Most Depressing Song
I was just wondering what song everyone finds the most depressing. I'm trying to make a CD of all depressing songs for whatever reason. Anyway, I would have to say the most depressing song for me is the Johnny Cash cover of "Hurt".
Edit: Sorry if this thread has already been started, but since the search function is down I had no way of knowing.

I think it has been, but I doubt anyone is worried
I'll second "Hurt".

"And So It Goes" by Billy Joel, just about cried the first time i heard it.
"Hurt" is also a great choice

Tom Waits - Take It With Me Spiritualized - Broken Heart The Get Up Kids - I'll Catch You Warren Zevon - Let Us Not Get Sick R.I.P. Sorry, went a little overboard but those are just a few of my favorites

Pantera - Hollow
What's left inside him? Don't he remember us? Can't he believe me? We seemed like bothers Talked for hours last month About what we wanna be I sit now with his hand in mine But I know he can't feel... (chorus) No one knows What's done is done It's as if he were dead I'm close with his mother And she cries endlessly Lord how we miss him At least what's remembered It's so important to make best friends in life But it's hard when my friend sits with blank expressions (chorus) No one knows What's done is done It's as if he were dead He as hollow as I alone now He as hollow as I alone A shell of my friend Just flesh and bone There's no soul He sees no love I shake my fists at skies above Mad at God He as hollow as I converse I wish he'd waken from this curse Hear my words before it's through I want to come in after you My best friend He as hollow as I alone |

Hey Itchy, along with those 3 Dashboard songs, add "This Bitter Pill" Chris Carrabba (their singer) stopped playing that song live because he couldn't get through it. I guess he played it at a few shows their last tour but unfornatly not at the one I went to. I was really hoping he would.

I, personally, would say that Neil Young's song (from the same movie as Bruce's) "Philadelphia" is much more "depressing". Still, both are great, great songs.

I just heard this old country song I think called "the hardest thing I'll ever have to do(is holding her, and loving you)" I have no idea who sings it, but it's about this guy that's cheating on his wife, and how it sucks that he's cheating, it sucks that he has to tell the woman he's cheating with that he can't see her anymore, and it sucks to go back to his wife but still think about his mistress. The whole song is depressing, and I bet a good thing for anyone that's ever thought of cheating to hear. Or you can just remember what the drunk married doctor told me he thinks of when he sees the cute nurses-

"Maps" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
If anyone has seen this live or the music video the emotion Karen O puts out is amazing. Especially in contrast to their other songs.
