Saddest or most depressing song IYO

[dlg3000]

Which songs do you find sad or rather, depressing? Are there any songs that just make you cry anytime you hear it? I was thinking this because I cry everytime I listen to "If I Turn Back" by R. Kelly and it makes me cry just listening to it. I don't know why. It just does.

[Gus Richlen: Ruffian]

Johnny Cash's covers of "Hurt" and "One" are it for me, and, thanks to the Eddie Guerrero tribute, "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down gets me pretty hard too.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

"Rainroom" by Katatonia. "Disheartenment" by Forgotten Tomb is also up there. I suffer from clinical depression and these songs capture my mood when I get that way perfectly.

[SsnakeBite, the No1 Frenchman]

There's a French Hip-Hop song called "Gentiment, je t'immole" (which could be translated as "Burning you softly") inspired by a real event during which a man burned a woman to death for refusing to have sex with him, and generally talks about the numerous women who are frequently abused and raped in the poorer areas of the country, while authorities more or less turn a blind eye. It makes me want to cry every time I hear it.

I think Does Not Suffice by Joanna Newsom is really sad, the whole Have One on Me album is depressing to me.

Everybody Hurts

[Malcolm]

Maybe not the most depressing song I've heard in my entire life but I often find myself singing this to myself whenever I'm feeling blue:

[Push R Truth]

Lifehouse - Somewhere In Between www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4Vn3SaQS6E

The Script - Breakeven www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzCLLHscMOw

Cinematic Orchestra - To Build A Home www.youtube.com/watch?v=QB0ordd2nOI


f***. Now I'm depressed and have a headache.

Warren Zevon. "If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less. Keep me in your heart for awhile."

[biafra]

And "Last Kiss.' Either version.

[aka Cthulhu]

My First Friend makes me a bit sad. More or less, the song is about a kid and his dog. And then the last part is when the kid is now an adult and the dog is at the end of his life. After that, they made a song from the dog's point of view.

I'll second Cash's Hurt cover. Makes me well up a bit each time, he just sounds so haunting, yet vulnerable at the same time.

Until It Sleeps is up there for me as well, especially when you find out it was written about Hetfield's mother getting cancer and refusing to get treatment due to her religion.

[Beast Army Ass]

Thirded on Cash's cover of "Hurt". It's on my iPod and usually I'll skip it since I don't feel like getting all down in the dumps and end up driving my car off a bridge.

[Hit Girl]

Tears in Heaven

Heh, know the feeling. I was on the bus earlier today, weather was nice enough, feeling quite good, Hurt came on, I felt all sad, and I shit you not, it started to rain.

Luckily, "When the Man Comes Around" was on next, so I was cheered up by that slightly (I know it's about the apocalypse, but damn, it's so cheery!)

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

'Bad' by U2, any iteration of the song gets me weepy.

[Ishmeal Loves BBL Bayley]

Tears In Heaven
Cash's Hurt
Last Kiss
Brad Paisley - When I Get Where I'm Going

[GreyScaleLJH]

Tomorrow is Today by Billy Joel. Especially when you find out where the lyrics are from.

[Talent Name]

Avenged So Far Away gets me every time also Bright Eyes no lies just love does it to
