The Pogues - The Band Played Waltzing Matilda.

Holy crap is that a depressing song.

Jawbreaker - Jet Black
Sorry About Dresden - As the Ruins are to Rome
Slint - Good Morning Captain (most emo song ever)
Townes Van Zandt - Marie
Tom Waits - Georgia Lee, Come on Up to the House
Jimmy Cliff - Many Rivers to Cross


I think my all-time winner is the original Five Blind Boys' version of "Goodbye Mother." Download it HERE

Amplify-

I like the lyrics posted. That kind of adds effect.

Another couple you HAVE to listen to

Ryan adams sweet carolina

"I went down to Houston
And I stopped in San Antone
I passed up the station for the bus
I was trying to find me something
But I wasn't sure just what
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust
So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
I was spending money like the way it likes to rain

Man I ended up with pockets full of cane"

Ryan adams "La cienega just smiled"

"And I hold you close in the back of my mind
And raise my glass 'cause either way I'm dead
Neither of you really help me to sleep anymore
One breaks my body and the other breaks my soul"

Ryan Adams

[/ QUOTE ]

Ryan Adams, "Come Pick Me Up"

Come pick me up
Take me out
[censored] me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends behind my back
With a smile on your face
And then do it again

I wish you’d make up my bed
So I could make up my mind
Try it for sleeping instead
Maybe you’ll rest sometime

The harmonica is so eff'ing good in this song

I always thought that if I was ever really depressed, I did not want to hear Staind because I might just wack myself. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that people have killed themselves to some of their songs.

Me either, but not because they're sad.

'Hurt' is a good one; the Johnny Cash version fits this particular bill better than the Nine Inch Nails original.

If we're going to talk about remakes, I propose the Ryan Adams version of 'Wonderwall' (the Oasis song), just for the way Adams wails "Wooonderwaaaaaalll" at the end of the chorus.

"Last Kiss" orginally by J. Frank Wilson, then covered by Pearl Jam (the PJ version is sadder)

[/ QUOTE ]

Seriously, in the original version, the guy sounds chipper singing it.

As far as I can tell everyone in America was chipper from 1952 - 1960. At least judging by pop records.

I think Jet Black is even more depressing, but this is def a better song.

Also "In Sadding Around" and "Ache" are pretty effin sad
