Title: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: AndyC on September 27, 2010, 05:43:24 AM I think we've touched on this in discussions of worst songs and treacly, sentimental songs, but I don't think we've explored it directly. Which songs do we find just really depressing? They can be songs we hate, songs we like, even songs that are not overtly gloomy, but really depressing on close examination.
I'll start with the song that inspired this thread, which I heard playing in a restaurant during lunch the other day. 1. Terry Jacks - Seasons in the Sun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd_Fdly3rX8 Probably the gloomiest song ever to have "joy" and "fun" as two of its most repeated lyrics. Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: Mr. DS on September 27, 2010, 07:08:24 AM 2.) Kansas - Dust In The Wind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH2w6Oxx0kQ Aka we are just a speck of sand in the universe. Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: Jack on September 27, 2010, 07:11:44 AM Let's see you top this one:
3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwBirf4BWew Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: AndyC on September 27, 2010, 07:31:15 AM 2.) Kansas - Dust In The Wind [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH2w6Oxx0kQ[/url] Aka we are just a speck of sand in the universe. I was planning to post that one next. Just about the most depressing rock song I know. :cheers: Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: Sleepyskull on September 27, 2010, 07:42:07 AM 4. Christmas Shoes - Newsong I absolutely loathe this song!

qpxHzZ11qLo I can only take evanescence in small doses, too much and I want to open a vein. :teddyr: Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: bloodkrishna on September 27, 2010, 09:27:50 AM 6. Anathema - Lost Control
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGTeNwt1BMY&feature=related I hate depressive music anyway, here's one of the most depressing song I ever heard Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: AndyC on September 27, 2010, 10:26:14 AM 7. Gilbert O'Sullivan - Alone Again (Naturally)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhQgta94IG8&feature=related Without a doubt, the bounciest, catchiest song ever written about a guy planning to jump off a building. I especially like how he spreads out from being stood up at his wedding and abandoned by everyone, to include the totally unrelated story of his father's death and his mother grieving until her own death. And then, having described all this sadness so matter-of-factly, he just stops. Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: Mr. DS on September 27, 2010, 10:30:48 AM 8.) Harry Nilsson - Without You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTMY_idZcjY The pain of one leaving is great to Mr. Nilsson. You can actually feel the pain in his voice. Quote I was planning to post that one next. Just about the most depressing rock song I know. I recall a Family Guy episode where Peter wonders around town in a montage in a sad mood to the song. Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: Mr. DS on September 27, 2010, 11:05:02 AM 9.) NIN - Down In It
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrcTsxs-anU Very up tempo and catchy song about losing one's self. 10.) Metallica - Fade To Black http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEQnzs8wl6E Kind of overly melodramatic, almost to the point of being funny. 11.) Sarah McLauglan - When Somebody Loved Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px0j1EHF8Y0 This one rips out my heart and stomps on it because I think of Jessie in Toy Story 2. I can hardly watch the above clip without getting misty eyed. My four year old knows the song word for word and sings it a lot. Luckily I can control my emotions when hearing it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSwL9deXNW8 15. American Pie (The Day the Music Died) - Don McLean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAsV5-Hv-7U Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: Mr. DS on September 27, 2010, 08:47:31 PM 16.) Don Henley - Boys Of Summer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeNmZ1-Svzc I hear this song and simply think this time of year...the sad end of summer. :bluesad: 17.) Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVeaIHWWck Breaktaking yet so melancholy. Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: Chainsawmidget on September 28, 2010, 11:30:42 AM 18. In the Year 2525 by Zager & Evans
and no, I won't post a link to it. I refuse to listen to that song and will change the station whenever it comes on. Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: Mr. DS on September 28, 2010, 12:33:35 PM 19.) NIN - Hurt

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWaCnBKSJGA Doesn't suck my will to live like say, Dust in the Wind, but still pretty much a downer. More of a sweet sadness though. Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: 10,000 Volt Ghost on September 30, 2010, 10:00:13 AM No 28) Millencolin - The Ballad

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U2K1ski728 Let me explain- When this album came out, I always listened to it, then Katrina hit, and even though I was still listening it (I was in Houston), this song always makes me cry as I remember those 4 3/4 months I wasn't in NOLA :bluesad: Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: InformationGeek on October 02, 2010, 05:51:56 PM 36. I Can't Stop Loving You by Ray Charles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5FpVZw6rSs I apologize. This is the only video that had the right verison of the song I was looking for. The only verisons I could find were the ending of Metropolis and that had everything else playing over the song. Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: Mr. DS on October 02, 2010, 07:25:40 PM 37.) Kenny Rogers - Lucille (you B!TCH, you SL*T, you WH*RE!!!)

Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: AndyC on October 04, 2010, 10:24:07 AM 19.) NIN - Hurt The JC version really makes me sad...lyrics seems to fit him at that point in his life. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o22eIJDtKho[/url] Funny, I just recently found a funny video using that very song. A guy who thought it might be convenient to get his head waxed instead of shaving it every day. http://www.videosurf.com/video/head-waxing-83428934?vlt=ffext&vlt_position=rightrail (http://www.videosurf.com/video/head-waxing-83428934?vlt=ffext&vlt_position=rightrail) And yes, I found this because I had the same idea, or rather my wife's hairdresser suggested it. But after watching about a dozen similar videos, I'll stick to shaving. :teddyr: Pity though, the results do look good. I will say to this guy's credit that he got through the whole process, and handled the pain a lot more calmly than most of the others.

Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: Derf on October 05, 2010, 10:54:48 AM I'm not sure I count this one as depressing as much as just sad (there is a difference to me), but I think this (and several other) Hank Williams songs deserve mention

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOFGa_4quiU This song always makes me sad.

Anyway, Marks is a Christian Music artist, but don't let that fool you, the song doesn't really have anything to do with religion (at least not that I can see). It's just a very, VERY sad story. If you want to read the lyrics, you can click here: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Christian-Music-2785/2008/4/song-1.htm (http://en.allexperts.com/q/Christian-Music-2785/2008/4/song-1.htm) I warn ya though, even without the music it's a pretty sad story, more so cause it happens a lot I'm sure.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTT2jLf26qQ Most of Moevot's material is very dark or depressing. I personally consider this instrumental piece to be one of the most depressing musical compositions that has ever been written. It's almost as if it takes you in to a whole new realm of advanced sorrow. 89) Obscura Monotomia Animae-Chante D'eternite I and II (Moevot cover) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSy3DsIXFEY Take both of Moevot's "Chantes", add a gregorian twist and you get this. Truly some dark stuff. Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: InformationGeek on January 25, 2011, 10:03:15 PM 90. Prince Ali (Reprise)
I pick it as depressing because at this point we have Jafar finally defeating the hero and rubbing it in his face as he reveals Aladdin's true identity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_FguEpJ3fo Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: Nukie 2 on January 26, 2011, 01:08:07 AM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPJtsI74xow

Run Joey Run- David Geddes
(The song doesn't really depress me; I just change the channel) Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: diamondwaspvenom on February 04, 2011, 08:49:07 AM 94) Stevie Wonder-They Won't Go When I Go
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5tT3JS4myE 95) Samuel Barber-Adagio for Strings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dPDO3Tfab0 Supposedly the saddest piece of music ever written. I definitely believe that. Remember earlier when I said that Moevot's music takes you into another realm of sorrow? Take those feelings and multiply them by a million and you get Adagio for Strings.

This doesn't have the lyrics, here's a sample: Blue, blue, my love is blue Blue is my world now I'm without you Grey, grey, my life is grey Cold is my heart since you've gone away Depressing, no? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_b6xaVvgeM Title: Re: 100 Most Depressing Songs Post by: Mr. DS on February 04, 2011, 10:09:46 PM Surprised this one hasn't been brought up...
