Leonard Cohen

I thought you were the crown prince
of all the wheels in Ivory Town.
Just take a look at your body now,
there's nothing much to save
and a bitter voice in the mirror cries,
"Hey, Prince, you need a shave."
Now if you can manage to get
your trembling fingers to behave,
why don't you try unwrapping
a stainless steel razor blade?
That's right, it's come to this,
yes it's come to this....


....You can still find a job,
go out and talk to a friend.
On the back of every magazine
there are those coupons you can send.
Why don't you join the Rosicrucians,
they can give you back your hope,
you can find your love with diagrams
on a plain brown envelope.
But you've used up all your coupons
except the one that seems
to be written on your wrist
along with several thousand dreams.
Now Santa Claus comes forward,
that's a razor in his mit;
and he puts on his dark glasses
and he shows you where to hit....

I find Staind and Alice in Chains depressing. I like both bands, but avoid them unless I am already feeling down, because they tend to remind me of my problems and make me sad when I wasn't already lol.

 

[Oscillate_Wildly]

The Smiths aren't really that depressing, Marr's music with the exception of a few tracks counter acts Morrissey's lyrics. Also there's that much tongue in cheek, witty lyrics and humour in Morrissey's words that it's hard to find a lot of genuinely depressing Smiths songs.

 

[ComfortZone]

Hank Williams Sr., Billie Holiday & some George Jones' stuff.

 

[Antigod]

Nine Inch Nails.
Trent Reznor is a god. That band has helped me through so much.
It feels like Trent is the only one in this twisted world who completely understands how i feel. With other bands i think "Hm, this song describes how i am feeling." With NIN it's "This song IS me."
Here's a little taste:

Even if this one isn't really your thing you should try listening to some of their other works. It's all industrial but it's such a wide spectrum.

First post by the way so... hi all.
