100 Most Depressing Songs

BOBBY GOLDSBORO "Honey"

Yes, the most depressing song ever recorded. But, I love it.

If you saw the movie, the theme from Love Story is up there too.

58) Slipknot - Snuff

I see one song from that album, I'll put another
67. Slipknot- Dead Memories
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP5PqJpk5lQ&ob=av2e

anything with Slipknot, to me, is all depressing because of Paul Gray's death

68?) Kiss-I Still Love You

"White Dress" by Kenny Marks

(Couldn't find it on Youtube, even though I know there's a video for it.)

Anyway, Marks is a Christian Music artist, but don't let that fool you, the song doesn't really have anything to do with religion (at least not that I can see).  It's just a very, VERY sad story.  If you want to read the lyrics, you can click here:

I warn ya though, even without the music it's a pretty sad story, more so cause it happens a lot I'm sure.

I generally really dig Dan Tyminski as an artist/musician, but absolutely cannot listen to "Please Dear Mommy;" it's a song about a little girl who kills herself because her parents are fighting.

I always thought Bryan Adam's "Summer of 69" was really depressing, but then again, maybe that's just me.

I always thought Bryan Adam's "Summer of 69" was really depressing, but then again, maybe that's just me.

Funny, I always thought it was uplifiting because he's reflecting on a fun time.  Kind of like Bruce Springstein in Glory Days.

This would be an inspiring or uplifting song, except, the character who sings this in OLIVER! (the film or show) gets murdered...by the person she's singing about!!

I've always found that song amusing because Bryan Adams was born November 5, 1959. That means all his reminiscing is for his summer as a 9-year-old.

A companion song for this would be WILDFIRE by Michael Martin Murphy.
"He busted down his stall and in a blizzard he was lost ..."

Almost put that song in but forgot.  Instead:
