Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted April 11, 2002 I pulled out my No Alternative CD a little while ago and Bob Mould's "Can't fight It" was playing and an overwhelming depression came over me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest shlidgn90 Report post Posted April 11, 2002 the saddest song i have ever heard was tori amos's winter. any and everyone can relate about missed oppurtunities in life, and hers was that she never made herself happy and just totally realized it near the end.

Guest godthedog Report post Posted April 12, 2002 the beatles are good for sad songs (or any kind of songs, for that matter). first song i ever cried to was 'eleanor rigby'. the lyrics, the vocals & the strings just rip your heart out. 'julia' is spooky & extremely sad if you know who julia actually is. 'golden slumbers' is heartbreaking. another one: 'hold on' by sarah mclachlan. for the longest time i thought it was just a song about a woman who thinks her guy might be leaving her, but i listened to it after my friend told me that the guy has aids & just lost it. for a year, no matter where i was i'd cry whenever i heard it. i'd also like to nominate an album: 'plastic ono band' by john lennon. that whole album is just ONE LONG DOWN NOTE. the production is stark naked, it has the single most emotional vocals i've ever heard on a record (no exaggeration), & every one of the songs is sad & angry. when you hear a righteous idealist like john lennon sing 'the dream is over', nothing seems the same.

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted September 22, 2002 Gad, how did you FIND this thread? Anyways, just about any of those slow Motown songs will do it for me. "When a Man Loves a Woman" is good for insta-depression. And yes, "Golden Slumbers" can either be depressing or make you feel really good depending on your mood. Good thing "Carry that Weight" is right behind it to make us all feel good. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Incandenza Report post Posted September 22, 2002 Aimee Mann's "SaveMe" gets me worked up sometimes, because of a personal association with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Czech Republic Report post Posted September 22, 2002 "Konstantine" and "Brick" and everything from Plastic Ono Band gets me kinda down, but whenever a song depresses me I just play the Hartford Whalers theme song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Incandenza Report post Posted September 22, 2002 Oh yeah. The Magnetic Fields' "Papa Was A Rodeo" nearly choked me up one time, but I was drunk. That the song is about the love between two gay cowboys possibly says something about me I'd rather not know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Rock Candy Report post Posted September 22, 2002 If you ever get a chance, check out Big Star's "Holocaust". That is the most depressing song I've ever heard in my life. Stark, dry piano, a resigned tone of voice, and it was intended to be one of the most utterly uncommercial songs ever done. But how many hits about your mother dying in her bed can you name? -Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted September 23, 2002 I still say these two songs can be uplifting or depressing depending on mood: Katy Song -- Red House Painters Exit Music(for a film) -- Radiohead Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Michael Joel Benoit Report post Posted September 24, 2002 "Get What You Give" by New Radicals always depresses me because that song reminds me of some great times I had when I was little. So I get a little teary eye listening to it. Also, Greenday "Time Of Your Life." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted September 24, 2002 Life of Agony's River Runs Red album is one of the more depressing mofo's I've ever heard. It doesn't make me sad, per se, but it's so easy to relate to, it's just about a guy's horrible week, and his life going to shit to the point where he just can't stand it any more and kills himself. Fucking awesome concept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
