What are the saddest or most depressing songs you have heard.

Here is a list of songs i listen to when i'm down n' out.
1.Moby - My Weakness
2.This Mortal Coil - Song To the Siren
3.Staind - Epiphany
4.Bush - Letting the Cables Sleep
5.Finch - Without you here
6.Oasis - Stop Crying your heart out
7.Snow patrol - run
8.Tantric - Mourning
9.Thrice - Trust
10.Johhny Cash - Hurt

This isn't the most depressing i've heard but still a great song anyway.

HIM - For You

"In the grace of your love i writhe in pain"

4AM - Our Lady Peace....try that one..

"and if i don't make it , know that, I loved you all along."

Gaspard de la nuit: Le Gibet By Maurice Ravel.

Its a slow, solo piano classical piece written to go with a poem.
The poem is about someone being hanged for his crimes.
There is noone to be with him (or even watch) while he dies.
He just hangs there watching his last sunrise(or maybe it was sunset) is silence save for the a that rings over and over again.

Im not too big on classicals (except for Carmina Burana) But it moved me alot.:shk:

my two pics for this topic would have to be

Suicide note - Johnette Napolitano

and

Bother - Corey Taylor


both of those songs just tear at you..........

(however, once listening to these I immediately switch on the Mudvayne or System of a Down.. always pick me up again!)

Aw man! No one's mentioned Cat's In The Cradle yet by Harry Chapin.....Talk about one damn depressing song!! :w:

I guess that depends what you want to be sad about.
It also depends a bit on experience I suppose.

If you wanted to hate yourself and your life I would suggest Green Day- Macy's Day Parade

If it's about a girl- well take your pick. You don't really need music to help with that. The Streets- Dry Your Eyes certainly does the trick though. You might also try Catch 22- Christina

If you want to see Vagabond wallow in self pity while longing for better days gone by, well I'm not 100% sure of the title but I'll guess Staind- It's been a while. Reminds me of my drill instructors. I miss boot sometimes.

And my personal least favorite (and i'm guessing at the title again) Green Day- Loss for words. That's my "I lost at shooting craps and my pride is deeply injured" song.

12 Stones - Bitter pill,
its a sad song, really depressing

The mist depressing song i have ever heard is a song by cold called Check Please, its one of their B sides and its really,really depressing.

Well I think Trent Reznor beat me to it. (a number of NIN fans here it seems). I was going to mention "The Great Below" and "Adrift and at Peace" by NIN. Both very lovely and sad songs.

Funny that I also just made a sig using some lyrics from the upcoming NIN album. I Can't wait till it's out!

Stan-Eminem

...Just kidding.
I used to think it was sad, now i think its just sad.
(bad pun ussage there)

the downward spiral , nin

Baby Blue by George Strait (about his daughter who died in a car crash)
Last Song by Elton John (about a son who has AIDS, and his father)
Sorry Seems To Be the Hardest Word by Elton John
Against All Odds by Phil Collins (my personal favorite)
The Dance by Garth Brooks
Wishing You Were Here by Chicago

Man I could go on forever with this list!

Peace

Hurt-NIN(tool, APC, and NIN kick ass!!!!)
Brave new world- Iron maiden
Fade to black -metallica
Who do u believe in-tupac
none of that gay emo crap is depressing it just makes me laugh

He Stopped Loving Her Today- George Jones
Riding With Private Malone- David Ball (I start to tear up everytime I listen to it)
The Good Stuff- Kenny Chesney (my mom cried the first time she heard it)

These are sad songs... but maybe just tearjerkers..but I like them
