I don't know about most depressing of all time, but if it's a cry you want, Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day or all of Carrie & Lowell (particularly Fourth of July)

I don't think there is a most depressing song of all time. Like the song that always makes me cry wouldn't probably make you cry.

" 'I could stay here, become someone different.
I could stay here, become someone better.'

If this moment in "Colors and the Kids" doesn't move something within you, you're a cold shadow where a human should be. Or you don't like this type of music. Or you don't like Cat Power. But still."
^^my all time favorite rym review^^

But yeah I remember I went through a whole month were I just listened to this song like every day again and again each time getting more depressed. I moved to a new school last year and I basically have no friends here so at lunch I used to just sit and lock myself in the bathrooms so no one would see how sad I was. I would listen to this song every day sitting their in the bathrooms, I cried to that line so many times

>>64285075
>Anyone have songs about love and heartbreak?

Unfortunately that's just not a common lyrical theme in music but maybe someone here with a deeper knowledge of music can provide you with an example
>>
nearly anything sung by Billie Holliday. half the songs back then were about heartache. if they were fast songs, they were fun and funny but if they were slow... damn.

https://youtu.be/-3jO-3BoGzM

"Strange Fruit" is about her seeing a man lynched.

Miss Otis Regrets - a song maybe known better done by Ella Fitzgerald (who's the best singer in the history of all singers, imho) - is about how she won't be able to come to lunch with her friend because she had to kill her husband.

p.s. any Opera fans? I'm not going to waste my time posting stuff no one likes, but talk about DEPRESSING. I mean, forget about it. Nothing else comes close to legendary tragedies + genius composers we'll never know the likes of which again in this world.
