Whats the most depressing song you've ever heard?

[warsofwinter]

My vote would be deadhouse or quiteworld by katatonia

 

[godmachine12]

Anathema-"One Last Goodbye" gets my vote for metal song, but I don't know if it is the most depressing ever. There are quite a few of them.

 

[Silhouette]

There are quite a few to name. But I think if I had to say what sounds the most depressing to me, it would be Evereve's "Stormbirds" album. More the beautiful depressing than the angry depressing.

 

[Sadistik]

probably anything from Bethlehem's Sardonischer... album. Definitely the most depressing album ever. Also Intermezzo by Nightingale is damned depressing. Also a song I wrote is damned depressing too, but thats just because it's personal so I'm biased.

 

[Raven777]

Wow... we've got a great load of possibilities to choose from...

Some of my choices include:

Lovelorn Rhapsody - Anathema
Brave - Katatonia
It's A Miracle - Roger Waters
In Your Room - Depeche Mode
Your River - My Dying Bride

Some old Nirvana tunes like "Paper Cuts' are depressing, but the more oppresive, detached, bizzare type...

Oh, how could I forget?

The Journey's End - Nightingale

Swano's the man!

 

[ghobhlin]

I am gonna have to go with Deadhouse from Katatonia...just because the lyrics hit a personal nerve in me

 

[Windom Pearl]

Not so easy.

Katatonia - Day, Rainroom
Radiohead - Exit music (for a film), Climbing up the walls
Raison D'Etre - Inner Depths of Sadness
Any song from Soft Black Stars by Current 93

Couple days ago I also heard a song by a finnish band called Maryland, and I think I've never heard anything so depressing. Hope they got the band in my record store

 

[Villain]

Yep, I'd go with MDB as well - Cry of Mankind as a whole is just so...

-Villain

 

[Lee_B]

I've got a few:

Candlemass - Mourner's Lament or Solitude
Unholy - Anything from the last album
SWANS - Most stuff
Type O - Suspended In Dusk
Beyond Dawn - Teardance
Radiohead - Exit Music
Coil - Tainted Love
Muse - Unintended

The list could go on...

Good depressing song is throned by"I sorgens kammer" By Dimmu Borgir

 

[Kem]

Candlemass are quite depressing. Black Sabbeth the song is also pretty depressing.

Someone said Paper Cuts by Nirvana. I reckon Big Long Now by `em too is as well.

 

[svenske kocken]

Anathemas "Anyone, Anywhere" is really depressive, and also really beautiful.
The same goes for Katatonias "The Futere Of Speech", Candlemass "Solitude" and everything with Weeping Willows.

 

[justHerb]

Fade To Black - Metallica

It is depressing in it's own way, but for me it always reminds me of a friend who died 15 years ago. I still get teary when I hear it and I've been known to actually cry while trying to sing along with it when they play it live.

 

[Brandon Ryan]

I must say Harvest by Opeth is depressing

 

[luke]

To say a definite most depressing would be a bit tough, and lots of the real sad ones are already out there. I think special mention should go to Neil Young's 'needle and the damage done'
pretty damn emotional in just over 2 minutes.

 

[Satori]

'Beyond the Realms of Death' by Priest

Satori

 

[Triste]

'Journey Through Lowlands Green' by OFFICIUM TRISTE and 'Fade to Black' by METALLICA

 

[apostlentriumph]

Ferocious Weights by maudlin of the well and the album The Knowing by November's Doom.

 

[HoserHellspawn]

The entire Pink Moon record by Nick Drake. Specifically, I've always had a thing for "Which Will". And, I concur that Anathema's "One Last Goodbye" and Katatonia's "Day" are right up (down?) there.

 

[Soul Forlorn]

"To Bid You Farewell"
