The End of The Rainbow by Richard Thompson
(Anyone who can have a compilation titled "Doom & Gloom From the Tomb" has to be worth considering).

I feel for you, you little horror
Safe at your mother’s breast
No lucky break for you around the corner
‘Cos your father is a bully
And he thinks that you’re a pest
And your sister, she’s no better than a whore

Life seems so rosy in the cradle
but I’ll be a friend, I’ll tell you what’s in store
There’s nothing at the end of the rainbow
There’s nothing to grow up for anymore

Tycoons and barrow boys will rob you
And throw you on the side
And all because they love themselves sincerely
And the man holds a bread-knife
Up to your throat, is four feet wide
And he’s anxious just to show you what it’s for

Your mother works so hard to make you happy
But take a look outside the nursery door
There’s nothing at the end of the rainbow
There’s nothing to grow up for anymore

All the sad and empty faces
That pass you on the street
All running in their sleep, all in a dream
Every loving handshake
Is just another man to beat
How your heart aches just to cut him to the core

Life seems so rosy in the cradle
but I’ll be a friend, I’ll tell you what’s in store
There’s nothing at the end of the rainbow
There’s nothing to grow up for anymore

What kind of depressing? The Crying of Lot G is a good depressing song, but it's hardly applicable to all situations.

John3: I was thinking more of generally depressing songs, although situation-specific depressing songs that are usually just melancholy are fine. "Take me out to the ballgame" doesn't count as a depressing song, regardless of how many times the Cubs have lost the pennant.

Almost anything by the Smiths.. especially 'How Soon is Now?' and 'Reel around the Fountain'

There are lots of others, but I'm in a fairly good mood now and I don't want to kill it by thinking up depressing songs.

I've been listening to "The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most" by Dashboard Confessional, and it's brilliant. Though I must second Laz's choice of the Replacements - he put that on my "Pollute Your Ears" CD and it's absolutely fantastic.

From my fiancee:
The Unforgiven & Fade to Black-- Metallica
Illusion -- Creed
Lots of Pink Floyd and Three Doors Down

Why she's depressed has nothing to do with me, of course....

And I think Three Doors Down makes one depressed more than is something to listen to when you're already there.

The only really depressing song I can think of is 'Patches'..nothing else comes close to it. The old one. Not the Jimmy Eat World one.

To find the truth. I've even lied.
But all I know is down inside

And super heroes come to feast
To taste the flesh not yet deceased.

Some insects called the human race...
Lost in time
And lost in space
And meaning.

That's when you need to bust out a copy of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, or maybe Kentucky Fried Movie. And a six-pack. And three people to trounce at Spades or Euchre. (Works for me, at any rate.)

I would say "Adagio for Strings" by Barber, but I can't figure out if I feel sad or ecstatic after listening to it. It is a sad song without sadness, like a funeral without any grieving (or someting like that ).

Otherwise, it is a tie between three different songs (played in this order):

"Alone Again (Naturally)" by Gilbert O'Sullivan
"Prisoners of Fate" by Yasunori Mitsuda (from Chrono Cross Sdtk.)
"Fire & Rain" by James Taylor

Listening to these songs one after another is a great way to put myself down...

Gilbert O'Sullivan wrote a song called "Clare". The Clare he wrote the song about is a friend of mine.

Hey, you're slapping the guy who has watched Titanic five times. Twice in the theater, and three times on video over a period of three years.

So I really like that song, and it strikes a chord with my feelings at the right time; you can kiss my pretty ass, Boris and Ramo.

5 times? That's 15 hours of your life you will never get back.

The only thing depressing about that song is that it was written and actually won an Oscar... bleargh!

I'm surprised that no one has yet mentioned "Gloomy Sunday." That's the quintessential suicide theme.

I think litsening to depressive music is sick. It's like deriving entertainment from watching people die from tubercolosis or something, revelling in and deriving pleasure from another person's fatal disease.

Now, slightly melancholic and manically self-destructive songs I'm well up on. Happy, decadent songs with slight melancholic undertones along the lines of The Paragons' "On The Beach" are among my favourite types of songs...
