The whole Evanesecence (may of spelt it wrong) range of music is very depressing. If you sit and listen to the lyrics they are really upsetting.

Sorry Icey, but Evanwhatever sucks. I have listened to too much of her and as far as I can tell it's way too contrived, way too over the top melodrama, way to pop to be taken seriously. But that's just how I feel. What else do have to suggest?

Gloomy Sunday

Explorer

I wasn't making suggestions to what to listen to, just what IMO I thought was depressing. I can think of quite a few songs from various artists but I have no idea what music genre you like.

Eva Cassidy sings some real heart wrenchers.... but also a few upbeat numbers too. Sounds like you need the best of both worlds right now (?)

I jugde the music by it's maker not what people think it sounds like. So, fire away.

Tea for One - Led Zep , brilliant Electric Blues by the English Maestro's of White Mans Blues.

Tea For One

How come twenty four hours

Baby sometimes seem to slip into days?

Oh twenty-four hours

Baby sometimes seem to slip into days

When a minute seems like a lifetime

Ooh baby when I feel this way

Sittin, lookin at the clock

Oh time moves so slow

I've been watchin for the hands to move

Until I just can't look no more

How come twenty four hours

Baby sometimes seems to slip into days

A minute seems like a lifetime

Baby when I feel this way

To sing a song for you

I recall you used to say

"Oh baby this one's for we two"

Which in the end is you anyway

How come twenty four hours

Baby sometimes slip into days?

A minute seems like a lifetime

Oh baby when I feel this way

There was a time that I stood tall

In the eyes of other men

But by my own choice I left you woman

And now I can't get back again

How come twenty-four hours

Sometimes slip into days?

Well well well

A minute seems like a lifetime

Baby when I feel this way

A minute seems like a lifetime

Oh baby

When I feel this way...I feel this way

Accompanied by the best blues guitar solo ever played (IMO).

The thing about blues is , when you really get it , it will lift you out of the dumps and make you feel better.

Has anyone listened to the album 'Berlin' by Lou Reed? It's from the 70s and is the story of boy meets girl, they marry, have a child who dies, then the girl kills herself, then the narrator misses her etc. Dear God, it's the most depressing thing I've ever heard.

Leonard Cohen and Morrissey would be proud to write something so mind-numbingly downbeat.

Morrissey comes to mind in a major way.

Grandad - Clive Dunne

Chonabot-That's a good one man, great song.

Sadman-Lou Reed is one of my faves. His Perfect Day song is truely depressing but a great work art.

I think I need to listen to more Morrissey. I can't recall any songs of his , but people always say he is really good.

Loser by Beck

maybe out of date song ,,, nor un popular ..but i love them

Rockwell - Cuts like a knife

MLTR - that's why you go away

Guns N' Roses -November Rain

Grandad - Clive Dunne   

That's not a sad record - it's a criminal record.

"The Closest Thing to Crazy" - Katie Melua

Another vote for Morrissey here also some of Nick Cave's can be quite haunting and sad

The Cure can be quite depressing too.

There's a song by Lou Reed in the mid-Seventies, was it on the 'Berlin' album?, where he sings:'Somebody else would have broken both her arms' and 'It's so cold in Alaska'- suicide material, thank god the Thais never conceive of composing such nonsense.

Joy Division often had you searching round the house for a Noose Still liked alot of what they did though

The Cure can be quite depressing too.

Love The Cure!

Nin Something I can never have. That's a a depressing song.

Gray would the color if I had a heart.

Composr Albinoni Adagio in G minor, that's THE suicide song.

"Everybody Hurts" : REM

Sadd-ish!?

... when I was 21, it was a very good year ... (Sinatra)

Link: Time to say goodbye... (Con Te Partiro)

Mr Blobby song was pretty &lt;deleted&gt; sad..

totster

IMHO , it depends on mood in that time when we listen a song, when we have broken heart ..any song is sad

well

That's why you go away - MLTR

Cut likes a Knife

November rain

I started a joke

etc ....

Bambi

Natalie Merchant's Tigerlily album is very good but depressing. Most espeacially the song Beloved Wife.

Honey by Bobby Goldsborough

"I'm not in love" by 10cc.

its a beautiful tune , the arrangement and production are first rate and that tends to distract from the lyrics which are evocative and sad and will bring floods of tears to the recently jilted.

Sarah Mclachlan's Angel. Now that's a sad one.
