most favorite depressing song would have to be the "i love you,you love me" song at the end of barney heh

Any song sung by Moresy.

The The, Kingdom of Rain

Led Zeppelin - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You

Buncha stuff off Beatles White Album
Julia, Happiness is a Warm Gun, I'm So Tired, etc.

Radiohead - Exit Music
Coldplay - Clocks
The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
Grateful Dead - Althea

Some songs are depressing simply because of the emotional attachment we have to places, people, and events we associate with that song.

Happy Birthday

bash wrote:Happy Birthday

You know, in the back of my mind i was wondering when someone would post that.

Angel- Sarah Mclachlan
Waterboys- She is so beutiful (great song with a kick in the lyric at the end--i can't figure out the chords though to play it)

She is so beautiful
I've got no words to describe
The way she makes me feel inside
I'm flying solo
As free as light as a bird
yet I could lay my wings down in a moment
To guard and comfort her
She is so beautiful
light-filled, loving and wise
Laughter dancing in her eyes
all my road is before me
And I never did plan on a wife
yet she's the most beatiful soul
I ever have met in this life
For she is like a song
she is like a ray of light
She is like children pRaying
like harps and bells and cymbals playing
And she is like a wind
moving, soothing, bringing joy
And here am I, destroyed
she is so beautiful
I don't know what I'm going to do when I leave
except grieve

No Rain - Blind Melon
You Ought To Know - Alanis Morisette
Under The Bridge - RHCP
I walk the line - Johny Cash
Me & Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin

sneakerpimps - 6underground

Emiliana Torrini - Gollum's Song (from The Two Towers soundtrack)

"Amsterdam", from PfR's "Disappear" album

'Run' by Snow Patrol
'Infection' by Chihiro Onitsuka

Not sure if these will make anyone else's list, but I don't like TRULY, Monumentally depressing songs... so here goes:

Pink Floyd - "Time"
Pink Floyd - "Wish You Were Here"
Tool - "Sober"
Jane's Addiction - "Jane Says"

And for that perky, existential kind of depressing, I like Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner" (in small, rare doses)

by "etc", I assume you mean While my guitar gently weeps -- btw, which contains some of the best lead guitar work of all time.

Ah I knew I forgot one really big one.

Amazing Grace (on bagpipes)
Taps

I usually play the piano when I'm in the mood.

But I will second Merlin with Pink Floyd and Great Gig In The Sky. When I'm happy (and alone) I find myself figuring out how high my voice can go on that song

However, if I'm down there's a reason for it. I tend to keep listening to the same song over and over, and after a few times that song is irreversibly associated with whatever I was thinking of at the moment. So my CD collection is a personal state of mind archive. Or something.

I don't know why, but any Bob Seger song can make me cry....

Yeah, Bob Seger makes me cry too.

Bobby Goldsboro - In the Spring of My Life
