Truth.

And yet I can't stop listening, even though I know I will be horribly depressed after.

--- Quote from: Typhlosis on 29 Nov 2007, 21:19 ---To be honest, I never really found songs promoting nihilism or the ideologies behind it all that depressing. I have to agree that Joy Divisions work along with alot of the Cure to be some of the saddest stuff around. Particularly because both their singers look like the saddest-bastards ive ever seen.

Well the fact that they should remind you that nothing you do will mean anything on a large scale and that everything you stand for and love etc will eventually become dust should do it.

bells:
the national's 'son' is pretty melancholy, and its performed beautifully. i would almost rank it alongside with radiohead's 'how to disappear completely' if i didn't worship that song so darn much.

And if you follow me son
the wind will wrap around you
carry you from the ground
you will never be alone

your weight will turn to sunlight
that's falling on a girl
who's still inside the world

and how is the water of the rain
and how is the air of the wind
and how are the arms of your mother
she's holding you in

watch them as they try to fly their kites inside their bedrooms
that were only built for drinking
your thoughts they never lasted long when you were under the sky
above it you can hold a thought forever


also, from chan marshall herself:

His name was Perry
He had a learning difficulty
His father was a very mean man
His father burned his skin
His father send him to his death
He was ten years old
...
Her name was Sheryl
Black hair, like an electric space
She would pretty paint my face
She was a very good friend
Her father would come to her in the night
She was twelve years old
...
His name was Charles
He said he was in love with me
We were both fourteen
Then I had to move away
Then he begin to smoke crack
Then he had to sell ass
I don't know where he is
I don't know where they are

'running up that hill' by kate bush is a melancholy trap too.

there's a song by a dude in my hometown that has a line that goes

'i would read all night if it reminded me of she
but they don't write
and i don't read'

beautiful song.

--- Quote from: jeph on 29 Nov 2007, 17:01 ---I think the saddest thing I have heard is "Still Light" by The Knife:

"The doctor came in the morning
She held my hand
And asked "was it worth it?"
"Could it be worse than this?"
Please recall
Give me a hint
Anything will do
If this was the last time now you should tell us what to do

I was afraid I guess
Now I can't think no more
I was so concentrated
On keeping things together
I've learned to focus on
I didn't want to disappoint
Now where is everybody
Is it still light outside? "

I love that song.

"Cat Heaven".
"(Hospital Vespers)".

--- End quote ---

Anna, I entered this thread with two songs on my mind. You have stolen them you thief.
