    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.

    Have we had To Sheila by Smashing Pumpkins yet? That song is almost unbearably sad.

    yes :) it's a positive song :D


    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 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

    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.

    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
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    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

    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.

    A Perfect Circle TRUMPS ALL.................


    "The Noose"

    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.
