I am in kind of a down mood so it got me thinking, what is the most depressing song/piece you have ever heard?

 

[VicAjax]

Big Star - "Holocaust"

 

[SigNuM]

Elend - Silent Slumber: A God That Breeds Pestilence (classical)

Theatre Of Tragedy - And When He Falleth (gothic/doom metal)

I think those two pieces are rather depressing.

Sinead O'Connor - "Nothing Compares to you"

Saddest Piece due to Historic Significance: John Adams - On the Transmigration of Souls and Gorecki - 3rd Symphony

Saddest Piece of Absolute Music: Mahler - 6th Symphony. No other piece of music leaves me as emotionally drained afterward. The final hammer blow makes me jump in my seat every time and my heart is torn between racing from being startled and slowing to a crawl due to the despair contained in the music.

I've always been partial to RHCP's "Under the Bridge"...

Lyrically, Ben Folds "Give Judy My Notice," "Still Fighting It" and "Fred Jones Part II" are quite sad in my opinion. There's something about poigniant lyrics and solo piano that gets me.

Absolutely, though of course the melancholy of this work is more than an emotion.
