Adding 2 both by Guns N Roses
Dont Cry
November Rain

It is either depressing or inspiring depending on how you look at it? Wendy was a real woman dying of AIDS negotiating with her maker before committing suicide.

Although he didnt compose this it is his version that everyone knows..A song about love lost



The following are by Black Tape for a Blue Girl ..They have always pulled at the heart strings for me...Their album A Chaos of Desire is one of the most evocative and emotionally draining things I have listened to.





This is an instrumental by them...



Peter Murphy from Bauhaus though this is from his solo work...



The Cure



The closing song to the amazing soundtrack from The Crow..

Oh yes indeed she is! It's a flawless set, it will be an hour and a half well spent I assure you.

Moving away from bands and onto movie scores...

From The Last Samurai OST the closing song..A Small Measure of Peace...




Braveheart by the late James Horner..



The Crow from the score and not the OST...Last Rites

This one is a cover but I like it better than the original and lyrically you can't get more depressed. he song title says it all.

Good song..

Faith and the Muse doing the same song off the Passion of Covers (Bauhaus fans will get that reference) ..

I actually had this in one of my other replies but find the song, video and just the emotion behind to be worthy of it's own reply...


From the Black Hawk Down score..

Denez Prigent and Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance doing Gortoz A Ran - J'Attends .

Makes me miss my dad .

An amazing performance by the singer makes .. me hurt

This always makes me sad too.

I think this one is sad:


And to me, the saddest of the Smiths' songs:

Wrong...I laughed at myself for posting it

Sunshine, blue skies, please go away...

Some good ol' Temptations:

This one is so depressing it actually makes people kill themselves , you have been warned.

These three songs will mellow the mood in a room every time...
