Your most depressing song?

[The_Flying_Egg]

Gary Jules's cover of Mad World

I'll second that. I'd also add:

May Angels Lead You In - Jimmy Eat World
Say Hello to Heaven - Temple of the Dog
Heyfoxymophandlemama Thats Me - Pearl Jam

 

[Mastablingbling]

SFK version??

Something for Kate...both bands covered one of the others songs about 8 years back - released it as like a double single or something IIRC. Check your PM.

Add to that The Offspring - Gone Away...strikes a personal chord with me.

Hit's close to home.

 

[Schism]

Neil Young - The needle and the damage done. Cos that hits close to home as well. I find alot of depressing songs have the reverse effect on me, especially doom/post metal. Dunno why. Maybe because the message in so many depressing songs, in the end, is that you have to soldier on, and don't lose hope.

It's My life - Bon Jovi

Not the popular one though. If anybody has heard the "This left feels right" album, its on that. That album has all accoustic versions of Bon Jovis songs. It's My life on this album could so be a funeral song, its just so heart wrenching.

 

[Brittany]

Slide Away - Michael Hutchence and Bono
To Look At You - INXS
Untitled - The Cure
Faith -The Cure

I do have more - I just can't think atm

'Godly', only if monotonous repetition is your thing!

Personally I like music that has dynamics, artistry, musicianship and musicality...

Not quite depressing, but I always found Billy Joel's "Pressure" somewhat unsettling as a kid.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

The End - The Doors

 

[nathansb]

The End - The Doors

Was just going to post this.
The saddest part is almost how accepting he is of the end ... used beautifully in the 'cow sacrifice' scene of Apocalypse Now, as well as the intro.
