Arianne - Komm, Süsser Tod, from the End of Evangelion soundtrack.

Nice pleasant lyrics.

quote: I know, I know I've let you down I've been a fool to myself I thought I could live for no one else But not through all the hurt and pain Its time for me to respect the ones you love mean more than anything So with sadness in my heart I feel the best thing I could do is end it all and leave forever whats done is done, it feels so bad what once was happy now is sad I'll never love again my world is ending I wish that I could turn back time cos now the guilt is all mine cant live without the trust from those you love. I know we can't forget the past you cant forget love and pride because of that it's killing me inside It all returns to nothing, it all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down, it all returns to nothing, I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down, in my heart of hearts, I know that I called never love again I've lost everything everything that matters to me, matter in this world

Chopin's Funeral March, although it's surprisingly peppy at times.

I like Chopin's Nocturnes as well, especially Op72 No1 and his Fantaisie Imprompu in Dflat minor. I have on one or more occasions played both of these pieces naked in public places, but not been caught. Yet.

Some Vangelis is quite moody, especially Abraham's song. Many of the Blade Runner themes are good for introspection.

Wasn't there some group called "Stabbing Westwards" a couple of years back? If so, most likely all of the stuff from it was mighty depressing....it probably somewhat falls into the "hard rock" category though....beats me.

Depressing instrumentals, eh? I'm thinking roksteady versions of Jazz standards. Although they lean more towards the whistful/mournful side.

Tommy McCook and The Supersonics - Starry Night
Tommy McCook and The Supersonics - What The World Needs Now is Love
Tommy McCook - The Shadow of Your Smile
Tommy McCook and Lester Sterling - Inez
The Crystalites - Stop That Man (inclued the vocal "lalalalalalala ooh yeah")
Lyn Taitt and The Jets - To Sir With Love
Lester Sterling - Super Special

Or in an emergency:
Don Drummond - Eastern Standard Time
Val Bennett - The Russians Are Coming (Take Five)
Roland Alphonso - El Torro
The Crystalites - Bombshell
Carl Bryan - Way of Life
Tommy McCook - Eight Years After

However, since you're american I'm assuming you're more into Henrix-style classic-rock jams. I'd therefore suggest "Maggot Brain" by the Funkadelic as it is by far the most emotionally loaded such jam ever recorded.

My favorite depressing song ever is Randy Newman's "Old Man"; it can leave me in a fetal position for hours. The lyrics:

quote: Everyone has gone away Can you hear me? Can you hear me? No one cared enough to stay Can you hear me? Can you hear me? You must remember me old man I know that you can if you try So just open up your eyes, old man Look who's come to say goodbye The sun has left the sky, old man The birds have flown away And no one came to cry, old man Goodbye, old man, goodbye You want to stay, I know you do But it ain't no use to try 'Cause I'll be here-and I'm just like you Goodbye, old man, goodbye Won't be no God to comfort you You taught me not to believe that lie You don't need anybody Nobody needs you Don't cry, old man, don't cry Everybody dies

how about Wish?

quote: So many stars were out there but none of them did fall I guess none wanted to carry the burden of it all A time to cry, so much time to cry, little time to say goodbye And I would tell you I'll be brave and you'd know that it's a lie And the days'll turn weeks and the weeks'll turn years and I'll know that you were wrong There's nothing at the rainbows end but just another song So close and yet so far away is the mask she wears today It seems the open hand is closing, some things shell never give away Thelena, wear the crown of golden thorns Thelena, nail your hands onto your kite No spotlight on your self-made cross but your eyes come shining through Is desire just temptation or do angels long too? Don't need wings to be an angel, just the wind to pull you up No strings, no wings, no songs to sing as we dance into the sun Thelena, wear the crown of golden thorns Thelena, nail your hands onto your kite

:cry:

or

quote: The leaves were falling early, the year fortune looked away Gold and green looked brighter then, gold seems grey today The hands of the clock never went my way, nothing ever did So in the arms of indifference is where I'm going to stay Set the burning sails (horizon) Time weighs more than gold (a heartbeat) More than shoulders can bear All the years aflame (we're yearning) Burnmarks never fade (though we are) Going nowhere fast Have I lost you for the first time, it won't be the last For I'll lose you everytime my dreams fall apart, to dust I may have questions, I may have answers but I sure don't have you No one shakes an empty hand, let alone embrace the man Set the burning sails (horizon) Time weighs more than gold (a heartbeat) More than shoulders can bear All the years aflame (we're yearning) Burnmarks never fade (though we are) Going nowhere fast Never walk away Never turn your back on me Never walk out on me Set the burning sails Time weighs more than gold More than shoulders can bear All the years aflame Burnmarks never fade Going nowhere fast Breathing barely audible while I watch you fighting sleep But somewhere in the empty land, wolves among the sheep And all the promises I've ever made seem to break at first touch But that was then and all we've had is shattered for ever Never walk away Never turn your back on me Never walk out on me

The Eels also have this rare B-side called "Bad News", my god, now that song is a real killjoy.

Preferring "foetal" to "fetal" is just one more reason why you people no longer have an empire.

proof:


The moon is in the gutter
And the stars wash down the sink
I am the king of the blues
I scape the clay off my shoes
And wade down the gutter and the moon
The moon blinds my eye with opal cataracts
As I cut through the saw-mills and the stacks,
Leaping over the gully where I would one day take Lucy
Then wash up my hands in the gutter and the moon.
Such a long way from home, just me and
The moon is in the gutter
All my plans are flushed down the drain
I wander lonely as a cloud
Over memories at her mound
Then lie down in the bitter gutter moon.
