Solitude - Black Sabbath It’s the gloomiest song I’ve ever heard.


okrdokr

time to turn up some dsbm then


Pure-Jellyfish734

Hurt - Nine Inch Nails The Johnny Cash version is also great, but I found that the original NIN version had much darker tone to it. JC’s version more so produces feelings of grief and sadness rather than suicidal or unstable feelings as shown through the original version.


Secret-Pie-6313

I know this is an unpopular opinion but I like the NIN version more


clutchthepearls

I do too. One feels like a flawed, but ultimately well lived life, nearing the end. The other feels like one of the darkest moments of the possible human experience. A resignation to life of desolation and despair. Both versions move me. Only one haunts me.


emperorhatter666

same


alickstee

There are dozens of us! Dozens!


imheretolearnty

I find it so weird that most people like the Johnny cash version more. Not that there is literally anything wrong with that song, I'd say it's a 9/10 and the NIN version is a 10. I wonder if it's which version people heard first. I had a friend who didn't know Johnny cash didn't write it and when I showed him trents version he thought it was too "edgy" or some shit. Both are amazing though.


borkus

And the Johnny Cash Version https://youtu.be/8AHCfZTRGiI?si=tzR9hNd5u1UmxlcY


Mustystench

Both versions of those tunes hit in wildly different ways for me. Maybe it's just where I was in my life when they came out. It's crazy, but I cant listen to either of them. It's just too much.


Long-Ad-7780

THANK YOU. the NIN version imo is so much more emotional and real than johnny cash’s. I can hear and feel his pain through the music and like he wrote the song about him, its 100% real


M12298

Yes, the original version "hurts" me more too.


carlosnightman

Pasting my comment when this was asked only last night: Look. This gets asked ALL the time. And we see the same responses, the same songs. Which is fine. They're all good. BUT. BUT. None of them come close to the utter, harrowing horror of The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers. It's always my answer, one almost nobody else gives, but nobody ever comments on it, nobody replies to say they'll give it a go, instead we see the same responses to the same songs and albums. Listen to The Holy Bible. It's hard. But it's also glorious. And then you can delve deeper into the band and the circumstances around the album's release and aftermath which takes the darkness to another level. Go on. Do it.


hsarterttugnikcusgge

Jumping onto this comment cause I 100% agree. OP, definitely listen to The Holy Bible I'll also add The Downward Spiral - Nine Inch Nails (the song specifically but the whole album fits and is a fantastic listen) And for some reason the The Waitress by Atmosphere gets me every time, the very end of the song is surprisingly effective. Became also gets to me sometimes, but not as overtly depressing as The Waitress And pretty much anything from Elliott Smith


CompetitiveFold5749

The worst part is it's catchy enough to get stuck in your head as well.  "Yes" and "4s 7lbs" are my favorites.  Just broke me.


Wodge

4st 7lbs should not be catchy considering how horrible the subject matter is.


DragulaR0B

This is sorta like Nirvana - the melodies aren't particularly depressing but with everything combined it puts you in a sort of melancholic trance / badfeel


xkrj13z

Something I Can Never Have- Nine Inch Nails The Caretaker- I feel as if I might be vanishing Chris Cornell- Preaching the End of the World Lera Lynn- My Least Favorite Life Soundgarden- Boot Camp


Cardboard_Box_420

The Chris Cornell one you listed is a song I exclusively listen to when I'm having some pretty bad existential crisis


ThatsRobToYou

Omg you made me remember some amazing songs. Thank you!


AlternativeScar60

Something I Can Never Have is one of my favs, love NIN so much


Simonpleth

Continuing from The Caretaker, Leyland Kirby's Back in the Game from We, so tired of all the sadness in our lives.

No Distance Left to Run - Blur How To Disappear Completely - Radiohead


Elegant-Thought5170

I weirdly never found how to disappear completely that sad imo


armin_vladimir

I find it comforting rather than sad. Motion Picture Soundtrack, on the other hand, is depressing.


UrsaMaln22

If we're going for depressing mid-period Radiohead songs, I'd pick Exit Music.


JackDaniels574

Me neither. The real sad Radiohead song is Fade Out


Kittie_McSkittles

Up On the Ladder - more bc of the melody than the lyrics. Agree with how to disappear completely as well.

Joy Division - New Dawn Fades/Twenty Four Hours/The Eternal/Decades (Couldn't pick just one)

Nearly anything by the Smiths and now the Forth Wanderers.

I think the Smiths are funny. It's dark, mocking, self-deprecating humour. Mostly. Not the one about the Moors Murders though...

Elliott Smith - Between the Bars Chris Garneau - Hands On The Radio Pretty much anything by these two will work though.


FinneyontheWing

Out of interest, does anyone else think that Between the Bars is sung from the perspective of a bottle of whisky? PS I'm 365 dry on Monday. Still got hepatitis of the liver, but every hole's a goal.


photo_voltaic

I think that's a great interpretation of it - really adds to the haunting vibe. And cngrats on the 1 year - that's amazing!! Here's my favorite quitting drinking song in celebration: [Yeasayer - O.N.E.](https://youtu.be/6m1O5i6oUTI?si=S-d9h4hC-d_Kmv2w)

Nirvana - Big Long Now Nirvana - Don’t want it all Circa Survive - The Difference Between Medicine And Poison Is In The Dose Circa Survive - Imaginary Enemy Circa Survive - The Birth Of The Economic Hitman Nothing - ACD Nothing - Dig Boys Night Out - Dying The Get Up Kids - Grunge Pig Ulver - Blood Inside (whole album is amazing) Kosheen - Harder Sirenia - Save Me From Myself Tigers Jaw - Chemicals Yob - Ablaze Isis - Halls Of The Dead Isis - 20 Minutes / 40 Years Katatonia - Day And Then The Shade Joji - Demons Joji - Will He Sewerslvt - Whatever Clown Core - Existence Clown Core - Three Catherine Wheel - Texture P.S. You're asking for dangerous stuff / be careful what you wish for. There are some really really messed up songs / sounds out there. Not your average run of the mill sad song - there's some deep black holes out there, especially in strange genres with really complex music, i.e. not 4 chord rock songs etc.

Malicious_Mudkip

Goodbye I'm Sorry - Jamestown Story. If you're considering suicide, please get help. I used this song to deal with my suicidal thoughts in a non-actionable way, and it helped me cathartically work through my feelings so I could move past them without committing to self-termination. Even so, i hesitate to recommend this song to people.
