depressing music?

[annie_vox]

Ocean Of Noise - The Arcade Fire

Lucky / Karma Police - Radiohead

The Fox In The Snow - Belle & Sebastian (I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever...)

Forget Her - Jeff Buckley

Love Is Blindness / Miss Sarajevo - U2

Fury / Hyper Chondriac Music - Muse

All The Pretty Little Horses - Calexico

Crystal Ship - The Doors

I don't remember other ones now... But most of the songs I really love are a little depressing, so there's much more

 

[Mogi]

Sigur Ros. Oh yeah.
Put on their () album. Sad enough to straighten Richard Simmons hair.

 

[Harry Vest]

The Gunshy - "No Man's Blues" and "Souls" (both contain some wonderfully depressing songs.

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

The Cure - Faith
The Cure - Pornography
The Cure - Bloodflowers
The Cure - Desintegration

Melodies, lyrics..... so good.

 

[AnnRKeyintheUSA]

Soul Asylum- Grave Dancer's Union and Let Your Dim Light Shine

 

[UberBeaver]

The Cure - Desintegration

When I wallow in my depressions, that's the only album I need. I've been wallowing for years, and it's never let me down.


"i think it's dark and it looks like rain" you said
"and the wind is blowing like it's the end of the
world" you said "and it's so cold it's like the
cold if you were dead" and then you smiled for
a second.

"i think i'm old and i'm in pain" you said
"and it's all running out like it's the end of the
world" you said "and it's so cold it's like the
cold if you were dead" and then you smiled for
a second

sometimes you make me feel like i'm living at
the edge of the world like i'm living at the edge
of the world "it's just the way i smile" you said


That's the first song. ....but in a way. Enjoy!

Beautiful.....

Tom McRae's Just Like Blood album.

 

[Bunbury]

Anything from Katatonia or Sentenced is depression heaven.

Exit and Wake Up Dead Man are the most depressing songs in U2 catalog personally.

 

[Lancemc]

Equal parts depressing and uplifting. Just the way I like it. Damn near perfect in any case.

 

[BoMac]

i wonder why radiohead's entire catalogue hasn't been mentioned in here.

I think Exit Music(For a Film), How to Disappear Completely and Bullet Proof...I Wish I Was are three of the most depressing songs ever.

But they're so good.

 

[Canadiens1131]

I want you
The truth cant hurt you its just like the dark
It scares you witless
But in time you see things clear and stark
I want you
Go on and hurt me then well let it drop
I want you
Im afraid I wont know where to stop
I want you
Im not ashamed to say I cried for you
I want you
I want to know the things you did that we do too
I want you
I want to hear he pleases you more than I do
I want you
I might as well be useless for all it means to you
I want you
Did you call his name out as he held you down
I want you
Oh no my darling not with that clown
I want you

pretty much any album by Owen will do the trick. same with Lucero (they go great with whiskey and cheap beer).

I just bought this album, I wanted Blonde on Blonde but for some reason you can't buy that via iTunes in the US. Anyway, it's real good. Thanks for recommending it (even if you weren't recommending it to me.)
