Favourite Depressing music

[Mickey Massuco]

What are your favourite songs to listen to when down in the dumps? Doesn't have to be relationship-related, but just stuff you put on when in a shitty mood.

For me, one of the best sad songs to listen to is I see a Darkness, by Bonnie Prince Billy.

For those that haven't heard it:

It's astonishing that Beth Gibbons/Rustin' Man collaboration has never driven me to suicide.

It was a lot of mid-'70s Neil Young stuff for years, but recently Richard & Linda Thompson's stellar I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight has been my go-to jam for dark nights of the soul.

Cat Stevens- Trouble
Even more saddening when accompanied with the ending of Harold and Maude.

Harry Chapin- Cats in the Cradle
I usually cite this as my pick for saddest song ever.

Fiona Apple- Never is a Promise
Carrion might be even more heart-wrenching.

I was on my way to school last month, listening to "Holocaust" by Big Star, when someone jumped the concrete median and nearly collided head-on with me. I managed to swerve out of the way safely, but they were still so close that their mirror scratched mine. I was glad I didn't get killed, and I was really glad it wasn't while I was listening to that song. That whole album (Third/Sister Lovers) was soaked in depression.

I'm quite the fan of Neo-Folk, and some of it has a rather depressive atmosphere.

Anything from this album:

Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2 U

I have other songs more "depressing" in terms of lyrical content but this really hits the entire vibe with lyrics.

Lots of Joe Budden songs. 10 Minutes and his Sing for The Moment "freestyle" and Whatever It Takes are also recomended.

Fuck what ya heard. George Michaels is the shit.

You can feel his hunger here. This is one of the 'realest' hiphop songs of all time.

One of the only 'sane' parts of the Makaveli album.

Also, Bruce Springsteen, old outlaw country; waylon, willie, hank, johnny cash. aimee mann, queen, some 'power ballads'
