Depressing Song Thread [OFFICIAL]

Had a blog for these type of songs but I figured an updated General Forum post would engage a larger audience to share, embrace, and enjoy music that really touches you emotionally.

Songs taken from my blog in order of post













A short explanation of the song as it pertains to what it represents to you or what you believe it to repretsent would be interesting and maybe at the same time introduce a new perspective of that song for different people.

I am also adding a few gems that I enjoy

-reminds me of that first true love that slowly fell apart - but still reminds me of all of those perfect moments where things just seemed to work.

-Joey Cape is seriously one of my favorite's... Being close to someone who commits suicide is really hard to describe, but this song really brings him that much closer for some reason.

-Pretty much same reasoning as the song above, Derrick Plourde was a great drummer and the homage lagwagon pays to him is really unheard of from bands.

-Another great punk band and another great powerful song imo, I think a lot of people can relate to a few aspects of this song; whether it is a personal ballad about themselves or someone they knew.

that's unfortunate, however trolling isn't what this thread is about, but I'd welcome you to share some of your depressing songs.

I never said anyone would feel the same as the person who posts the initial video, however music impacts every person differently. But there will always be common themes people can enjoy.

This, it's really good:

Also, if you mean by sad = emo, people wanting to suicide should use this, it prevents any failure... Hell, you'd probably saw through your arm:

the song that i would off myself to

Kilay. weak.

I need to start a thread about manly song now to offset this thread.

I think I got this.

One of the most depressive songs I know. It's pretty straightforward to understand, but just in case someone doesn't get it - it's a metaphor for suicide:


Probably the most beautiful, dark instrumental I have heard:

This takes the cake IMO

Ok, a serious reply then...

Super obvious but still hasn't been posted:
