Most Depressing Song... Ever! vol. 1

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.

Anything that Radiohead have done from "OK Computer"(1997) onwards.Everything's just so one-dimensional and utterly boring without any lack of excitement.And Yorke's vocal just gets me on my nerves.

Honey - Bobby Goldboro

and 'And the Band Played Waltzin' Matlida - The Pogues.... an absolutely stunning piece of social commentary

Eternal Father Strong to Save (For those in Peril on the sea) I can't sing that...my throat tightens when I get to save, whos arm doth calm the restless waves, have very rarely passed my lips tears are leaking by that second line....

Abide with Me is another one

"Broken Heart" by Spiritualized is another one where you never wanna get that low.

"And I'm wasting all my time
I'm gonna drink you right out of my mind"

Oh God, the effect that girl must have had on him.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

"24 hours" sure is depressing. But actually I find another Joy Division song the most depressing ever: "She's lost control"

Sorrow by Pink Floyd. But it's not 'sad' depressing, it's 'for chris sake turn it off' depressing.

Has anyone mentioned The Smiths yet? 'Asleep' has to be the worst for me:

"Sing me to sleep, sing me to sleep
I don't want to wake up on my own anymore..."

Ouch. :cry:

'Lights' is a bit of a downer too.

Thou shalt not speak ill of The Smiths.


Depressed = The Cure

Purely for medicinal purposes.

I won't go on... I will say..out of all the bands out there, the only one who gets me to cry...

The Cure.


Robert Smith is a genius. He taps into emotion like no one else...he makes you feel it too.

I love him.

Songs of Faith and Devotion by Depeche Mode. The last five tracks (once it would have been the B-side, I guess) just pile it up and up until Higher Love wrenches my heart. One of my favourite albums, but I daren't listen while I'm driving :oops:

I associate Elgar's Cello Concerto very closely with a now-deceased ex-girlfriend, so that doesn't do a lot for me. Same applies to Losing my Religion by REM and House of Love's Shine On, associated with a very close friend.

The Smiths: great for wallowing in self-pity, Last Night I Dreamt that Somebody Loved Me is a real downer.

Tindersticks' second album, for a while, after I'd left uni and was really hating the directionless mess my life briefly became.

In the more distant past a couple of slightly embarrassing ones: Dancing with tears in my eyes and the truly woeful I Wanna Know What Love it (Foreigner :oops: ). I do apologise.

Pretty much nothing released in the past five years. Is this because I'm getting happier or just more insensitive? Perhaps this is the strange thing they call "growing up" /shudder/.

(Don't you) forget about me - Simple Minds.

Twice I've waved off girlfriends, once at an airport and once at a railway station - once forever and once for a fortnight - and felt devatstated and back in the car the radio played this Simple Minds song, on both occasions. I never listen to it deliberately but it's still part of the soundtrack of my life I guess. So, there.
