And don't forget that horrific version of Candle in the Wind that Elton John rewrote about St. Princess Diana. That song's very existence depressed me.
Here's a pic of Prince Harry:
Here's a pic of the guy that Diana was seeing before Prince Harry was born :

Hmmm. That guy has a very unusual shaped nose. Prince Harry has the exact same unusual shaped nose.
What are you trying to say Thor?

Just reminding everyone what a loving woman that Diana was.
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to... I guess she found at least one person to "cling to".

What a nice cover!!
Here's the front and back covers of an album by Big Black (the album was called Headache) from the mid-1980's. It's described as a "head bifurcated by shotgun blast":

The most depressing tune that deserves a mention all to its own--
DUST IN THE WIND by Kansas.
I listened to this tune on cloudy, rainy Saturday afternoons--right after the cultural programming on CBS-TV (i.e. CBS Film Festival) went off. Probably appropriate, since at the time, CBS owned Columbia Records, which released most of Kansas' classic rock catalogue.

Bon Voyage by Sparks, circa 1974. Noah's Ark from the standpoint of the animals that couldn't get on. Excerpt:
Tears falling on the sloping sand, they're about to leave and we will stay
All governed by the rules of chance, they're about to leave and we will stay Goodbye to my lucky friends and foes, glad that we could know you Everyone sends their last hello, I wish that we could join you Two of you Two of them Two of those Two of them Safety for the few Two of you Two of them Two of those Two of them They will start anew Bon voyage, bon voyage, bon voyage Peace be with all of you
I wish that I, I wish that I, I wish that I Were one of you

On a related note, the band Spinal Tap once said the most depressing chord is D Minor. I beg to differ. G Major is a close second, if not first.

Mooch, Send in the Clowns was what circuses used to do following a circus accident. They'd send in the clowns to distract people from what had just happened.
I really liked Jim Carroll's People Who Died. It has this real upbeat rock and roll thing going as Carroll goes through the list of people he knew who had died, and what they died of. All the names/stories are supposedly true. "Teddy" (below) was someone named Teddy Rayhill.
(excerpt)
teddy sniffing glue he was 12 years old
fell from the roof on east two-nine cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug on 26 reds and a bottle of wine bobby got leukemia, 14 years old he looked like 65 when he died he was a friend of mine |
