    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.

    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.

    Ah was that the one they used? It's been ages since that ad was on so I'm probably wrong.

    yeah i agree that a song maybe be dpressing to one person but [insert emotion here] to another person depending on the memories associated with it.

    anyway for me U2 - bad, David Gray - sail away
