Depressing songs?

What are some good depressing songs?

Update:

I do not like emo, or screamo, ect. thank you. :-) I'm fine, just in an off mood. Thanks for the concern though.

Update 2:

Sort of in like a Landslide, Run Away Train, You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling kind of mood. :-)

    Source(s): My expansive playlist full of depressing, anxiety inducing, existentially wrenching songs. I HATE emo too. The best music is that which conveys emotion without being OVERLYsentimental like emo does. It just becomes drivel that can't be taken seriously.

    Here are some New Wave ones:

    Echo/Bunnymen- Killing Moon, Bring on Danc. Horses

    Joy Division- She's Lost Control, Love Will Tear Us Apart

    The Cure- Pornography, 17 Seconds

    David Bowie- Heroes

    Depeche Mode- Condemnation, Black Celebration

    New Order- Elegia

    Smiths-How Soon, Heaven Knows I'm Miserable, etc

    I can't do this anymore, it's bumming me out.

    Oh yeah, not new wave but Floyd's Wish You Were Here and Shine On You Crazy Diamond brings me to tears when I'm sad..

    Please!! The most depressing song of all time and one of my favorites is He Stopped Loving Her Today by George Jones

    He said I'll love you 'til I die

    She told him you'll forget in time

    As the years went slowly by She still preyed upon his mind

    He kept her picture on his wall

    Went half crazy now and then

    He still loved her through it all

    Hoping she'd come back again

    Kept some letters by his bed Dated 1962

    He had underlined in red Every single I love you

    I went to see him just today Oh but I didn't see no tears

    All dressed up to go away

    First time I'd seen him smile in years

    (Chorus)

    He stopped loving her today

    They placed a wreath upon his door

    And soon they'll carry him away

    He stopped loving her today

    (Spoken)

    You know she came to see him one last time

    Oh and we all wondered if she would

    And it kept running through my mind

    This time he's over her for good

    (Repeat Chorus)
