haha, i'm assuming you mean the ova 'kite'. yeah, i saw it in original form... hentai and all. anyway, back to the topic. i'm very surprised no one has mentioned 'oh my love' by sophia or 'in the cold i'm standing' by M83. they're both intense on your heart. actually, a good amount of M83's songs can be a bit depressing... it depends on the mood you started out in. this also goes for god is an astronaut, as well as many other shoegaze bands.
here's some more to try out. a lot of them aren't reposts and are perhaps overlooked. they are all, however, just as depressing as most other songs posted in this thread. you can probably listen to most of these on hypem.com or deezer.com. otherwise, you'll just have to use limewire/bearshare/whatever. streets of philadelphia- bruce springsteen bright eyes- simon and garfunkel how it ends- devotchka my body is a cage- arcade fire broken drum (boards of canada remix)- beck musou tani- susumu hirasawa fish silent cruise- yoko kanno honey and the moon- joseph arthur everybody's gotta learn sometimes- beck knocked up- kings of leon the cape of storms- hyde when everything dies- god is an astronaut because i'm a girl- kiss planetarium- ai otsuka when you leave- maps one more time, one more chance- yamazaki masayoshi the part where you let go- hem naked as we came- iron and wine orange sky- alexi murdoch
When I was in high school, and later in college nobody could feed my depressed moods better than the Cure. I'll admit I'm not connected to music nearly as much now as I was then, but I haven't heard anybody in recent years that could capture the thoughts trapped in my head better than Robert Smith.
I haven't read all 21 pages, and don't intend to do so, but if it hasn't already been mentioned, I think "Ants Marching" is one of the most upbeat depressing songs ever written.
"Say It Isn't So" Skies are dark it's time for rain Final call you board the train Heading for tomorrow I wave goodbye to yesterdays Wipe the tears you hide your face Blinded by the sorrow How can I be smiling like before When baby, you don't love me anymore Say it isn't so Tell me you're not leaving Say you changed your mind now That I am only dreaming That this is not goodbye This is starting over If you wanna know I don't wanna let go So say it isn't so Ten to five at least we tried We're still alive but hope just died As they close the door behind you Whistle blows and tons of steel Shake the ground beneath the wheels As I wish I never found you How can I be smiling when you're gone Will I be strong enough to carry on Miles and miles to go before I can say, Before I can lay my love for you to sleep Oh, darling oh I got miles and miles to go Before anyone will ever hear Me laugh again
"Cancer" Turn away, If you could get me a drink Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded Call my aunt Marie Help her gather all my things And bury me in all my favorite colors, My sisters and my brothers, still, I will not kiss you, 'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you. Now turn away, [Cancer lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com] 'Cause I'm awful just to see 'Cause all my hairs abandoned all my body, Oh, my agony, Know that I will never marry, Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo But counting down the days to go It just ain't living And I just hope you know That if you say (if you say) Goodbye today (goodbye today) I'd ask you to be true (cause I'd ask you to be true) 'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you 'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
Kenny Rogers - Ruby, don't take your love to town. Seriously... don't laugh. Have you ever actually paid attention to the lyrics? He's a crippled war vet whose wife is going to leave him & he'd rather kill her than let her go. Gets me every time.
I don't know about this depression thingamy, but there are songs and other music that certainly evoke sadness, a kind of grief I suppose, a deeper feeling too, underneath that (with a lot of the stuff I try to play - classical Romantic) Neil Young's lyrics and the music are good at doing this to me. I'd say There's a World would be one of those. It's simple, melody-wise, but then a lot of tunes with a simple structure are evocative, maybe 'cause they're fundamental at some level. Two classical pieces that make me feel similar are Tchaikowsky's October, and Ravel's prelude in C. You can really hear something that's kind of desolate, and lost, but also kind of hopeful, in both of these.

I have to block out thoughts of you, so I don't lose my head They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I'm alone Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain An ounce of peace is all I want for you, Will you never call again? And will you never say that you loved me just to put it in my face And will you never try to reach me, it is I that wanted space Hate me today. Hate me tomorrow. Hate me for all the things i didn't do for you. Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow. Hate me so you can finaly see what's good for you. I'm sober now for 3 whole months, it's one accomplishment that you helped me with. The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won't touch again. In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate. You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take So I'll drive so fucking far away that I'll never cross your mind And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind Hate me today. Hate me tomorrow. Hate me for all the things i didn't do for you. Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow. Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you. And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I have made And like a baby boy I never was a man Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand And then I fell down yelling "Make it go away!" Just make her smile come back and shine just like it used to be And then she whispered "How can you do this to me?" Hate me today. Hate me tomorrow. Hate me for all the things i didn't do for you. Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow. Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you.
