MUDS

(1/7) > >>

Wildonnie:
MUDS.  Massively, Utterly Depressing Songs.  Basically, it all started when I wanted to just listen to a bunch of songs that described the way I felt.  I don't know if this will be labeled as emo crap, and I don't really give a fark.  

The one thing I tried to stay away from was being genre-specific, but most of them fell in to Alternative.  Oh, well.  Here are a few I put on my first MUDS CD.  I'm reworking the next one as we speak (or type, or whatever).

Hootie & the Blowfish- Let Her Cry
Verve Pipe- The Freshman
Ben Folds- Brick
Pearl Jam- Jeremy




Got any MUDS?

Inlander:
The entirety of "August and Everything After" by Counting Crows.  Lovely songs - but god, that must be one of the most depressing albums ever recorded.  I haven't been able to bring myself to listen to it in years 'cause I know it's just going to bum me out every time.

KharBevNor:
top 5:

My Dying Bride-The Crown of Sympathy

'I'd fallen before, but it never hurt like this.
Don't leave me here to crawl through the mire.
I'm without fault before the throne of god.
Take from me the Crown of Sympathy!'

Candlemass-Solitude

'Hate is my only friend
Pain is my father
Torment is delight to me
Death is my sanctuary
I seek it with pleasure
Please let me die in solitude...'

Sopor Aeternus and the Ensemble of Shadows-Hades "Pluton"

'I sensed the wretched spectres of the drowned
Staring across from some distant shore,
and in my sadness I drew closer,
to condole and somewhat to implore ...

I am like the doubtful kiss of a corpse
or maybe the kiss of an ancient stone.
Yes, it's like kissing some marble statue
that has neither warmth nor life of its own....'

:Of the Wand and the Moon: - Here's to Misery (A Toast)

'Like the spear of Longinus
The loneliness cuts in my heart
Will I ever find my solace?
Will I ever find clarity?
I know my pain shall last
And yours will surely pass
And all dreams shall be
Emptiness and misery'

Sisters of Mercy - Bury me Deep

'Unsung
Unsaid
Not borrowed, broken and torn
On the bed tomorrow, mourning
Before you sleep
Bury me deep'

A short list. I have a MASSIVE playlist of depressing music, for wallowing or for pretending to be a glumbunny when I'm really all smiles and (black) rainbows.

muffy:
My entire music collection consists of MUDS...
So here's a few choice ones:

Bright Eyes - No Lies, Just Love
Lately I've  been feeling like I don't belong, like the ground's not mine to walk upon...
So I prefer to be remembered as a smiling face, not this fucking wreck that's taken it's place
So please forgive what I have done, no you can;t stay mad at the setting sun, 'cause we all get tired, I mean eventually, there is nothing left to do but sleep

Seriously, how can you not feel mildly suicidal when listening to that?
Also...
Azure Ray - November
Elliott Smith - Between the Bars
Trespassers William - Different Stars
Interpol - untitled
The Arcade Fire - In the Backseat
Josh Rouse - Sad Eyes
The Smiths - I know it's over
Delays - Stay where you are
Mazzy Star - Fade into You
Meanwhile Back In Communist Russia - Heliotrope
Radiohead - exit music for a film
The Doors - The End
Her Space Holiday - Lydia

And pretty much anything off the Hate album by delgados.
And Brick (ben folds) seconded!

ev0lve:
ani difranco - sick of me
nine inch nails - and all that could have been
ben harper - another lonely day & walk away
radiohead - like spinning plates, how to disappear completely.. ok, lots of radiohead songs.
