What song is the most depressing? Not because its bad, but it just makes you feel down (in a good way). My vote goes for either:

Roads - Portishead

or

Nothing Better - Postal Service
 
When I'm depressed, I listen to:

The Smiths
The Cure
Death Cab For Cutie
Joy Division
Bright Eyes
Belle & Sebastian

We Rule the School by Belle & Sebastian is a good choice. So is The State That I'm In.

Any random Cure, Smiths, or Joy Division song work.

Death Cab and Bright Eyes is for when I'm super emo.
 
The most depressing song I personally know of is "What Might Have Been" by Little Texas.
 
Are You Sad by Our Lady Peace
Walking On The Wire by The Get Up Kids
The Most Depressing Song by The Get Up Kids
It's A Long Road by Dan Hill
Way To Fall by Starsailor
To Wish Impossible Thing by The Cure

more to come..........

Tori Amos' cover of Love Song is pretty sad.


man oh man, i love that cover than the dreaded 311's one.
 
I was lonelier than Kunta Kinte at a Merle Haggard concert
That night I strolled on into Uncle Limpy's Hump Palace lookin' for love.
It had been a while.
In fact, three hundred and sixty-five had come and went
since that midnight run haulin' hog to Shakey Town on I-10.
I had picked up this hitchhiker that was sweatin' gallons
through a pair of Daisy Duke cut-offs and one of those Fruit Of The Loom tank-tops.
Well, that night I lost myself to ruby red lips,
milky white skin and baby blue eyes.
Name was Russell.

Yes, a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'
Yes, a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'
Well I find it's quite a thrill
When she grinds me against her will
Yes a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'

Well, faster than you can say, "shallow grave",
this pretty little thing come up to me and starts kneadin' my balls
like hard-boiled eggs in a tube sock.
Said her name was Bambi and I said, "Well that's a coincidence darlin',
'cause I was just thinkin' about skinnin' you like a deer."
Well she smiled, had about as much teeth as a Jack-O-Lantern,
and I went on to tell her how I would wear her face like a mask
as I do my little kooky dance.
And then she told me to shush.
I guess she could sense my desperation.
'Course, it's hard to hide a hard-on when you're dressed like Minnie Pearl.

So, Bambi's goin' on about how she can make all my fantasies come true.
So I says, "Even this one I have where Jesus Christ
is jackhammering Mickey Mouse in the doo-doo hole
with a lawn dart as Garth Brooks gives birth to something
resembling a cheddar cheese log with almonds on Santa Claus's tummy-tum?"
Well, ten beers, twenty minutes and thirty dollars later
I'm parkin' the beef bus in tuna town if you know what I mean.
Got to nail her back at her trailer.
Heh. That rhymes.
I have to admit it was even more of a turn-on
when I found out she was doin' me to buy baby formula.

Day or so had passed when I popped the clutch,
gave the tranny a spin and slid on into
The Stinky Pinky Gulp N' Guzzle Big Rig Snooze-A-Stop.
There I was browsin' through the latest issue of "Throb",
when I saw Bambi starin' at me from the back of a milk carton.
Well, my heart just dropped.
So, I decided to do what any good Christian would.
You can not imagine how difficult it is to hold a half gallon of moo juice
and polish the one-eyed gopher when your doin' seventy-five
in an eighteen-wheeler.
I never thought missing children could be so sexy.
Did I say that out loud?

I Would Have Loved You Anyway, by Trisha Yearwood.
 
it's cool, we can still be friends by bright eyes is by far the most depressing song i've ever heard in my life...
 
Bulletproof - Radiohead


When I used to listen to the Bends... this is the one song that always got to me.
 
gary jules - mad world
manic street preachers - motorcycle emptiness
Manic street preachers-everything must go
 
Any album by Mazzy Star is potentially a soundtrack to suicide.

I listen to this song alot too. It's amazing.
I know what u mean
 
"Calling All Stations" - Genesis

Such a powerful song, both musically and lyrically. It's about the thoughts and regrets one must go through during the dying process...:(
 
Candle In The Wind-Elton John
Dance With My Father-Luther Vandross
If We Hold On Together-Diana Ross

"Mad World" --- dunno who sang it ... it's in "Donnie Darko".

This one is a definite. Also, the same week my brother died, "Silent Lucidity" came out by Queensryche. Ever since then that song has made me sad.
