Depressing Songs plz
OK, I want some depressing songs. I think this has been done before, but I don't care.
No, I don't mean cheesy crap, or techno stuff (which is admittedly depressing, but for different reasons). And they should be good.
I'm thinking something along the lines of :
Radiohead - Electioneering (plus lots of other stuff)
Eels - Elizabeth on the Bathroom Floor
Evanescene - My Immortal
(I don't care if the lyrics are depressing or not, more the underlying melody)
p.s. First person to post "Cut up, not across faggot" wins a date with Bloomers.

Chicane - No Ordinary Morning.
Possibly the greatest song to wake up to on a sunday morning after a heavy night out.

Re: Depressing Songs plz
Thomas albignoni's adagio is way better. It is in the movie (gerund for the vulgar slang to have sexual intercourse) Amal ( http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0150662/).
anyways
i just wanted to say fake plastic trees and karma police
But what you should really get is "peggy lee - its a good day"

I've always thought that Electioneering was one of the most chipper radiohead songs btw.
Pyramid Song
You and Whose Army
Knives Out
Morning Bell (Amnesiac)
Like Spinning Plates
Life in a Glasshouse
A Wolf at the Door
Everything in its Right Place
Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong
Paranoid Android
Subterranean Homesick Alien
Karma Police
Lucky
No Surprises
The Tourist
(nice dream)
Just
My Iron Lung
Black Star
That's ignoring those that have been mentioned already. Notablely depressing ones in bold.
I think I'll stop there. That's more than enough suicide for one lifetime.

They call her name at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
Then I walk down to buy her flowers
And sell some gifts that I got
Can't you see
It's not me you're dying for
Now she's feeling more alone
Than she ever has before
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me son, it's time to tell the truth
She broke down, and I broke down
Cause I was tired of lying
Driving home to her apartment
For a moment we're alone
Yeah she's alone
I'm alone
Now I know it
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

Re: Depressing Songs plz
i was going to suggest radiohead but mrl did that already! exit music (for a film) is more depressing than electioneering though. i'm going to go through a few of my playlists
Coldplay - Trouble
Coldplay - Amsterdam
Muse - Unintended
Porcupine Tree - Collapse The Light Into Earth
Queen - You Take My Breath Away
Queen - These Are The Days Of Our Lives
Queens Of The Stone Age - Mosquito Song
The Cooper Temple Clause - Blind Pilots (that album was such a rip off of radiohead)
The Cooper Temple Clause - Amber
The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony

The fact that nobody has mentioned The Smiths so far just goes to show how far faggocractic ideals have penetrated into you all.
