PLAGIARISM! Posted November 3, 2004 Report 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.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted November 3, 2004 Report Posted November 3, 2004 Another sad King Crimson song: Lament.

Guest Shutterspeed Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Elliott Smith has reduced me to tears on more than one occasion.

SpikeFayeJettEdBebop Posted November 19, 2004 Author Report Posted November 19, 2004 Yeah, I just about cried when I listened to "The Dance" I'd heard it plenty, but it was the first time in a while. Whew, havnt teared up like that for awhile.
Lil' Bitch Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 "In The Deep" by Bird York Man, that's song so fucking depressing to listen to.
Guest Samantha Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 'Always' by Saliva has always struck me. 'Ana's Song' by Silverchair. 'Jeremy' by Pearl Jam.
Slickster Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 Metallica - "The Outlaw Torn" Black Sabbath - "Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener" Fucking depressing.
Corey_Lazarus Posted September 26, 2005 Report 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.
Paul Stanley Posted September 26, 2005 Report 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.
CanadianGuitarist Posted September 26, 2005 Report 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.
Coffin Surfer Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 "Goddamn the Sun"-The Swans One of the most sincere vocal performances I've ever heard. Not the faintest hint of hope can be found in this song, this is the void.
mw679 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 "Life By The Drop" - SRV. Just Stevie and an acoustic guitar, makes me wish he was still alive making music.
Epic Reine Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 "Emotion Sickness" by Silverchair "Changes" Black Sabbath
LJSexay Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 emotion sickness is AWESOME. Transatlanticism by Death Cab for Cutie is a heart-thumper.
Masked Man of Mystery Posted September 27, 2005 Report 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.

yankovic fan Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 "Time to Say Goodbye" by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli
Guest Samantha Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 "Emotion Sickness" by Silverchair <{POST_SNAPBACK}> An absolutely amazing song. 'Bother' by Stone Sour is also quite sad.
CanadianChick Posted September 29, 2005 Report 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.
Positively Kanyon Posted September 29, 2005 Report 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.
Ravenbomb Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 "Hurt" by Johnny Cash "Mad World" by Gary Jules "The Shortest Story" by Harry Chapin
Guest The Iron Yuppie Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 The Eels - "Novocaine for the Soul" Pearl Jam - "Black"
Carnival Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 Acid Bath "Scream of the Butterfly" - lead singer's girl was raped and inpregnanted by rapist, she tried a homemade abortion with a coat hanger and killed herself, he walks in and finds her dead on the bathroom floor. Cage "Stripes" - about his dad, a miltary cop/herion junkie who beat him and his mother and almost killed them.

Yeah I doubt that "Acid Bath" has the saddest song ever to its credit

Bruiser Chong Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 Looking back in this thread, I find myself hoping Deon is a gimmick poster.
The Czech Republic Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 Nah, he's just sort of a mook
krease Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 The Sarah Polley cover of "Courage" (originally by Tragically Hip). The first time I heard it was during a funeral, and listening to it, it fits.
