Sounds like someone used to be emo...






:biggrin:

led-babe, i'm gonna leave you
led-d'yer m'aker
evanescence(sp?)-hello
bush-letting the cables sleep
chevelle-point #1
APC-peace love and understanding
'stones-paint it, black
the zombies-she's not there
the who-behind blue eyes
slipknot-vermilion, pt. 2
stone sour-bother
APC-blue(bird shake mix)

not in any order. some are better than others. i don't know what depresses you, so i came up with some generic ones. i can give you way more of them if you need.
so top 3 on that list
-peace love and understanding
-hello
-letting the cables sleep

that's all without repeating anything previously mentioned.

wow, a lot of this is faster than i expected. this is a lot of help.
looks like damien has a playlist for this. just messin with ya.

i guess you can say what gets me deressed is songs like
usher -burn
frankie j -how to deal
babyface - what if
limp bizkit - boiler

etc....

and its not illegal, its napster, the new one.....as my friend has their service.

Oh dang..I didn't hit up my hip-hop/R&B/rap music...oh well.

Yeah, some Chevelle and the like songs i think are but they're a little heavy. Not emo, just have a lot of music and I know all of it. Got music always going.

A sadder counrty song is "Whiskey Lullaby" by Brad Paisely and Alison Krauss.
Otherwise maybe "Where'd you go" by Fort Minor.

Oh, and I definately think "Tears in Heaven" would be a top choice. Especially with the story that goes with it.

Linkin Park maybe?

The Wall disc 1-Pink Floyd (One of my Turns, Don't Leave me Now some examples)?
disc 2- Hey You is kinda, yet good, comfortably numb same way

Bill Withers- Ain't no Sunshine

Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah (as sung by John Cale or Jeff Buckley)

Can't believe no one's posted that yet.

Most Cure songs...

Brooks&Dunn- Neon Moon
Jason Aldean-Asphault Cowboy
Jason Aldean-LonesomeUSA
Jason Aldean-Even If I Wanted To
That's all I can think of right now. To me pretty much if it aint country it aint music.

depressing in what context?

sinead o'conner - nothing compares to you
john lennon - imagine
johnny cash - hurt (cover)
annie lennox - why

First song that came to my mind when I read the thread title was , "Seasons In The Sun" by Terry Jacks from the early '70s.

Nothing is more depressing than Tears in Heaven

I dunno, I get happy when I hear it, since I'm a guy who doesn't listen to the lyrics.

:nutkick:

Seriously though, I just listened to Tears in Heven myself, and man...

*cuts his wrists*

you don't get many songs more depressing than Hurt by Johnny Cash.

...i'm wondering how many really do get tearing eyed over grunge guitar music...

R.E.M: i'll give you three guess which song...

Everybody Hurts?

and you can have the prize soggy biscuit

is it a chocolate soggy biscuit?

Sheesh!

Hurt by Johnny Cash - that's a Nine Inch Nails cover...:eek:

Try playing the 'Murder Ballads' by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds whilst you are snowed in a Chalet for 3 days... though the Orpheus concept album would do and watch the cabin fever get to the weakest links in the chain...:nono:

Seriously though some less obvious...

'Last Goodbye' by Jeff Buckley from 'Grace' Album
'Fade into You' by Mazzy Star from 'So Tonight that I might see'
'Polyester Bride' by Liz Phair from 'whitechocolatespaceegg'
'Wandering Star' by Portishead from Dummy (although Glory Box would suffice)
'1979' by Smashing Pumpkins from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
'Me and a Gun' by Tori Amos - a song about her rape
'No Aphrodisiac' by The Whitlams off 'Eternal Nightcap' or alternatively 'Last of the Teenage Lovers' off Torch the Moon
'My Friend' by Groove Armada from 'Goodbye Country..."
'Running to Stand' by U2 from Joshua Tree

I hasten to note anything from Alanis Morrisette but after being dragged along to one of her concerts by three girls including my then g/f - who needed me to get in 4 free (don't ask) - and then standing up the very front with about 150 pairs of firm, perky and teenage breasts pressed against me I spent the concert with this idiotic grin...
:evillol:

Something that the g/f at the time noticed... and when questioned about it I replied that I may as well enjoy something about the concert...
:naughty:

^I stayed away from Alanis Morrisette cause he wanted depressing not emo before emo. Can't say anything actually bad, I like her music. I skipped over too much...

o0o0o0oo Groove Aramada! Hands of Time is good. They played it in Collateral. Funny how they called it the classics, I believe.

Really smooth and good soul music. Hm...nvm. I ain't hitting up my jazz/blues, etc folder. Or anymore but I forgot Groove Armada. Had them somewhere else. Too much music...

i forgot 'fell on black days'.
it's one of my favorite songs ever.

Well I could add 'Ciao Baby' by The Cult for that matter... or Heroes by David Bowie as like 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins and The Flood by Peter Gabriel they have been played at Funerals for Friends or Tributes....

Music is contextual... Last Goodbye is one of my favourite songs but it's because that song is shared with someone who was very important at a stage in my life and may be again one day. There are others like 'Lullaby' by Starsailor from 'Love is Here' as well... or the fact that 'Cmon Eileen' by Boomtown Rats was playing one day when I put someone on a plane on an overseas flight... or I've heard American Pie by Don McLean so many times that I could snap if I hear it being sung like a screeching cat in a hessian sack with a bunch of horseshoes by some toneless chick dancing on her chair believing she's some diva...

Here's another one that everyone missed:

Last Kiss by they Cavaliers, or the cover that Pearl Jam did a few years back.

I was going to mention that but when I played it...idk.

Don't know if it's been posted, but....

My personal favorites:
Phil Collins - Take Me Home
Phil Collins - I Don't Care Anymore
Phil Collins - Against All Odds (Take A look at me Now)
Genesis - Throwing It All Away

Other favorites:
Sarah McLachlan - I will remember you (live version)
Alanis Morissette - You Learn
Celine Dion - Because you loved me
Celine Dion & R. Kelly - I'm Your Angel
Amy Grant - I Will Remember You (not the same as Sarah McLachlan's)
Amy Grant - That's what love is for
Janet Jackson - Come back to me
Brian McKnight - Back At One
Rod Stewart - Faith of the Heart
Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting
Lionel Richie - Stuck on You
Peabo Bryson & Linda Rhonstadt - Somewhere out there
Kid Rock - Lonely Road of Faith
Creed - My Sacrifice
Don Henley - End of the Innocence
Starship - Sara
Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky (this one still drives me to tears as it was something my dad, RIP 12-13-03, used to play the shit out of)
Mike and the Mechanics - The Living Years (again, a tear jerker for sure for anyone who's lost their dad over the years)

LeAnn Rhimes or Trisha Yearwood - How do I Live
Le Ann Womack - I Hope you Dance
Pink - just like a pill

A really good one that's probably unknown:

Rika Muranaka - I am the Wind
(If you're not familiar with this one, don't be surprised! It's kind of obscure, and it was only on a PS1 video game. I only remember it because it resembles my life so much)

I cant listen to PHIL COLLINS, something about his hair pisses me off.

EDIT:

Hey i know one. The song "I would walk 500 miles". This song has to be sad to a feller with no feet...
