    Nice to see some love (even if it's pointing out a depressing song) for Peter Gabriel's Up.

    Anyway..

    Portishead- Roads
    Alison Krauss & Union Station- It Doesn't Matter
    Beatles- Eleanor Rigby
    and any good bagpipe rendition of Amazing Grace.

    love will tear us apart - joy division

    the needle and the damage done - neil young
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    Fergieliscious.
    one foot in the door
    the other foot in the gutter
    sweet smell that they adore
    I think I'd rather smother

    nutshell
    down in a hole
    river of deceit
    hurt
    all of Nirvana unplugged
    long road
    say hello 2 heaven

    Johnny Cash's cover of "If you could read my mind." So sad.
    "Strangers passing in the street, by chance two seperate glances meet, and I am you and what I see is me."

    hurt- NIN

    I agree with you on the song but for some reason I like Johnny Cash singing it better. His voice is so deep and seems to add that much more pain to the song.

    "Crackle and Drag" by Paul Westerberg.

    Any song with the title referring to the sound a body bag makes is pretty depressing. Also the following lyrics are pretty heart wrenching.

    She stuffed some rags on the floor
    She closed the window
    She made a pillow
    On the oven door
    And as her baby slept
    She took a long deep breath
    Now they're zippin her up in a bag

    Fuck that's depressing, Okay I win.
    one foot in the door
    the other foot in the gutter
    sweet smell that they adore
    I think I'd rather smother

    i really hate Elvis, but i think "don't cry, daddy" fits well in this category.

    anything in the top 10 singles chart is pretty depressing...

    on a serious note though josh pyke and elliot smith manage to have this depressing sense of melancoly and I get teary whenever i listen to them, damien rice, ryan adams, but in a different good way (i know that makes no sense)
