The Cure Pornography has some good tunes for that

Sonic Johnny 05-25-2014 10:06 PM

For pure concentrated self-pity Carissa's Wierd's Songs About Leaving and Patron Saint Of Bridge Burners' Sorry, for facing up to your own mortality, Typhoon's song The Sickness Unto Death

you won't need a playlist, this should do. @3:53 you'll be ready to cry (well, I am.)

YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL
MY EMPIRE OF DIRT

I find Pornograpy cold and bleak but not necessarily super depressing. Disintegration is more depressing and more "elegantly" so. Maybe the most depressing being title track despite it being a little overblown towards the end. when you have a record that starts with "I think it's dark and it looks like rain" and ends with "I'll never lose this pain, never dream of you again" you know you got a depressing record on your hands.

Pornography is so over-the-top dark it's just badass. Like listening to Bahaus.

But Dis. is miserable in a genuine heartfelt way that's just brutal from start to end.

how about you make a post addressing the question at the top of the thread and drop the god damn commentary

The exploding boy 05-25-2014 11:00 PM

Pretty sure i just did that by recommending Disintegration too/instead.

Don't get so blinded by your hatred of me k? It makes you look bad.

You guys are lame

slunken 05-25-2014 11:07 PM

This is the kind of garbage that gives sad music a bad name

slunken 05-25-2014 11:08 PM

Hi, I'm 50 years of soul music. Ever hear of me?

Yeah cause i can really relate to a black man from the 60's complaining about his baby better than to a 90's middle class white rockstar expressing his existential angst. Get real.

The exploding boy 05-25-2014 11:23 PM

Stolen car by The Boss. I fucking love this song. It makes you want to get married just so you can go through the same shit..


And my go to choice for most depressing song ever has always been Leo Ferre - Avec le temps but it's french so you might not get much out of it. Old man sings over heartbreaking piano about how with time, everything fucking sucks and you die alone and miserable. Amazing.

Also Leonard Cohen's Hey that's no way to say goodbye.

Exit music for a film
My shit's fucked up
Mohammed's radio
Desperadoes under the eaves
Empty hearted town
Fake plastic trees
Daisies of the galaxy
Roland the headless Thompson gunner
Stumbleine
Soothe
Private universe
Under the Milky Way tonight
