Closing Time by Semisonic, that song has some rather depressing lines in it

i always feel kind of down after i hear it

Yesterday - The beatles
My Sweet Shadow - In Flames
Asleep - The Smiths
Take My Picture - Filter
I Knew I Loved You - Savage Garden (I aslo think this is a rather romantic song as well)
Adam's Song - Blink 182 (One of the more depressing/moving songs by Blink in my opinion anyhow)

Cold play aren't that depressing are they 0_o... Or is that just me...I would have said Linkin Park were quite depressing...

nick drake is god damn depressing.

How about the Cure or Depeche Mode?

i think burning image are a pretty depressing band. or anything from the death rock genre. depression is its forte somewhat.

Billie Holiday - 'Gloomy Sunday'

Written by an Hungarian composer after he supposedly read his girlfriend's suicide note.
Which read, simply... "gloomy Sunday".
Said to be the cause of numerous suicides, so much so, that the song was reportedly banned from the radio at the time.
He took his own life in his later years.

Oh, those cheery Hungarians.

Sunday is gloomy,
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black coaches
Sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Wouldnt they be angry
If I thought of joining you?

Gloomy sunday

Gloomy is sunday,
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and i
Have decided to end it all
Soon therell be candles
And prayers that are said I know
But let them not weep
Let them know that Im glad to go
Death is no dream
For in death Im caressin you
With the last breath of my soul
Ill be blessin you

Gloomy sunday

Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart here
Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is tellin you
How much I wanted you
Gloomy sunday
