Most depressing tune Evah!?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

For a person who actually suffers from depression, that line is anything but soothing. It describes the process by which you cease to care about everything that ever mattered to you - everything that ever gave you pleasure, as well as the things that gave you pain - until you don't even care about whether you live or die. :|
Very well put, Anthea...
..and basically, I agree.

On that other hand is the point:
There is that something that you just can't hold, that may be the fundament of your entire little world, but it simply falls to dust. The very source of your picture of how the world works and where there's shelter and all. Your home and your parents, for example. (read: My home, my parents, or in the order of father-mother-home) to begin with.
If you never learn to let the impact of those personal disasters fade in the distance, in other words care less about moving away from the actual time and space where those were around, you'll never get over the loss, you'll never live on. That's why I think of that line as an optimistical one. A very sad one, nonetheles, but a one that at a second thought has a spark of good in it.

A twisted idea, I know.
Just to chime in at this point, I find the whole "Disintegration" is of course, STUPIDLY melancholy, but for me there's a little pinch of acceptance in there, especially on the title track

See? The fact that you bought it. That's depressing.

it was free, along with jive bunny and loads of other cool stuff the record shop used to give me ;D
That's no excuse. What are you planning to do to make it up to the British public?

Hmm, worrying.

I actually love the Tears For Fears version (apart from the fact they use those bloody plastic "Just Can't Get Enough" trumpets at one point :urff: )... but what was good about that choon was the way they made it a fairly cheerful sounding pop song, even though its content was pretty miserable. Slowing it down and making it into a ballad like Gary Jules did just makes it mawkish to the point of being funny. Unless you're feeling really miserable, in which case it will make you want to top yourself. Either way nobody wins.

There is or was no good reason for any tit to go and make Daft World any more of a bummer than the original, I blame all this Emo cobblers on them. Kunts!

Anything featuring an appearance by Tiny Talent, or whatever his name is.

An obvious choice, I concede, but honest none the less.

Bobby McFerrin.

Here's the vid...

And the lyrics:


Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Lood at me I am happy
Don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me
I make you happy
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got not girl to make you smile
But don't worry be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy (now).....

There is this little song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
But when you worry
You make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Don't worry don't do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry, it will soon past
Whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy

IZ.
