Have to ask. How the hell is Island the most depressing song that comes to mind? haha

[theguy77]

elliott smith can make you feel like shit.

[fivergirl]

depressing:
Several Ways to Die Trying - Dashboard Confessional
In Circles - Sunny Day Real Estate

feel good:
Get Better - Mates of State (and most things by them)

[Amour For Liars]

Have to ask. How the hell is Island the most depressing song that comes to mind? haha
Lol,well I i had a great relationship..This girl,she had to move from St.Louis to phoenix,Az. Really nothing I couldnt do to keep her from floating away lol.

[AMackChuck]

Spring by Wintersleep is really, really melancholy. Love it.

[mallrat37]

Oh and as for uplifting song
Jimmy Eat World - A Sunday

and most depressing band to me is Brand New

[TSLROCKS]

Lol,well I i had a great relationship..This girl,she had to move from St.Louis to phoenix,Az. Really nothing I couldnt do to keep her from floating away lol.

[anthonydarko]

Gary Jules cover of Mad World, so, so depressing.

[TSLROCKS]

Agreed. Always feel sad after listening to that song so I try not to put it on too often and save it for a really shitty day

[andherewego]

Most Depressing:
Everything I Once Had - The Honorary Title
Most Uplifting:
So Much Love - The Rocket Summer

[Gat$by]

Gary Jules cover of Mad World, so, so depressing.

this.

[syntax omitted]

anything from GSYBE is extremely depressing, meanwhile Ode We Will Bury Ourselves by Moving Mountains always uplifts me in a way that words cannot explain

[SophGod]

Gary Jules cover of Mad World, so, so depressing.

the last scene in donnie darko is so much more powerful with that song than it would be with any other song.

[HelloxAlone]

All of This-Blink 182
Self Conclusion - The Spill Canvas


Definitely agree on All of This.
But for me, one of my most depressing songs is 'Lover Dearest' by Marianas Trench.
They're not well known internationally, but up my way they are, and it's an amazing song.
or Anberlin's cover of 'Creep' by Radiohead, always gives me chills.
As for a depressing band, I've gotta agree with the one who said Brand New.

[anthonydarko]

the last scene in donnie darko is so much more powerful with that song than it would be with any other song.
Agreed, it was the perfect song for that scene.

[NateFoundGlory]

I Can Feel A Hot One - Manchester Orchestra

Always gets me.

[SixOneOne]

Uplifting: Angels and Airwaves: The Adventure

[mycuban]

Thursday- This Song Brought You By A Falling Bomb
Right Away, Great Captain!- Cutting Off The Blood To Ten
Elliott Smith- just everything he wrote pretty much, but if i had to choose one, No Name No. 5

Band in general
Depressing - Copeland (especially you are my sunshine, love that albumb)
Uplifting - Fun

[Dubui_209]

A Day To Be Alone - Onelessreason

[anthonydarko]

As for a song that lifts my spirits up, Say Anything- Wow I Can Get Sexual Too always cheers me up.

[AsItFallsApart]

Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt is way up there in the downer dept for me

[anthonydarko]

I'm surprised no one had mention I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab For Cutie. That's one song that'll bum you out.

[carlster!]

Island? Really? I mean, I read the description, but really? wow haha It makes me so...cheerful

My song would have to be The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows by Brand New...the video adds a lot to that
The two songs that always pump me up are And I Told Them I Invented Times New Roman-DGD and Creatures For a While-311

Scary Kids Scaring Kids is the band I listen to when I'm down...specifically The City Sleeps In Flames album.
A Day to Remember is definitely one of the most up lifting bands ever...they sing so much about friends :)

[tawtaw]

Sleeper 1972 by Manchester Orchestra

as for a feel-good song: Look At Me! I'm A Winner! by The Aquabats

[musikjunky311]

Depressing- The trapeze swinger- Iron&Wine. It has just been that song, that pesky song that is played when times were good, so you have to remember them, and when it was horrible and you were laying on the floor just feeling that empty feeling in the pit of your stomach.

Uplifting- Chemical Calisthenics -Blackalicious. haha it is a rap song about chemistry, how can you not smile?

[anthonydarko]

California by Copeland deserves a mention for being pretty depressing.

[CalRahhh]

Most songs from Sigur Ros' Takk..., and "Procession Of The Dead Clowns" by Blut aus Nord is possibly the most depressing instrumental ever created.

[_Andrew]

I'm surprised no one had mention I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab For Cutie. That's one song that'll bum you out.

There are far more depressing DCFC songs...

[_Andrew]

California by Copeland deserves a mention for being pretty depressing.

agreed.

[nerdvglc]

Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt is way up there in the downer dept for me
good call. it makes it even more depressing that he covered that so close to his death, and owned it with his conviction and sincerity.

[queenofcrouton]

Depressing : Bayside - Winter
Uplifting : I am the Avalanche - Winter/Summer

I listen to Brand New a lot when I'm down.

[dancelukedance]

A Space To Grow - The Dangerous Summer

[Pawan1993]

Lydia always makes me depressed. Why is it that most indie bands that sing about a girl problems depressing? There are some that cheer me up but most are depressing.

Edit: Brand New and old Manchester Orchestra really make me down.

[Pawan1993]

Sleeper 1972 by Manchester Orchestra

as for a feel-good song: Look At Me! I'm A Winner! by The Aquabats

Uplifting: The Hang Ups - Jump Start (it's in Chasing Amy when Holden and Alyssa are hanging out...good happy montage music)

[iplaythevocals]

[yellowhouse]

Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt is way up there in the downer dept for me

Indeed. Watch the video for that song for ultimate depressing, he looks like hes on the verge of death...probably because he was. Heavy stuff.

[ikikwe]

What is the (one of) most depressing song(s) to you? Why?

Over all most depressing/uplifting artist to you?

My number most depressing song that comes to mind is The Starting Line -Island.
Blink182 -Wendy Clear always seems to cheer me up.

Armor For Sleep is my meloncolie depressing band.
And Bomb the Music Industry is a band that never fails to get my mind off the BS.
The lyrics to Wendy Clear are pretty defeatist, in all honesty.

Bon Iver - Skinny Love
Yes. This times a thousand.

Several of The Ergs! songs get to me. Specifically: Books About Miles Davis, Everything Falls Apart & More, Stinking of Whiskey Blues, and Upstairs/Downstairs. Also, I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Dresden Dolls' - Delilah. Holy fuck.

To cheer me up, I usually to Blink-182 or Fireworks.

[DejaNew]

Listen to The Microphones-Mount Eerie if you want to know how sad shit can get.

[rockstarK9]

Gary Jules - Madworld
Jimmy Eat World - My Sundown
Armor for Sleep - Dream to Make Believe

Total wrist slasher combo

[SophGod]

everytime i hear Existentialism On Prom Night by Straylight Run i wanna cry, but that's for personal reasons. so its depressing for me.

[anthonydarko]

agreed.
Now that I think about, Beneath Medical Tree as a whole is pretty depressing, if not most of Copeland's discography.

[imahoodlum]

Lydia-Illuminate. The whole fucking album.

[Tead42]

Everyone really hit this thread perfectly.
Gotta say I add to Sleeper 1972 though, gets me every time.

[Dempsey]

[aoftbsten]

Limousine- Brand New

I was going to say Sensible Heart, but it has a slightly uplifting mood despite it's depressingness.

[panties_nz]

Depending on your mood, The Smiths can be strangely uplifting. If your not in the right mood, it can be a slow torturous death.

If I'm feeling sulky, Konstantine by SoCo or Tiger Lily by Matchbook Romance can be pretty depressing.

[cinderandsmoke]

[jessicaa__]

Depressing:
Bon Iver - Skinny Love
Bright Eyes - The Calendar Hung Itself (don't think anyone's said this yet and that surprises me, hah.)
David Bazan - Curse Your Branches (actually, most of Bazan/Pedro is wicked depressing.)
Neutral Milk Hotel - Holland, 1945
All Elliot Smith.
Some Brand New and Glen Hansard/The Swell Season.
Some Explosions in the Sky gets me down too.

If I'm feeling sulky, Konstantine by SoCo or Tiger Lily by Matchbook Romance can be pretty depressing.
what is your avatar from? i know i have seen him before haha.

[MADSTA]

elliott smith can make you feel like shit.

which is awesome because hes engaging enough to make you feel what he feels (well.. felt). i actually adore that in music.
My #1.
And my favourite album of his is probably also his most depressing.

[SlappedActor]

"Colorblind" by Counting Crows is sad as hell.

[sargentlgfuad]

What do you mean? Do you want, like, the barcode for the album too?
i just now got the joke.

[TheVsed]

Over all most depressing/uplifting artist to you?

Armor For Sleep is my meloncolie depressing band.
And Bomb the Music Industry is a band that never fails to get my mind off the BS.

are you kidding me????? island is one of the most upbeat songs they have


Therefore I Am - Traces
The Used - Say Days Ago
Drop Dead, Gorgeous - Love is Murder (2nd half)

[flks511]

Any current band in the crabcore/scenecore genre will generally put me in a depressing mood, merely because it makes me think about what the scene has become.

[TheVsed]

Any current band in the crabcore/scenecore genre will generally put me in a depressing mood, merely because it makes me think about what the scene has become.

in that case brokencyde is the most depressing group

[phillycheese37]

8 pages, and Bayside is only mentioned once. Any song from their first three releases (Sirens and Condolences, Self-Titles, Acoustic) have to be mentioned. Specifically Don't Call Me Peanut, and Winter.

[Star Slight]

Asleep by The Smiths is the most depressing song that I've ever heard.


As for uplifting, I always liked "Your Love is Lifting Me Higher" by Jackie Wilson

[0b4m4]

Start the Machine - Angels and Airwaves.

[E5CAP3 ART15T]

Depressing As Cities Burn "The Widow"

Uplifting The Limousines "Very Busy People"

[will_to_burn]

I'm surprised no one had mention I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab For Cutie. That's one song that'll bum you out.

My friend mentioned this song, and he and I agree. It makes you think a lot, it's scary.

[DeusExMachina]

Gary Jules cover of Mad World, so, so depressing.
Yup.

I think what one would consider a depressing song is unique to them, because certain songs have emotional ties to parts in their life that may of been rough. For example, I always get really sad when I listen to +44- Weatherman, due to the fact that I listened to that song alot during a rough point in my life.

[blissfulrain]

Depressing: Blink-182 - Adam's Song
Uplifting: Secret & Whisper - The Actress

[HoldThatSound]

death cab for cutie - your heart is an empty room

Averi - Goodnight, Goobye
Motion City Soundtrack - Hold Me Down
Paramore - Brick by Boring Brick

I'm surprised no one had mention I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab For Cutie. That's one song that'll bum you out.

agreed. when the first line of a song is "love of mine, someday you will die"...it tends to be depressing.

[Jaimehere]

and most songs from The Starting Line's Say It Like You Mean It are very sad

[JeffreyHammonds]

Holidaze and Curacao Blue by Mansions are both pretty depressing...the original demo versions are far more depressing than the tracks from New Best Friends

[DrStrong]

Mansions reference, good shit.

[nowFace]

for depressing i would have to say Deftones acoustic version of BE QUIET & DRIVE... idk if its the slick strumming or chino's icy voice but it just gets me.

for uplifting i would definatly have to say Mara & Me by SA
