That song about driving in the rain and crashing. I don't remember who did it originally.

Also, for some reason Sweet Melissa makes me sad.

Ben Folds Five: "Brick"
Elliott Smith: "Happiness/The Gondola Man"

I've got a live version of it which elliott introduces
as untitled, it makes me cringe in the light of his recent
suicide. pm me if you'd like a copy.

Elliott Smith: "Everything Means Nothing to Me"

Not everyone knows it has lyrics


For me, the most depressing "modern" song would be Meatloaf's "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad".

I think I can formulate my entire list using only songs by Johnny Cash:

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Johnny Cash (Written By Hank Williams)
I Hung My Head - Johnny Cash (Written by Sting)
Give My Love To Rose - Johnny Cash
Spiritual - Johnny Cash
Hurt - Johnny Cash (Written by NIN)

But, I need to include the following as well:

Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton
Somewhere In Between - Lifehouse
Theme From Schindler's List - John Williams

 

[BullsOnParade]

going to add billy joel's "piano man"

 

[PennyTibz]

Awesome post guys....I just made a HUGE list of all of those songs hehe...

My picks?

Kids Soundtrack - Spoiled (also most other songs on Kids soundtrack are depressing - the most depressing movie of all time)

Braveheart Soundtrack

Vast - Touched (the song is called "Touched" but I can't remember the name of the group - Vass? Vash? Tass? Something like that - oh yeah VAST!)

Overcome (re-written by a few people, known as the 9/11 song, very good song)

Some of the slower songs by Chemical Brothers (I know, they make crazy stuff, but some of their songs are good)

Vitamin C - Graduation

Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscrean

The Doors - most of their songs

U2 - most of their songs

Anything Box - most of their songs

Creed - most of their songs

Everlast - most of their songs

i'm not a big fan of them, but "Gone Away" by the Offspring always gets to me.

 

[GeorgiaBadger]

Queen ? Bohemian Rhapsody

Another great song for unbridled anguish and despair. The lyrics are damn good too.

I agree with a lot of the others:

Eric Clapton - "Tears in Heaven" - Especially the live version at the Grammy's, you can hear him choking up...
Johhny Cash - "Hurt" - The NIN version is depressing, but this one is really bad, especially when you see the video

For some reason whenever I hear Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, it puts me in such a melancholy and pensive mood. But I love the song.

I also get this funny kind of sad feeling when I hear the Rolling Stone's, Wild Horses too. I don't know why, it's not really a sad song. I guess it's the the key of the song which makes me feel a little melancholy.
