Pulp - This Is Hardcore

Red House Painters "Katy Song"

can't go with my heart when i
can't feel what's in it i
thought you'd come over
but for some reason you didn't
glass on the pavement under my shoe
without you is all my life amounts to

Anything Kozelek does sounds like a soundtrack for a suicide... but it's the sweet in bittersweet that keeps me coming back.

"Meat is Murder" - Smiths

The Swans.

This is one of the most beautiful yet depressing songs I've ever experienced.

Yeah, that's a good one.

Depeche Mode, Swans, Smiths, Joy Division ("Decades" being the exception) I love but they don't really depress me that much

good choice, my sister told me it was beautifally depressing when i played that album last year

Slowdive - Avalyn I

I guess there's a distinction between music that's depressed sounding and music that makes one depressed. Not much makes me depressed, but I like a lot of music that's called depressing.
But not when the artist take themselves too seriously and wallow in their self-loathing without a sense of humor about it.

Another tune that could be labeled depressing, but I'd rather call it a genius piece of music. Absolutely gorgeous track. This is BY FAR my favorite ambient release this year [actually in the past 5 years].

So I still haven't heard this album. You wanna do a guy a favour? Ill beg if you want too.

that was mesmerizing simplistic beauty


Peter Gabriel's Wallflower is pretty tragic yet hopeful

Cowboy Junkies - Sun comes Up It's Tuesday Morning, or their version of Powderfinger

Some Tindersticks, definitely. I listened to "My Oblivion" off of Waiting for the Moon three times today.

Velvet Underground "Jesus" sound like the last thing you'd listen to before taking all the pills.

A friend of mine had a tape called The Happy Tape which was full of things like Abba and "The Lonely Goatherd" from The Sound of Music. So I made her The Miserable Tape, which was all of the happiest sounding songs with the most depressing lyrics. I can't remember too many off the top of my head, but: Richard & Linda Thompson "The Little Beggar Girl" and "The Sun Never Shines on the Poor"; Elton John "I Think I'm Going to Kill Myself" (complete with tap dance break); Matthew Sweet "The Ugly Truth"; Nick Lowe "Marie Provost"...

matthew sweet--sick of myself, i almost forgot
rem--wall of death
bright eyes--waste of paint


it's old and moldy but:
the smithereens--eleven

For some reason The Posies song, "Coming Right Along" off of their album Frosting On The Beater always puts me in a sad, pensive mood.


So bleak sounding.


Anyone know what I'm talking about? When I hear it I feel like crying.

I love Hindle Wakes by In The Nursery for its melodicism and lyrical beauty, but when I played it for someone else, she asked me how I could listen to it, it was so sad...

I thought that was just me who thought that....

I am a Bird Now is really sad to me, espically "Fistfull of Love"

nope, this is pretty good
