OK you asked for itOriginally Posted by Just Eric
Hmmm, I've listened to many of the songs posted in the thread and don't find them depressing at all, then again I pretty much don't listen to lyrics.I guess my distinction is between depressing music and depressing songs - completely different.
More disturbing than depressing.
I found this tumblr site with a great list of sad, sad, music.

I'm listening to song #4, Giles Corey, Guilt is my Boyfriend and I want to slash my wrists just to make it stop!!

This could qualify as it's own thread: "Happy Sounding or Beautiful Music; Depressing Lyrics"
Pause button worked fine for me.
All of the tracks posted here are just wanker emo stuff -- nothing seriously suicidal, just teenaged acne self-absorbed mirror gazing.
Huh>??? I listened to all and wouldn't characterize a single track as Teenage Emo Wanker stuff .... maybe we have different definitions of Teenage Emo Wanker.

For those that want a list of of depressing instrumental music, some of these might be of interest:
Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings (a bit cliche, but it is still sad/depressing)
Penderecki - Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima
Shostakovich - symphony 4, 8, 10, Pretty much any of his String quartets
Schnittke - Piano Quintet
Gorecki - Symphony 3
Rautavaara - Cantus Arcticus
And if there were a god, I think it very unlikely that he would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence - Russell
Elgar's Cello Concerto goes right to the heart of melancholy and despair.
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down.'- Bob Newhart
Excellent call!

Well by "here" I meant the link Just Eric posted, right above my reply: http://depressing-music.tumblr.com/
And by I listened to all the songs and not one was Emo I was referring to the same link. Hence, we obviously have vastly different definitions of Emo.

That music is not happy sounding, but it is beautiful. \
That's exactly what I was going to say. You beat me to it!
