Post the most depressing songs you've ever heard, maximum 10 artists

[Divatkreació]

Is there nothing more useless than an "np thread"? I mean c'mon, has someone seriously looked what others have been listening. You can do that in Last.fm too.

 

[Exiled]

11) Requiem For A Dream music theme.

Agreed... everytime i hear the first notes of those last minutes of the movie i get chills, and my throats gets filled with knots...

I remember i felt so depressed after watching that movie for the first time and i will ever feel this everytime i hear the soundtrack.. even though it is my fave movie.

anyway am i wrong or that last part of the soundtrack was also used on the Lord of the rings the return of the king movie?.. i have just seen that LOTR movie once so i dont remember quite well, but im surei was like WTF at the cinema back then..

I remember that I first listent this song in LOTR trailer, I think it was for the two towers (or return of the king), not sure. I could check the tracking list, but I'm too bored to do that.

coal chamber-my mercy
in flames-metaphor
of the wand and the moon-raven chant
lacrimas profundere-melantroduction
daylight dies-i wait
katatonia-d bonds

 

[Procella]

Joy Division "The Eternal"

 

[wankerness]

coal chamber-my mercy

LOLOLZ i used to think this was too in like 10th grade ;( man i forgot all about that song

 

[noctua]

Here it goes, in no particular order (I'd prefer not to put any Katatonia song):

My Dying Bride:For my fallen angel
NIN:Hurt/And all that could have been
The Cure:Homesick
Anathema:A natural disaster
Jeff Buckley Dream brother
Héroes del Silencio:La chispa adecuada
Pau Casals:El cant dels ocells (it's only a cell song, but it's sooooo damnly beautiful!)
Opeth:Hope leaves
The 3rd and the Mortal:Salva me
Porcupine Tree:Collapse the light into earth

 

[mrisaka]

Well, I just listed one song for each of the bands below, but for most of them, especially The Cure, JD, NIN, Opeth and Swans, I could pretty much list their entire catalogue.

In no particular order:

The Cure - Figurehead
Joy Division - In a Lonely Place
Nine Inch Nails - Right Where It Belongs
Opeth - Bleak
Swans - The Sound
VNV Nation - Forsaken (vocal version)
Assemblage 23 - Disappoint
Diary of Dreams - Dead Letter
Dead Can Dance - Persephone
Katatonia - Leaders

Oh man, I love this thread. I love sad music SO much. I haven't seen much Swans being referenced on here, and I encourage everyone to check them out. They helped me through the worst time of my life when I was suicidal. Funny how sad music "helps" me in those situations.

[Willus]

Anything by Huey Lewis, it's depressing he even made music, much more depressing when you actually have to "hear" it on the radio.

-Willus

 

[moouers]

Slowdive - Losing Today
Katatonia - Quiet World; Journey Through Pressure
Dead Can Dance - The Host of Seraphim; Persephone
Unto Ashes - D'drennan
Cranes - Beautiful Sadness
The Smashing Pumpkins - Blank Page
Pivot Clowj - Love in Vain
John Tavener - Song for Athene
Zeromancer - Cupola
Virgin Black - Our Wings Are Burning; A Poet's Tears of Porcelain
Arcana - Angel of Sorrow (Yeah, this makes 11 artists...I know )
Low - Kind of Girl (And this makes 12!)

I have well over 400 albums, and I'm addicted to depressing music. This small list doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the "most depressing songs" I've heard.

 

[Katatonica]

i've got some other ones.
