Song and Albums to play when you're depressed

Righteous Brothers work, esp. "You'veLost that Lovin' Feelin'

Brooks Benton's Rainy Night in Georgia

Credence Clearwater's Revival

I don't know. Different things work with different moods.

Ever hear Clannad's "Against the Wind"? It's Celtic, of which I don't understand a word, but check it out if you can. It sounds very violent, whatever it is, but sometimes it's what I want.

jayhawks - rainy day music
the good life
black heart procession
morphine
Lil' Jon to get adrenalin out of the system. or into it.

list changes every week or so

coldplay ~ trouble

david gray ~ this years love

the sundays ~ wild horses

filter ~ god damn me

moby ~ porcelain

i actually deleted some of these from a playlist of mine because they were being played too much hahahaha, it's true

most anything by morrissey or the smiths will do

See "contemplative thread"

Iris - Goo goo dolls
Innocent - Our Lady Peace
Pictures he drew or Last Call Casualty or a million other songs by Bowling for Soup
Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright (not the original version)
I'd do anything - Simple Plan
Only one, rough draft or firewater by Yellowcard
Two beds and a coffee machine by Savage Garden
Borderline by Chris de Burgh
Anything by Celine Dione!!
Here without you by 3 doors down (mine and my ex's song)
Tourniquet or My Immortal by Evanescence
Hold on by Good Charlotte
Broken by Seether ft amy lee (the lead singer of Evanescence)

You can't always get what you want - Rolling Stones.

jack johnson
the beatles
the wilburys
there are a bunch...

'Raining in Baltimore' - Counting Crows
'A Boy's Best Friend' - the White Stripes
'Elizabeth on the Bathroom Floor' - the Eels
'Hurt' - Nine Inch Nails (the Johnny Cash cover is also nice and deeply depressed)

And anything by Joy Division as well.

good list

almost anything off the eels albums electro shock blues or daisies of the galaxy would work

and how could i forget joy division

yep

"Closer" Joy Division

or

"Pornography" The Cure

anything at all by radiohead, when you feel miserable and u dont wanna be cheered up but would rather dwell in a cesspool of contemplative misery, then its time to put the radiohead on.

I disagree pretty strongly. In my opinion, Radiohead's most depressive album was The Bends, but only about half the songs I'd classify as such. Hmm, on Kid A the only depressing song I remember is "How To Dissappear Completely".

I think OK Computer as a whole is entirely uplifting and very positive, which is why it's my favorite. I listen to it when I'm running.

Anyway, most people will agree that on top of the band's most depressing material is "Street Spirit", the final track of The Bends... Ho-lee ****.

Hurt-Nine Inch Nails
The Shepherd-Duke Ellington

"Accross the Universe" (Fiona Apple version especially)
"Not an Addict" - K's choice
"She's leaving home" - The Beatles
"Sempre Sempre" -Hélène Segara (hem... )
"Partir seule" -Dolly
"With or Without you" -U2

I had never heard anything by the smiths before....but 'Asleep' seemed to be the perfect song.....thank you so much..................................

cool

re the old post -
I have some celtic cds, not sure if I have that one.
If Creedance can't get me out of a funk, I'm in trouble. I don't want to hear it too often though, as I can get sick of music I've heard hundreds of times.

If I'm in a seriously horrendoma mood, some opera arias can lift me past myself, oh, the drama queen, music to connect to. The odd symphony, especially if I'm hearing it while driving through forest - which by itself can improve my humor - can be memorable for me in a bad time. Off hand, re forest driving, Mendelssohn's Italian, considered a "war horse". I also like to hear the cello going through the forest... and sometimes while being blue at home.

Cds:
Counting Crows- August and Everything After
Smashing Pumpkins- Adore

Songs:
Berlin- Take My Breathe Away
The Pretenders- I'll Stand By You
Sinead O'Conner- Nothing Compares To You
The Tony Rich Project- Nobody knows
Santo and Johnny- Sleepwalk
Mariah Carey/Boyz 2 Men- One Sweet Day

I know there is more but that's all I could think of right now.

nick Drake-song- "river man"
leonard cohen-song-"the stranger"
portishead-song-"the rip"

these will console your aching soul.
