Strange one Pieter ! , i would have chosen any other U2 song :

Exit , MLK , October , One , Mother of the Disapperead , With or Without You ...

 

[cedarbreed]

Stlll I think Temporary Peace,Inner Silence,Lost Control,One Last Goodbye,Fragile Dreams slow version , FLowers and Day from Katatonia beats them all

U2 is often melancholic bur never depressing IMO , and I've been A HUGGGGEEEEEEEE U2 fan !!

BTW Seputura seems to have recorded a videoclip for their U2 cover ' Buller the Blue Sky' , I'm really curious about it !!! I mean it's a 'heavy' U2 song ... but Seputura ... Inspecteur Derrick Gouine is gonna growl ... it's gonna be shit ...

A Silver Mt. Zion - Lonely as the Sound of Lying on an Airplane Going Down. most depressing thing ever. do NOT listen to if suicidial.

Anathema: Lost Control, One Last Goodbye
U2: Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Eminem: Stan, Kim
Nirvana: Heart-shaped box, Where did you sleep last night
My Dying Bride: The Dreadful Hours
Jewel: Pieces of You, Daddy
Antimatter: Flowers
Deftones: My own Summer (shove it)

strange, very strange, pieter. i dont get eminem at all, but i wont tuch on that. but this: "my own summer"?

i always say this but the ultimate melancholic/depressing/squeezing/killing song is King Crimson's "epitaph." some people dont relate to it as it is NOT about love but anyways, here are the lyrics:


The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
As silence drowns the screams.

Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
and laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying

Oh yeah Evil Toucan reminded me of this too : The whole 'Godspeed You Black Emperor' I got is awfully melancholic IMO, it's 'Slow Riot For machinchosebiduletruc ... '
