The Depression

[Spee]

What songs do you find to be tearful/moving/sad whatever?

I ask, simply because I just finished watching Johnny Cash's Hurt video for the first time, and holy shit. Depressing. Needless to say, my vote goes for this.

[Mag-Mower]

i cannot cry, nor do i have feelings, i am just a figment of your imagination

[eXoSloth]

"For no one" by the Beatles is pretty depressing, but I'm sure there's worse.

[Hamma]

Johnny Cash Hurt is a great song.

[AztecWarrior]

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIIIIIIIN


Just kidding. We all get sad sometimes. I don't really know by name any depressing songs. Actually there's this Church song I know, but it's in Spanish.

[Hamma]

Sara McGlaughlin (I know probably spelled wrong) Angel, that song is extremly sad.

[Fragmatic]

Radiohead - Karma Police / Creep
Coldplay - The Scientest / Parachutes

[OfaLoaf]

Elenor Rigby by the Beatles is rather depressing...

[Triggar]

"Promise to Try" by Madonna. Holy shit, if you're suicidal, don't listen to it.

[Peacemaker]

45 - Shinedown ... not many people realise he is holding the gun to his head

[Setari]

45 - Shinedown ... not many people realise he is holding the gun to his head

[EarlyDawn]

More of a sad rock song from me..

"What It Is To Burn" - Finch.

[Peacemaker]

Awsome song early

[Kikinchikin]

The Unforgiven and Nothing Else Matters- Metallica
Would?- Alice in Chains

Both in a good way though. Great songs to listen to at night, very soothing.

[Sputty]

Safety Dance
It can create any emotion, sadness about the dancers' struggle, happiness about the dance, anger about the ignorance of the friends
It's a moving piece of literature and song
An Opera, really

On October 7th 2000 my little brother died at the age of 19 in a rock climing accident.

That night I spent with my Family Consuling them and just kinda being in charge, keeping the Rubber neckers away, answering the phone, dealing with the dog and so on.

The next day I was driving to a friends store for some down time when the song "How's it Gonna be" by Third Eye Blind came on

About half way through I broke down and had to pull to the side of the road. It was the first time I cried for James... not the last, but it was that initial outpouring of grief.

To this day I can't hear that song without getting choked up.


As an interesting side note to that story. The one girl in the world I really dug, Jen, had pissed me off about a month before, so much so that I had decided to end any relationship we had. At James's funeral Jen's mom came up to me and gave me her condolances and said that Jen wishes she could have been there but Couldn't. I knew she had not come because of me, not wanting to make a hard situation worse for me.

It kinda gave me a realization. From James' death to Jen's mom it all sorta hit me that I was living way too afraid. I let the emotional rush die down a bit then called Jen (This would be in November, I was in Alaska at the time on Bussiness) After a lot of talking we reconciled our friendship. In January we started dating.

On May 21st 2004 we were married.

At our wedding we danced to "How's it gonna be" the DJ thought we were nuts, but we did it in honor of a little brother lost, but never forgotten.

Eric Clapton - My Fathers Eyes.

Damn, that song makes my eyes water even thinking about it, I'm such a wuss :(

Pilgrim's story was the best

BTW, what's a rubber necker pilgrim?

[Pilgrim]

It's an american saying (and I thought more universal)

Some one who take a great deal of time looking in on soe one elses misery. Like when there is a bad accident on the highway and everyone stops to look we would say "great stupid Rubber neckers are slowing it all down" Then Rubber neck ourselves to see if there's any good blood.

[Happy lil Elf]

Stories by Trapt, Waiting by Jimmy's Chicken Shack, and a number of songs off of Maroon 5. Mostly because they relate a lot to experiences I've had personally.

[Triggar]

I'm sorry to hear that about your brother, Pilgrim. I pray everyday that God protects my family - I wouldn't know how to survive if I suddenly lost any of the people I love.

[Kikinchikin]

Metallica - Fade to Black (Ride the Lightning Album)

Shit, how'd I forget that? I love that song.

[Octavian]

'In Amber Clad' by Marty O'Donnell.

"Love Ridden" - Fiona Apple

[Jennyboo]

Cant remember the name of this song but it goes something like this.. "OH where oh where! Can my baby be the lord took her away from me, She's gone to Heaven so I have to be good , so i can see my baby when I leave this world"

[Hamma]

[MattxMosh]

I dont really listen to much music taht could be considered depressing but, er, Farewell by ******** *********, and Yesterdays Dream by Breath In.

They both have special meaning to me.

[Kuraltai]

It's called Last Kiss - Pearl Jam:rofl: us geezers remember the version by J Frank Wilson & The Caviliers .. Last Kiss (http://www.minibite.com/oldies/lastkiss.htm) :love:

[Electrofreak]

There are 2 songs that have that sort of effect on me, and its not really because of the song either.

The Cure - Lovesong
Blink 182 - I Miss You

Those 2 songs sorta had special meaning to me and my ex-gf when we were dating. I guess you could call them "our songs". Now in case you haven't heard me go on one of my rants in IRC, I loved the girl very dearly and then she left me after a 15 month relationship, saying she just didn't have feelings for me anymore. A few weeks later she was sleeping with another guy. I was emotionally tore up pretty bad and I still have a few issues concerning the whole thing even today... despite how badly she hurt me, I still can't help but miss her and get a bit misty when I hear either of the songs. I know, I'm a big softie. :p

[Triggar]

Joni Mitchell, especially "Both Sides Now" and "River".

[Khronos]
