    and all that could have been - nin
    nutshell -aic
    light years - pearl jam
    the ledge - the replacements
    turn into - yeah yeah yeahs

    i could list a whole lot more, frank black's black letter days is like a whole album of sad songs for me. i find most music i like is sad/depressing. i even find stuff from rage or dead kennedys to be depressing sometimes. maybe im just weird


    i really dont think kids by lou reed is that sad. he's written some sad/depressing stuff but kids doesnt hit me the way almost everything else on berlin does.

    Definitly AIC's Don't Follow and Nutshell. Cantrell has a couple of downer solo tunes as well with Gone, Between, and Hurt A Long Time.

    Some from the Drive-By Truckers: The Living Bubba, Little Bonnie, Goddamn Lonely Love, and Danko/Manuel.

    Aerosmith's Seasons of Wither.

    Neil Young, Philadelphia. This is from youtube. I have no idea what the national geographic images have to do with it?? But click on it and then minimize it, and just listen. This song aches:

    and Everybody Hurts by REM is sad to me
