Jack Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 The only depressing thing about HIM is that people actually spend money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demonmike04 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 The whole of H.I.M-Dark Light, and msot stuff by Nirvana.When i lsitened to dark light, i actually got depressed. OH! And morrisey, but i must admit he is quite good. Dark light isnt much of a depressing album compared to others, like love metal. Theres quite a few feel-good songs on there, like killing loneliness. Play dead is really depressing though... Angels and airwaves...depressing because they are just plain awful in my opinion, nobody wants you to sing Tom! It was always Mark that impressed!

Mr. Bananagrabber Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Josh Radin- Winter. Please don't just skip over this track, it really is beautiful. It was used in Scrubs in Ben's funeral scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Apart from Gary Jules - Mad World, a good depressing (oxymoron?) song is Timothy by Jet. But that makes me depressed 'cos it reminds me of my cousin. You may or may not find it depressing. Still a good song though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like an oxymoron, but it isnt, since the meaning for good and depressing dont clash, good describes your opinion about something, but if you wrote happy depressing, it would of been an oxymoron.

Ramar Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 and msot stuff by Nirvana. WTF.. Just no. (But thats just my opinion) The drugs don't work - The Verve Thats the only depressive song I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizz Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-497394882440593140&q=burzum The Burzum music video, it's not the most depressing song he made, but you get the idea. The video is a bit crap, but since he was in jail not much he can do about that :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because HIM called one of their albums "Love Metal" doesn't make it Metal. In fact, calling HIM metal is an insult to all Metal music. Pile o' crap.

Owen Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I love HIM, but i wouldn't say the music is depressing, because his gothic, wears alot of black and sings about gothic stuff doesn't make it depressing, more enchanting! Anyway his songs are really catchy! Sigur rós are superb and are very similar to a band called 'Mew' who also rock! Again i wouldn't say depressing just 'very' relaxing, background music. I love Gary Jules version of Mad World, i didn't like it at all until i saw Donnie Darko, it's depressing because it really is spot-on lyrically about life in my opinion even though you don't really want it to be. I say 'Radiohead' are very depressing, there not my cup of tea but musically they are very good. Muse as well? Perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monopolyman Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 you'll be slittiing your wrists in no time That's the best use of a cheesy grin at the end of a sentence I've ever seen. U2 are a surprisingly good source for depressing music. I especially recommend 'Running to Stand Still' and 'Kite'. Also 'Tired of You' and 'Razor' by Foo Fighters, and 'Everybody Hurts' by REM (An obvious on, but for a reason). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Personally Sarah McLachlan's "Full of Grace" always touches a nerve becasue it reminds me of that-thing-who-shares-the-same-parents-as-me. Used to be able to name a lot of depressing songs, but now, not so much. Trying to think of a few... K's Choice - What the Hell is Love? Sufjan Stevens - John Wayne Gacy, Jr. Will Young - All Time Love Umm im stuck... I've tried to cut down my depressing music - trying to focus on the happy.
