Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit.

Just thinking about how people could do that to other people gets me incredibly depressed.

The whole depressing thing is so subjective.

A song is really only depressing if it means something to you. IMO.

You can't just label a song depressing.

Shabadu

Quicksand- David bowie

That's a very good point. Guns 'n' Roses version of 'Cats in the Cradle' always gets me thinking. It was used in an ad regarding the troubles in Ireland.

Like the Johnny Cash version But the NIN version just beats it.Has a corrosive sound to it the video is of a fox decomposing.

Tar.Aldarion

i don't think they could put as much emotion in their voices and expressions as cash though...but i havn't heard it yet..so eh

Pet

Johnny Cash - Hurt (you have to see the video to really appreciate it).

*Angel*

2pac - Changes

Like the two versions the NIN version has the edge but would agree that the Johnny Cash video has the better visuals they make more of an impact.

JackKelly

I'm suprised Hallelujah hasn't been mentioned

oh, and the sound of silence.

The Clown Man

Radiohead - No Alarms - Christ it's about killing yourself - its bloody depressing.

Closely followed by The Drugs Dont Work by The Verve.

Tar.Aldarion

Dreamcatcher

The Smiths, Tim Buckley, Leonard Cohen can be depressing, if you happen to be already in that frame of mind. But they are all genius.

Gloomy sunday. The Billie holiday version is the best. It got banned from the radio for years as it was blamed for loads of suicides.
