Tragic/depressing lyrics and happy music?
 
Hi guys!
I'm looking for music with tragic/depressing lyrics but "happy" music :p:
For example:
Hollywood Undead - Bullet
The Devil Makes Three - Old Number Seven
No heavy metal or stuff like that xD
(excuse my english, im swedish :p:)
But if anyone knows a song like that write here :)

Mmmm, Breathe Again by The Reign of Kindo fits, I guess. In a way.

It's really not a really "happy" song, but it's an elegant ballad.

Just about any song off Of Montreal's Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer would do it.

This is tragic.. (There are a number of different artist that cover "Last Kiss"). Early 60s music.

Unfortunately, all I could find was a live recording of this but at least the sound quality is good. Pretty cheery music but the lyrics are about a very bitter divorce.

Let Down by Radiohead is the first thing that comes to mind. Depressing lyrics but the instrumentals are kind of uplifting.

Hateful - The Clash - YouTube

The Cure - 'Close To Me' is the first song that comes into my head. It's basically a song about wishing you were dead set to a groovy bassline and upbeat instrumentation.



I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed
asleep today

I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
this close to me

just try to see in the dark
just try to make it work
to feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
hold my breath
and wait until I shake...

but if I had your faith
then I could make it safe and clean
if only I was sure
that my head on the door was a dream

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
this close to me

but if I had your face
then I could make it safe and clean
if only I was sure
that my head on the door was a dream

The chorus sounds very happy. Some pretty dark lyrics.
