Maud Posted April 15, 2005 Report Posted April 15, 2005 Depressing? Try damien Rice.. I even start to cry when I hear his voice..
Aunt_Acid Posted April 15, 2005 Report Posted April 15, 2005 The entire album A Momentary Lapse of Reason is very depressing, I think.
crazygirl200890 Posted April 17, 2005 Report Posted April 17, 2005 it's pathetic that i listen to robbie williams, but i do, and the song supreme i think is one of the saddest songs i've ever heard. failing that, my friends by the red hot chilis.
Foxy Posted April 17, 2005 Report Posted April 17, 2005 Depressing? Try damien Rice.. I even start to cry when I hear his voice.. Me too Maud. I'm not sure whether I'm crying because the lyrics are touching, or whether I just find the melody depressing..
johnnyguitar Posted April 17, 2005 Report Posted April 17, 2005 The Blower's Daughter is a gorgeous song....but, if you can speak a bit of Finnish the last track is a killer....definitely the saddest song I've ever heard....
blind-fitter Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 no, no, no, people who think the smiths are depressing are missing the point entirely, the smiths are hilarious! look at the song titles, and listen hard to the lyrics, there's a lot of humour there, You're absolutely right. It never ceases to amaze me that people find the Smiths / Morrissey depressing: he's one of the most humourous lyricists of "his generation", as anybody who took the trouble might discover, rather than just repeating all the familiar, ill-informed "Smiths=depressing" cliches. And I'm not a Smiths devotee, before anybody thinks I'm just being precious here.
invisible_r Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 there is humour there, but they have some very depressing songs! what about "asleep"? it's about death and suicide! what about "heaven knows i'm miserable now"?
blind-fitter Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 The Smiths : Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now (lyrics) I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job, and then I found a job And heaven knows I'm miserable now In my life Why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die ? Two lovers entwined pass me by And heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job, and then I found a job And heaven knows I'm miserable now In my life Oh, why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die ? What she asked of me at the end of the day Caligula would have blushed "You've been in the house too long" she said And I (naturally) fled In my life Why do I smile At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye ? I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I'm miserable now "You've been in the house too long" she said And I (naturally) fled In my life Why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die ? So what's so miserable about that? If you break it down verse by verse, I can't see many sentiments expressed here that are difficult for anybody to relate to, (with possible exception of the reference to Caligula)It seems to be more about ennui and resentment than genuine despair. Pretty lightweight "everyday" stuff. It's got pathos, but ...depressing? Nah.
jman14141414 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 Hurt-Nine Inch Nails I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hold The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything [Chorus:] What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I am still right here [Chorus:] What have I become My ssweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt If I could start again A million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way

Nah. well maybe that was a bad example but you can't dictate how people interpret songs! maybe they are more about resentment, but if you are in the "right" state of mind, they might feel depressing.
katie_sane Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 'Alone Again, Naturally' by Gilbert O' Sullivan is very, very depressing. Beautiful song, but so sad.
edna Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 'Alone Again, Naturally' by Gilbert O' Sullivan is very, very depressing. Beautiful song, but so sad. That´s the most depressing of them all... and beautiful too, yes. Now if you really want to be depressed, get "Berlin", Lou Reed, and listen to the whole album.
The Seeker Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 Did anyone mention the Hollie's He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother yet? It's too much for me to read through the whole topic. Anyway that's a depressing song, always makes me feel sad.
Bella Posted November 29, 2005 Report Posted November 29, 2005 Glycerine by Bush always makes me feel sad
lonelyday Posted November 30, 2005 Report Posted November 30, 2005 Go To The Mirror Boy by the Who really depressed me the other day, well i'm not sure if depressed is the right word, but I was in a really strange mood, it was something to do with the slow, soft, melancholy sound of it.
blind-fitter Posted December 16, 2005 Report Posted December 16, 2005 They don't come much more depressed than this.... "Depressed Christmas" by Culturecide (mumbled and murmured to the tune of "White Christmas") I'm having a depressed Christmas Just like the one I had last year. My slit wrist glistens, as I listen To the last Christmas song I'll ever hear. I'm having a depressed Christmas, With this last letter that I write. May your days be merry and bright, And may all your Christmases be white.
Carl Posted December 17, 2005 Report Posted December 17, 2005 I have a whole CD of depressing Christmas music. Stuff like "Who took the merry out of Christmas" by The Staple Singers and "Purple Snowflakes" by Marvin Gaye. Ouch. I agree that Damien Rice has some unbelieveably moving songs that usually make me feel sad. The weird thing with him is that I often have no idea what he's singing about and I feel sad anyway. The producers of the movie Closer figured this out when they used "The Blowers Daughter." The song that tears me up is "Taxi" by Harry Chapin. You have 2 people who gave up on their dreams, and to me, that's horribly depressing.
MuzikTyme Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 "I'm Gettin' Nuttin For Christmas"...so sad. I remember crying the first time I listened to Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. A true tear-jerker... and I still miss Grandma to this day...
ledjam9 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 I Got Id by Pearl Jam Basically the person in the song is really depressed, something I like to mope to.
