Depressing Music

ShuggaStiletto · 18-10-2006

Weird topic? Yes...but I have a friend going through a difficult time and I'm going to make her a CD and need some suggestions. I'll mix in happy music too to cheer her up, but I want touching music that'll mean something to her...something to relate to.

thanks.

well, avoid Radiohead...

it is proven that Mozart and Blur made music that can put u in a better place...

duran duran-early hits r lovely, boy george, and 2 songs that make me wanna jump r timo mass - first day and **** forever...
and twist and shout, give peace a chance, and if u want u make someone laugh simply him/her the early 90s so called hits from 2unlimited, or marky mark, take that, spice girls..

well, i have fever so i cannot think of more... but i hope i was helpfull, for just a little bit

Belle & Sebastian!!! for the happy music

Bright Eyes, Iron & Wine, David Gray, Damien Rice, Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, Joseph Arthur, Rufus Wainwright, Sufjan Stevens, for the depressing part....you may check out some lyrics and then decide what song fits best...

Depeche Mode is what I recommend...

La bordélique · 19-10-2006

Placebo. Especially songs from Black Market Music and Without You I'm Nothing.

Some albums:

Your Funeral... My Trial - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Broken English - Marianne Faithfull
Berlin - Lou Reed
The Idiot - Iggy Pop
Low - David Bowie
The Marble Index - Nico
Turn on the Bright Lights - Interpol
Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan
Closing Time - Tom Waits

And anything by Cat Power / Leonard Cohen / Joy Division / The Smiths

Billie Holliday is the ultimate depressed music. pretty much anything by her is good for someone feeling down.

I also agree with whoever it was the mentioned Rufus Wainwright and Jeff Buckley, specifically Go or Go Ahead by Rufus and Jeff Buckley's version of Lilac Wine....they're so good.

Crosby, Stills Nash & Young (first album)

milamar · 23-10-2006

you can also add some the smiths music, like 'how soon is now', 'i know it's over', 'last night i dreamt that somebody loved me' and 'still ill'. they are beautifully sad and meaningful, if only you want to listen deeper.
i also guess block party, interpol and muse may not be a bad choice, either.

good luck for your friend, shugga!

Here Is Gone - The Goo Goo Dolls
Rain - Breaking Benjamin

That is all I can think of off the top of my head.

"Here is Gone" ... I definitely have a thing for "depressing music"... add on "Name" from the Goo Goo Dolls, too...
