Music to Cry to..

[TragicPixie]

Soo... what are your favourite songs for crying or crushing, mind-numbing depression or the like...

If you don't cry to music, then well, consider yourself lucky you aren't as pathetic as me and living with your parents and so you have to so they don't heard whatever noise you may be making.

Personally, I prefer Radiohead... something like The Bends (album and song) or "True Love Waits" and the Cure.
Occassionally Portishead or Bush (usually "Glycerine") as well.

this is old, but for me, nothing works like dustry springfield

Bush makes me cry too. Oh you mean the band.

MOJO just did a thing on the 100 most miserable songs.

Well i don't cry...ever, well not since I was ten but I do get awfully melancholy. Tom Waits "Who Are You." The entire second disc of Ben Harper's "Live From Mars." Joni Michell "A Case of You." Jeff Buckley...that vain.

glycerine is a fucking awesome song...i never get sick of it...i could maybe cry to that, or have sex to it...i'm not sure which...i think the only song i've cried to was the live version of pennyroyal tea by nirvana b/c i was very depressed over a boyfriend

Interesting you should bring this up right now. I just pulled out an album by The Church from like '96 last night ("Magician Among The Spirits") that I associate with being so down in the dumps you can't see right from left, up or down. I'm not sure about the crying part, I don't cry very often. Anyway, one of the reasons why I find it difficult to listen to the NEW Church album is because two times in the past they released new albums immediately after something really awful happened to me, so I've come to associate them with that kind of depressive state.

[TragicPixie]

heh ... I suppose I'm the only one who cries a lot then. Ah well.

The Church is a great sad band. Not enough to make me cry. I don't have that much emotion. Those somber voices and beatnik beards and tinkling guitars. What happened to these Aussies? Did someone steal their oil cans and their barbie?

Of Skins and Heart is a good album though. I remember that one quite well.

[Sloth]

When I down I listen to the same song over and over again on repeat for days.

An example would be Bob Marley's song "Time will tell".

I used to live in St. Louis 6 years ago for 2 years. (in the West End on Kingshighway...some hi-rise tower whose name I am blanking on...)

Where do you live??

[TragicPixie]

At the moment, I live in my parents' place in north county house sitting. (They've just moved and there's a pool here; don't want the neighbourhood kiddies to fall in and whatnot.)

From August 'til they make me leave in May though I live at Saint Louis Uni. in the dorms over by the Fox (off Grand and Lindell).

REM's Everybody Hurts music video.

wow...I used to know someone who lived on the top floor of the apartment building next to the fox (same side of the street). It used to be a ballroom-and was a 6 story high 2 bedroom apartment-the main room was like the size of 20 apartments with a ceiling you could barely see....all hardwood floors with 12 balconies......

it was only 1000.00/month....

Damm my journals were FULL then...

Glycerin was made excellent when Gav played it solo in pouring rain without care of electricution. I'm pretty sure anyone who owns a single bush track has heard that.

Bjork makes some depressing rifts- As does Beck.. lately anyway. Sunday Gloomy Sunday was pulled off radio due to related suicides i heard.

Pool Shark (sublime) can be sad, is kinda sad. As was You Know You're Right.. that sound both rocks and gives me an eerie tinge.

*attentione* Don't listen to mozart while depressed.

Wyclef Jean acoustic anything can warp your head.

LASTLY- Don't Smoke in Bed by... well if you dunno, you don't deserve to live.
