Guest T®ITEC Report post Posted May 8, 2003 Black Sabbath - "Planet Caravan" Gary Jules - "Mad World" I listen to "Mad World" last night and started to freakin' sob. I was already down, and DAMN, that song just about killed me. I never have found "Planet Caravan" to be depressing, though. I actually find it to be pretty relaxing. It just seems like such a calm song. Anyway, like Addy said, most of these songs have been total downers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest C-Bacon Report post Posted May 9, 2003 If you've just broken up with a loved one and (for some reason) want to make yourself feel better dl "She's Got a New Disguise" by The Matthew Good Band. Guaranteed to make you want to die. Agreed. I;d throw in : The Rat Who Would Be King The Fine Art of Falling Apart (most depressing song i've ever heard. ) Advertising on Police Cars all by Matthew Good Band btw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Cerebus The Aardvark Report post Posted May 23, 2003 Neophytes. Some of these have been mentioned already, but that's too damn bad. "Indifference"--Pearl Jam: I was obsessed with this song for 4 years, and that was NOT a good thing. "Rubber Ring"--The Smiths: The last verse says it all: "I'm here with a cause, I'm holding a torch in the corner of your room, can you hear me? And when you're dancing, and laughing, and finally living, hear my voice in your head and think of me kindly. Do you love me like you used to?" "Asleep"--The Smiths: "There is a better world...well, there must be", indeed. Songs about suicide are usually overly dramatic, but this one isn't. "Nutshell"--Alice In Chains: Another song I would just listen to on repeat. "And yet I find repeating in my head...'if I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead...'". Yeah. "Porcelain"--Better Than Ezra: Ouch. "I wish I could kill you, savour the sight, get into my car, drive into the night, then lie as I scream to the heavens above that I was the last one you ever loved...". Indeed. "Raining In Baltimore"--Counting Crows: This song (and the album) is amazing. "There's things I remember, and things I forget...I miss you, I guess that I should. Three thousand five hundred miles away, but what would you change if you could?" "Timelessness"--Fear Factory: Extremely depressing song for only 2 verses. "Dark night of my soul" indeed. "Speedway"--Morrissey: A bit vicious and snarling, this song is still quite poignant. "I've always been true to you...in my own strange way, I've always been true to you...in my own sick way, I'll always stay true to you..." "The Things You Said"--Depeche Mode: Another song that helped me destroy myself for many years, largely due to a direct association with something unpleasant. "I've never felt so disappointed..." "Sinking"--The Cure: It took me a while to warm up to this song, but I did in a big way, particularly when I learned that Smith was the same age I was at the time when he wrote the song (25). A great testament to the changes you go through in your mid 20s. "Black"--Pearl Jam: A classic, really, particularly the live version from Atlanta in 1994. One of the greatest songs of unrequited love ever written, with one of the best lines ever: "I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why can't it be mine?". "Without You I'm Nothing"--Placebo: The title track from their second album is slow and haunting. CHeck out the version with Bowie doing vocals with them. "To Wish Impossible Things"--The Cure: Quiet, slow, and matter of fact, sometimes things just don't turn out the way we want them to...a pretty big theme in The Cure's music. "Fretless"--R.E.M.: A hidden gem by the Georgia boys, this song is pseudo-positive, but the presentation of it is very strapped down and quite sad. "Space-Dye Vest"--Dream Theater: A great song for the post-breakup period, the quiet anger at the end is terrific. "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..." And, for the most depressing song I've ever heard... Disintegration, by The Cure. By that, I mean the entire album, as it is possibly the greatest album ever made, IMO, and is the best concept album ever made (second place goes to Genesis' The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway). If I had to choose one specific song from the album, it would be the title track. This guy is actually disintegrating while we listen, and the music does as well, with the guitars becoming a little more distorted and frantic. It's the most amazing song I have ever heard. Converge did a tolerable cover of it. The lyrics, in full: Oh, I miss the kiss of treachery The shameless kiss of vanity The soft and the black and the velvety Up tight against the side of me And mouth and eyes and heart all bleed And run in thickening streams of greed As bit by bit it starts the need To just let go My party piece... Oh, I miss the kiss of treachery The aching kiss before I feed The stench of a love for a younger meat And the sound that it makes When it cuts in deep The holding up on bended knees The addiction of duplicities As bit by bit it starts the need To just let go My party piece... But I never said I would stay to the end So I leave you with babies, and hoping for frequency Screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy Screaming me over and over and over I leave you with photographs Pictures of trickery Stains on the carpet and Stains on the scenery Songs about happiness, murmured in dreams When we both us knew How the ending would be... So it's all come back round to breaking apart again Breaking apart like I'm made up of glass again Making it up behind my back again Holding my breath for the fear of sleep again Holding it up behind my head again Cut in deep to the heart of the bone again Round and round and round And it's coming apart again Over and over and over Now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces I'll pull out my heart And I'll feed it to anyone Crying for sympathy Crocodiles cry for the love of the crowd And the three cheers from everyone Dropping through sky Through the glass of the roof Through the roof of your mouth Through the mouth of your eye Through the eye of the needle It's easier for me to get closer to heaven Than ever feel whole again I never said I would stay to the end I knew I would leave you with babies and everything Screaming like this in the hole of sincerity Screaming me over and over and over I leave you with photographs Pictures of trickery Stains on the carpet and Stains on the memory Songs about happiness, murmured in dreams When we both of us knew How the end always is... How the end always is... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
