recommend this...sounds really darn sad...sigh..
Nine Inch Nails - Losing Hope its a Halo 2 song...man...the music speaks for itself...just listen.. |
Blink 182 - Adam's Song
& Johnny Cash - Hurt |
the simple minds- "don't you (forget about me)"
|

Rick Price - Heaven Knows |
