i didn't read this thread, but the whole Sea Change album by Beck is fucking depressing! That album was such a shock to me considering that Midnight Vultures came before it. Thank god he got in a better mood and put out Guero
Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.
I know what you mean of course, there's just two ways you can take it. Let's be half-full people for once.
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

I love how everyone always tells me this:rolleyes: Rolling Stone gives it 5 stars and next thing you know everyone is a huge Sea Change fan.
Odelay, Midnight Vultures, Mutations... now those are brilliant
Sea Change is well... good

Mutations: same producer, same acoustic feel, not depressing.... WAY better songs
Well Mutations and Sea Change are my two favorite Beck albums. I just like Sea Change a little bit more. I agree it has a depressing vibe. I always tell my friends who I introduce to it not to listen to it if they are depressed, or they may end up killing themselves.
Have we had To Sheila by Smashing Pumpkins yet? That song is almost unbearably sad.
I agree....this is really one of the saddest songs.
And Lovesong....by The Cure.
Hurt...(I prefer Cash's version).
Nothing you can ever do
Still every night I burn
Every night I scream your name
Every night I burn
Every night the dream's the same
Every night I burn
Waiting for my only friend
Every night I burn
Waiting for the world to end...
'Raining in Baltimore' by Counting Crows has always seemed really really depressing to me
Yellow Ledbelly.....I drew a blank with this one. Had CC in my head but for the life of me, couldn't get the name of the song into my head. It is rather depressing.
Nothing you can ever do
Still every night I burn
Every night I scream your name
Every night I burn
Every night the dream's the same
Every night I burn
Waiting for my only friend
Every night I burn
Waiting for the world to end...
So glad to see you have overcome them.
Completely silent now
With heaven's help
You cast your demons out
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead
Recall the deeds as if
They're all someone else's
Atrocious stories
Now you stand reborn before us all
So glad to see you well
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead
With your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down [repeated]
Your halo slipping down to choke you now
Conversations getting dull
There's a constant ringing in my ears
Sense of humor's void and numb
And I'm bored to tears.......
I Listened to Nirvanas Something In The Way on my walk home yesterday. It was raining and cold and gray and that song did me in. I ended up in a pretty low mood
Good choice, however i've got even better one, Big Long Now by Nirvana. This song has fucked me up on few occasions and made me cry. I love this song a lot, this song depicts helplessness and feeling numb, and sad. But i very rarerly, practically never listen to this song, because it really has bad effect on me.

fair enough:)
Some people are more into his softer side.. and other's are more into his electic, dance side. Either way, he's fucking amazing!!
on a side note-- i broke up with my girlfriend almost immediately after listening to Sea Change for the first time. somehow his music symbolized our relationship. midnight vultures was our good times.. and sea change made me realize that i wasn't happy with her. if that makes any sense... probably not.

I'm convinced that most of the people who responded to this thread have hollow tin chests.
Tears in Heaven is BY FAR the saddest/most depressing tune ever. EVER. I am surprised at how few people mentioned it, 2-3 maybe out of ten pages.
"...Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven... "
I am not a big Clapton fan, I don't even own one of his or Cream's CDs but this song gets me every time.

Yeah it's a sad song, given the circumstances it was written in, but there are plenty of songs born out of equally depressing circumstances.
The Cure - Plainsong, A Forest, Carnage Visors, One Hundred Years, A Letter To Elise, Lost, Disintegration, Pictures Of You, Funeral Party, The Hanging Garden, Pornography etc etc
Depeche Mode - Little 15, Pimpf, Fly On The Windscreen, Sometimes, Clean, Waiting For The Night, One Caress, Love Thieves, The Darkest Star, Surrender etc
Cranberries - Daffodil Lament, Hollywood,
Radiohead - Pyramid Song, Climbing Up The Walls
The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work, Weeping Willow

Sea Change is brilliant.
I generally am. Except that record is depressing.

or
pretty much any NIN song.
if there ever was a more prophetic song I cannot think of one.
talking about blowing yourself away so someone else has to scrape you off the wall....sad sad shit

They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
