I was just thinking of Brick. That song is so sad especially if it hits home... it doesn't... nevermind too hard to explain.
I find a lot of Nirvana's songs depressing. Maybe it's just knowing that the fame we fans gave Kurt, made him hit the edge.
Landslide by I forgot her name! But definately not Chicks on Dix. They ruined that song for me. If you don't find that song depressing, watch Jack Frost.

Hand Me Down (by matchbox twenty) and Here Without You (by 3 Doors Down) both tend to really depress me, even though they are two of my favorite songs.

"Holding Back the Years" by Simply Red. It's a beautiful song, but damn is it sad.

"Fire and Rain" by James Taylor
"Hey There, Lonely Girl" (I forget the artist, I literally CANNOT listen to that song!)
"White Christmas" by Bing Cosby
"Sad Eyes" (I forget this artist, too, same reason)
A whole lot more that I can't remember right now.
"Leaving on a Jet Plane" is one of my best karaoke songs! My fiance & I live in different cities, and when we're at karaoke, all of our friends find it so touching when I sing it!

"How Soon Is Now" by The Smiths is definitely depressing.

About 90% of Phil Collins' songs could be subtitled, "Songs as you take to the bridge"!
I'm really, really bad at naming songs, or I'd list a few.

This song by roberta Flack will put me in a gloriously melancholy mood . . .Just read the words . . Someone did a remake not too long ago but her version was more poignant.
Killing Me Softly
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasnt there
But he was there this stranger
Singing clear and strong
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

Only when sung by Roberta Flack. Further proof how the music industry has been in the crapper for many, many years.
ETA I mean that Roberta Flack got it right, and The Fugees fcuked it up by completely failing to credibly interpret the lyrics.

Sad Eyes is by a British singer named Leo Sayer
Other depressing songs
"Look Away" by Chicago (it was popular around the time my first love dumped me after almost 3 years)
"where do broken hearts go" by Whitney Houston (ditto about the first love)
"The Living Years" by Mike and the Mechanics (it is about the estrangement between a father and son...and BOY I can relate to that one)
"One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey and "A Change Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke (reminds me of my Uncle Clarence's funeral)

Depeche Mode songs are depressing. I think that they perfected music to slit your wrists to. I remember when I was in college someone had been dumped and decided to play "Somebody" so loudly that everyone in that section of the campus could hear it all day long. It was very depressing. "Blasphemous Rumours" is one of their most depressing songs.
Blasphemous Rumours
Girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists, bored with life
Didn’t succeed, thank the lord
For small mercies
Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame, it’s always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays
I don’t want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that god’s got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find him laughing
Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything
Found new life in jesus christ
Hit by a car, ended up
On a life support machine
Summer’s day, as she passed away
Birds were singing in the summer sky
Then came the rain, and once again
A tear fell from her mother’s eye
I don’t want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that god’s got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find him laughing
