The most sad/depressing song?

Recommended Posts

"Needle in the Hay" by Elliot Smith. Mostly because of how they use it in the movie, "The Royal Tennenbaums"[:/]

Edit to add most songs on Pink Moon by Nick Drake. Not because they both killed themselves but you could feel their misery after listening.

John Cash's version of Hurt by NIN.

Not only is that a sad song to begin with, Mr. Cash's version is very haunting.



He was such a perfect artist to cover that song.

The first time I heard his cover, I was half asleep on the couch (and probably half drunk), with the tv still going... So the next day I kept trying to figure out if I had really heard Johnny Cash doing a NIN song or if it was a dream... and I really wasn't sure til I heard it again later.

He also does a beautiful version of the Beatles' "In My Life" on that same album. :)

Pretty much anything by either of those guys is really sad.

My choice is "Forget Her" by Jeff Buckley.

Hurt by NIN is a good one too.

Definitely one of my top 3, with the other two being:

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by the Beatles, and "My Immortal" by Evanessence.:|

This is true. How about "Sea Anenome" by jets to brazil



I've actually never really listened to that album though I have it on my hard drive. I just listened to that song now and it's alright but I'm not really in the best mood right now to analyze a new song. I always liked their Perfecting Loneliness album and the title track for that album is sorta sad I guess.

I cry almost everytime I hear that song.

God as for more songs...I could come up with a long list. [:/]


The original version is much betterB|

Here's two more for you, I'd be very surprised if anybody heard these, but you'd all be very surprised you hadn't heard them if you knew how good they are:

Legendary - Lou Barlow
Think (Let Tomorrow Bee) - Sebadoh (essentially Lou Barlow also!)

There's another world inside of me
That you may never see
There's secrets in this life
That I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away...
Maybe I'm just blind...

Maybe I'm just blind...

[chorus]
So hold me when I'm here
Love me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything you need
I'll also be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Love me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone
[end chorus]

Love me when I'm gone...

When your education x-ray
Can not see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing
That I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness
I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone

[chorus]

Maybe I'm just blind...

[chorus]

Love me when I'm gone...

Love me when I'm gone
When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone
HAVE FUN...
...JUST DONT DIE

Anything by Leonard Cohen[:/]

John Cale - Hallelujah

Yes, it was in the Shrek soundtrack.

Inronically, and not unrelated, it (or some variation of it) is quite popular in many christian congregations.

:D:DOh THAT IS FUNNY!!!


hmmmmm...depressing songs:

How 'bout "Ben" you know that song about the rat that became Michael Jackson's best friend.

I feel so sad for that little rat[:/] I think he dies or sump'n



I'll bet it was rat-suicide. Would you want to be a pet of Michael Jackson's that was small enough to be put up his ass? :DB|

Okay, my votes for saddest songs (and if you all know these songs and don't agree, then you're made of stone! :D:

"Painters" - Jewel
"Adrian" - Jewel
"My Beloved Wife" - Natalie Merchant
"River" - Natalie Merchant
"Forever Young" - Alphaville

It's hard to admit, as a guy, but any of those songs can bring tears to my eyes, especially "Painters". (Kills me that I can't find that danged CD, too! Sometimes I crave hearing that song. Oh, it's also a really poignant love song, not just a sad song, you know.)
