Most depressing song ever?

[LordMaul]

I dunno exactly, but "I'm Alright" by Twiztid is so damn mellow and depressingly convincing that it always seems like you just want to cut your wrists if they would just stop sounding so sad.

"Everybody Hurts" - REM
"For What It's Worth" - Buffalo Springfield (the song about the kent state massacre)

 

[Balt]

"Everybody Hurts" - REM

I wish you hadn't mentioned that song. It just happened to come on the radio when I was leaving one of the most incredible people I had ever met in my life.

Depressing, indeed.

I hope you mean the Gary Jules cover and not the Tears for Fears original.

Haunting piano > cheesy 80s

Pearl Jam made the song more depressing. The way it was meant to be.

Uhm isn't there a song where if you listen to it supposedly you go and kill yourself afterwards?

Soundtrack to The Ring?

No, but a lot of people did die after seeing that movie, just because they killed themselves because it FSCKING SUCKED

The album Alina, by Arvo Pärt.
OTOH, I don't think that any ATOTer has heard this.

Oh, and for the record, Live - Overcome has always moved me to tears. I don't know if I would call it depressing, though. That's the 9/11 song.

LOL!

The Aric Clapton song "Tears in Heaven" is pretty depressing, but i like Eva Cassidy's rendition of "Time After Time"

Also Phil Collins, "Paradise"

Good call. I heard that song by chance after my last breakup, listening to the Live and Loud cds and it tore at me.

I won't go ahead and name the most depressing song ever, because that will be different for every person based on their life experiences and stuff. For me it's probbably Something I Can Never Have by NIN, or Black by Pearl Jam.

Good depressing tunes from my playlist, the ones you don't have I'd highly reccomend:

Sublime - Pool Shark (acoustic)
Stone Sour - Bother
Staind - Excess Baggage
Sneaker Pimps - Destroying Angel
Sneaker Pimps - Blacksheep
Pearl Jam - Black
Smashing Pumpkins - Soma
Strait Up feat. Lajon from Sevendust - Angels Son
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge
Nofx - Whoops, I OD'd
Nine Inch Nails - Something I Can Never Have
Marilyn Manson - Coma Black
Leonard Cohen - If It Be Your Will
Finger Eleven - Broken Words
Devin the Dude - Tough Love
Cold - Ugly
Alice in Chains - Nutshell

You're all too young to know the greatest ever for depreessing songs ... Hank Williams "I'm so lonesome I could cry" and many others.
