PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2004 'Becalmed' off Eno's Another Green World gets me, and it's an instrumental. Stuff like Morrissey doesn't really make me feel sad, but the thing about depressing music and lyrics is that it gives you the sense other people feel the same way and they're just as angry as you (if you can relate to it directly) and that makes you feel better, just like talking to someone about stuff makes it better.

Slickster 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2005 Metallica - "The Outlaw Torn" Black Sabbath - "Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener" Fucking depressing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2005 "Outlaw Torn" is a good one. Depressing for a multitude of reasons, with one being that it signified the end of Metallica's great "epic" songs (Load has its fair share, as has been discussed here...and no, Agent, we're not listening to you about this topic), and the overall feel to it. I can't believe nobody's said "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd yet. Just hearing it from start to finish gets me thinking about shit I don't like thinking about (more friends dying, me dying, everybody just leaving, etc.), but yet the song is so beautiful I can't help but listen to it whenever I can. In fact, I think I'm gonna go pop it in right now. Also, once we get our demo recorded, I think you guys should listen to a song my band wrote called "Oceana." I'm not too proud of the lyrics since I just threw 'em together with the exception of the 3rd verse, but it's just a sad song that you can mosh to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Stanley 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2005 "Simple Man" by Skynyrd is just a sad song cause it's what most of our mothers/fathers/etc. told us before, and some are no longer with us. "Sure Got Cold After The Rain Fell" is also a good song by ZZ Top, old ZZ Top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2005 Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt." The entire Darkest Days album by Stabbing Westward is my "depression" album. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hurt was my first instinct. I'd forgotten all about Darkest Days, which was traditionally my depression album. Comfortably Numb can also do the trick when called upon. Upon further review, 'Always' by Saliva has always struck me. 'Ana's Song' by Silverchair. 'Jeremy' by Pearl Jam. hell yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) I literally almost cried in front of a customer while I was at work when "Dance With My Father" by Luther Vandross played once, I had to turn away to keep him from seeing it. "My Immortal" can get me too. Some of Beethoven's last string quartets are pain on strings, although I only remember hearing them in class, I don't remember the numbers. "Ooh La La" is very sad too, although I only know it by Rod Stewart's version "Man In Black" by Johnny Cash is depressing to hear too, especially since he's passed away.

CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2005 "A Friend of a Friend" by the Foo Fighters gets me a bit sad. Same with "Walking After You". I'd also give the sad nod to "O.K." by Local H, and "The Hunger" by the Distillers. Ah, what the hell, let's add an Alannis Morrisette song. It's the hidden one on the Jagged Little Pill CD...it comes in after the second version of "You Oughta Know". It's about the day she found out her boyfriend was cheating on her...it's just real emotional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Positively Kanyon 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2005 "Angel's Song" by Sevendust (I think it's by them) is a really good "sad" song. Doesn't really make me sad, I think it's a good song to listen to... "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss" by PM Dawn is another good "sad" song I like listening too. I wouldn't really say it's a sad song but what the hell, I'll list it here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
