What is the most depressing song ever?

I like tragic classical music, but don't know much except for this. Its not depressing as such, but its a sad theme and I m more of a bubbly character than gloomy. I tend to find contemporary pop music depressing, because its so dire its dissapointingly bad.

This is the saddest song I've ever heard:

I like it though.

Okay, it doesn't have to be depressing, but can you think of a song that makes you really sad.

"Imagine" by Saint John Lennon makes me really sad. I think it's because Saint John Lennon was murdered and He's probably rolling around in His grave to see that the world turned out the complete opposite of his song

Most depressing song ever? Easy. Hurt by Johnny Cash.

 

[Mister Silver]

Most anything by Patsy Cline is pretty depressing.

 

[SalixIncendium]

Tomaso Albinoni - Adagio in G Minor

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

Don't Fear the Reaper always struck me as depressing, as well. Not a good song if you're suicidal.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

Most depressing song ever? Easy. Hurt by Johnny Cash.

You know that was originally a Nine Inch Nails song, right?

 

[BSM1]

DOA by Bloodrock

No, I actually didn't, but I don't particularly like Nine Inch Nails either.

Incredible.

edit: But she didn't write it. So not.....not agreed.

 

[Mister Silver]

I cannot believe I forgot about this song.

This one makes me cry every time I listen to it.

 

[gnomon]

Seriously this is the most depressing song I ever heard....

One of the best singers and performers who brought forth personal experiences into their performance. Then we saw it in Tool and other great performances who brought forth personal experiences upon us all.

I apologize. It's a hard subject.

 

[gnomon]

We have to deflate......is that a word.....I don't care.

 

[Altfish]

I think the Johnny Cash version is made more poignant because his wife had just died and he was in his final days.

 

[Jesster]

This one always gets me.

 

[Jean Valjean]

 

[YmirGF]

I cried the first time I was this years ago...

Authoritarianism and war make me depressed.

This one is just sick. Extreme acts of evil make me depressed:

Someone mentioned the Johnny Cash song "Hurt" which kills me. This one is really good too:
