I think 'The River' by Bruce Springsteen certainly qualifies as music to slit your wrists to.

Perhaps, 'Strange Fruit' as rendered by Billie Holiday.

In it she sings of how Blacks that were lynched in the South, were
reminiscent of 'a strange fruit' hanging from a tree.

IF YOU LEAVE ME NOW (Chicago)

If you leave me now
You’ll take away the biggest part of me
Oo, oo, oo, no, baby, please don’t go
And if you leave me now
You’ll take away the very heart of me
Oo, oo, oo, no, baby, please don’t go
Oo, oo, oo, girl, I just want you to stay

A love like ours is love that’s hard to find
How could we let it slip away ?
We’ve come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way ?
When tomorrow comes and we both regret
The things we said today

A love like ours is love that’s hard to find
How could we let it slip away ?
We’ve come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way ?
When tomorrow comes and we both regret
The things we said today

If you leave me now
You’ll take away the biggest part of me
Oo, oo, oo, no, baby, please don’t go
Oo, oo, girl, I’ve just got to have you by my side
Oo, oo, oo, no, baby, please don’t go
Oo, ah, ah, I’ve just got to have you, girl

Yes. I love Billie Holiday enormously but I really can't listen to that, it's too upsetting... And you remember it was a chart release....Wow, that took real guts.

On a lighter, or at least more vacuous note, anything by Morrissey or The Smiths. Anything at all, but that "Heaven Knows" is self-obsessed depression to the nth degree. I really wish he hadn't told me, and I really wish Morrissey didn't have any tune-writing talent--it's his ability to blend wrist-slitting lyrics with poppy little hooks that really offends me.

Leonard Cohen. My God, was it really that bad being him?

Actually I have a "depressing music" radar that keeps most of the shit at bay, just occasionally something really dire gets through and my memory actually registers it.

I have deliberately avoided mentioning C&W music, BTW.

There's been some great stuff mentioned here that I enjoy and easily makes my list: The Smiths, Morrissey, and Pink Floyd. For me, however, the most depressing stuff is Radiohead's "High and Dry," "There There," and "Climbing up the Walls." "Disintegration" and "Homesick" by The Cure would also have to be on my list.

Listen to Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album, and just put the fucking shotgun in your mouth. Jesus Christ. And people actually took acid and came down on cocaine while that stuff was playing? Talk about your "character-building experiences". Good God.

Yup. I actually listened to it again recently and decided it was at best a "20-year" album....ie it will be another 20 years before I make that mistake again.

Yet Meddle, Dark Side and Wish You Were Here all stand up well, of the post-Syd era.

Gilbert O'Sullivan, Yes, that's one of my all-time most depressing songs.

As to "The Wall" - it's not one of my favorite Floyd albums, but it doesn't depress me at all. It certainly covers material that is a bummer,. but it just doesn't have that effect on me.

Terry Jacks "Seasons in the Sun"

Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
We've known each other since we're nine or ten.
Together we climbed hills or trees.
Learned of love and ABC's,
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Pretty girls are everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of time.
Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me,
I was the black sheep of the family.
You tried to teach me right from wrong.
Too much wine and too much song,
wonder how I get along.
Goodbye, Papa, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Little children everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the wine and the song,
like the seasons, all have gone.
Goodbye, Michelle, my little one.
You gave me love and helped me find the sun.
And every time that I was down
you would always come around
and get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die
when all the bird are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
With the flowers ev'rywhere.
I whish that we could both be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the stars we could reach
were just starfishs on the beach

Fields of Gold by Sting. I used it as the "First Dance" song at my wedding. I was/am so in love with Miss H.
Needless to say the relationship went off the rails due to a childhood abuse issue(hers not mine).
It was her landmine, but I set it off , so its a mixture of grief and guilt that I feel.

Anyway, I still love the song but it fills my eyes with tears.

I think cassie sort of nailed it (though I just find coldplay boring - not sad)

It sort of depends on what level particular music depresses you. I get depressed by the cold calculating and manipulative nature of so much contemporary music - wholly plastic artefacts produced for a buck.

The music which actually makes me feel desolate is often brilliant - with a way of dashing past cliche or lyrics intended to "make you sad to cut through to some place of real bleak despair The music that does this best are Chopin's Nocturnes for the piano. Utterly beautiful, but they make me think of my own inevitable death.

Stavros
10-09-2014, 01:31 PM
I think people are making a distinction between music/songs that are about depression and music/songs that induce it. I can't think of anything more depressing to listen to than the music of the English composer Edward Elgar -colourless, superficial emotion soaked in the most depressing range of chords known to man. If I hear his music on the radio I immediately turn it off, as I have better things to do with my life than be deliberately depressed when I might have been feeling good about life.

As for pop songs, I think the point is that there should be no relief from the depressing thought in the song, so that it is without hope. Marvin Gaye's classic I Head it Through the Grapevine is one such song, although one could just say Marvin, mate -she doesn't love you anymore, get over it.

Here is a deeply depressing song, full of anger, spite and violence, offering no hope. First the lyrics, then if you can stomach it, the song on youtube. And just to rub your faces in it, it is 11 minutes long.

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes, again

Can you picture what will be, so limitless and free
Desperately in need, of some, stranger's hand
In a, desperate land

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane, all the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles

Ride the snake, he's old, and his skin is cold
The west is the best, the west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest
The blue bus is callin' us, the blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken us

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall

He went into the room where his sister lived, and, then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door, and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother, I want to, fuck you

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us

And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock, on a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock, c'mon, yeah
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
This is the end, beautiful friend

This is the end, my only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end

Interesting to read Stavros's typically dogmatic remarks about the wonderful music of Edward Elgar.

I find certain of his pieces depressing but for wholly different reasons.

I cannot listed to Elgar's "The Wand of Youth" suite at all because I purchased it for my father for his birthday but never go to give it to him before he died from a heart attack.

.

Dogma has nothing to do with it, as I do not have a musical theory or doctrine to explain it. Elgar's music is not to my taste, like the (so-called) music of William Walton, Aaron Copeland and Handel, I feel ill when it I hear it on the radio. If it means something to you, then that is fine with me. Just don't expect me to share it.

"colourless, superficial emotion soaked in the most depressing range of chords known to man. "

This is what I mean. An articulate but utterly subjective dismissal of a composer who is widely considerated to be a great figure in the musical world. I accept that liking or not liking any music is - ultimately - a subjective thing. But this is hyperbolic nonsense.

"If you're leaving close the door.
I'm not expecting people anymore.
Hear me grieving, I'm lying on the floor.

I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man and my world is pale.

Set this to music....
“No matter where; of comfort no man speak:
Let's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs;
Make dust our paper and with rainy eyes
Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth,
Let's choose executors and talk of wills:
And yet not so, for what can we bequeath
Save our deposed bodies to the ground?
Our lands, our lives and all are Bolingbroke's,
And nothing can we call our own but death
And that small model of the barren earth
Which serves as paste and cover to our bones.
For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings;
How some have been deposed; some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed;
Some poison'd by their wives: some sleeping kill'd;
All murder'd: for within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits,
Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
To monarchize, be fear'd and kill with looks,
Infusing him with self and vain conceit,
As if this flesh which walls about our life,
Were brass impregnable, and humour'd thus
Comes at the last and with a little pin
Bores through his castle wall, and farewell king!
Cover your heads and mock not flesh and blood
With solemn reverence: throw away respect,
Tradition, form and ceremonious duty,
For you have but mistook me all this while:
I live with bread like you, feel want,
Taste grief, need friends: subjected thus,
How can you say to me, I am a king?”

It's all about the futility of relationships, of life.
All relationships end in death and the longer they last the more tragically they're going to end.
Robert Smith, lead vocalist and songwriter, said that he's overwhelmed by the futility of life. Then pointed out: read Kafka.

Hi to every occasionally depressed person in here,

I was feeling very bad one night, years ago. I was thinking about a family member (a part of me) that i haven't seen in many, many years.

I popped this NEW Cd in the player. Just bought it.
I drank some wine (i don't drink normally but), i did that night!!

When this song started playing, i stopped thinking and started remembering that young person, and i became very attentive to the lyrics.

The lyrics made me feel sadder than i felt because i could connect almost every word to my miserable life up to that point...but you know what?..it wasn't the lyrics that made me cry, really. It was the warm tone of the C note during the last slide guitar solo just after he sings the phrase, "Lord, how long must this go on?" exactly at the 6 minute and 07 second mark on the time counter.

That warm tone just totally broke me up and i fell apart. It broke me up and when it did, i couldn't stop crying for about an hour.


youtube.com/watch?v=6CrH8sylmw0

"River Of Tears"

It's three miles to the river
That would carry me away,
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today.

It's four miles to my lonely room
Where I will hide my face,
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace.

Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
All I know is, since you've been gone
I feel like I'm drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feel like I'm drowning,
Drowning in a river.

In three more days, I'll leave this town
And disappear without a trace.
A year from now, maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face.

I wish that I could hold you
One more time to ease the pain,
But my time's run out and I got to go,
Got to run away again.

Still I catch myself thinking,
One day I'll find my way back here.
You'll save me from drowning,
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feels like I'm drowning,
Drowning in the river.
Lord, how long must this go on?

Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.





Babe,
xoxo

Just because when you know he is a terrorist it makes it even creepier to listen to his music. At least to me it does.

Anything from Whitney Houston.

And her untimely death hasn't changed my opinion.

"Sittin alone, Saturday night, watchin the late late show
Bottle o wine, some cigarettes, I got no place to go
Saw your other man today
Wearin my brand new shoes
...and I'm Down to Seeds and Stems Again, too"

..anybody remember when your bag o weed came w/ a whole shitload of seeds that had to be filtered w/ an album cover?
...anybody remember album covers?

...a sad song, for sure....but ya gotta love Commander Cody

Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet

The Tom Waits vocal is duetted across a live 'street' recording of a nameless, homeless man, who, whilst freezing and slowly disintegrating in full view of his fellow citizens, in London - quietly repeats the mantra...

'Jesus blood never failed me yet'

Beautifully soundscaped by Bryars.

Hope the link works.

Disintegration by The Cure.
It's all about the futility of relationships, of life.
All relationships end in death and the longer they last the more tragically they're going to end.
Robert Smith, lead vocalist and songwriter, said that he's overwhelmed by the futility of life. Then pointed out: read Kafka.
We go from dust to dust, according to Smith, with no meaning in life.

10 - Disintegration (HD720p) - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_G6P3eUE6o)

Life only has no meaning when you become self-absorbed in your own.
Once you get outside of yourself and spend time trying to improve the life of someone else, your perspective changes.

It's what we do from birth to death that matters, not the final destination.

"Broken by Seether w/ Amy lee, and "the idol" by W.a.s.p. , "the idol" is probably more personal to me, at the time I first heard it I was going through some dark shit in my life.
