Most Depressing Songs...

[LoveTheBlade]

I have nothing better to do, so let's see you can come up with the most depressing song....

I Nominate Harry Chapin "Cat's in the Cradle"

 

[Shann]

Operator, by Jim Croce.

Croce and Chapin are both great for depressing songs.

 

[pilgrimuk]

Take your pick from nearly any Leonard Cohen.

David Allen Coe - You Never Even Called Me By My Name "Well I was drunk the day my momma got out of prison" etc.

 

[Jastab]

Anything Taylor Swift

 

[galactorrhea]

Second Jim Croce as go-to depressed tunes. And R.E.M.

[machineage]

"Georgia Lee" by Tom Waits. Based on a true account of the murder of a young girl. If this song don't rip your heart out,you probably don't have one.

Gale Garnett - We'll Sing in the Sunshine (1964) - I get creeped out whenever I hear that song.
