[dfdye]

An Oxymoron as god as any I know"The Winner of most depressing song"?
No winners only more losers... hehehe

I tend to think that ALL music by The Cure is depressing...

Elton John did the very dark (and very good) "Madman Across the Water"

"High_Heeled Boys" was a good catch.

R.E.M. "Losing my Religion"

I tend to like the minor-chorded, "depressing" songs ...

1) The first time I heard Foreigner's "Cold As Ice" on the local rock station, with a BIG push by the DJ. That's when I knew radio would suck, now and forever, without hope or recourse, amen.

2) Warren Zevon's final album "The Wind", made when he was told he had less than a year to live. Just looking at the song list convinced me I couldn't listen to the thing without bawling my eyes out. "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"? "Keep Me In Your Heart"? Jesus.

My vote is:

Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley with Allison Krauss.

Hockey Night in Canada theme music. That means there is nothing worth watching on TV.

oldies, but sadies

Tried to pick only one Sinatra but couldn't so;
Only the lonely
One for my baby(And one more for the road)
In the wee small hours


But the REAL killer.....
Honey - Bobby Goldsboro. No, Im not kidding.


cool thread, keep em coming.

Bobby Goldsboro - Honey

If this old song doesn't cut you up you must be something less than human.
Ignore the cartoon nonsense.

Mike Curb Congregation - Burning Bridges

Joey tried to help me find a job a while ago
When I finally got it I didn't want to go
The party Mary gave for me when I just walked away
Now there's nothing left to say

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Don't watch the movie, just close your eyes and listen to the words.

Damn it, I hate to admit it, but every time I hear that song I get a lump in my throat.

For some reason cornball tunes like "Muskrat Love" by the Captain and Tenille make me want to find a shotgun and shoot the radio off the table. They are are more depressing than depressing songs.

ROTFLMAO

Three for you , scary and depressing/sad -

Nick Cave - The Train Song

Rhoda Dakar - The Boiler, off "This are Two Tone"

Kaen Finley - Roadkill (spoken word)

Mike And The Mechanics - The Living Years

I wasn't there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
