I have to agree with you on these songs. The End is really gloomy but I do like Riders On The Storm even though it's gloomy too.I like Ray Manzarek's piano interlude.I was never a fan of The End.

several songs by the doors were based off Morrison's Drug addiction, and his belief and practice in the occult and taboo so its no wonder the doors music had a depressing sound.

break on through is another song based off of Morrison's belief in the occult, The Alabama Song talks about being addicted to Whiskey

Pretty much any death metal song where they scream instead of sing.

Death metal is awesome.

But often, they DO have to growl in an intelligible way so I can hear about harvesting cadavers from the graveyard and cool stuff like that there.

Not just Cookie Monster vocals.

I always switch off Tainted Love by Soft Cell.

JamesG · 08-29-2013, 06:49 PM

For most disturbing, one I know of is Rammstein's 'Mein Teil' (My Part).

The song is based on the true story of Armin Meiwes, a German man who killed and ate a voluntary victim he met online.

Yeah- I guess I can see that. I actually really like that song, but the lyrics are definitely pretty depressing. Musically, it's a great '80s New Wave song though. (especially when coupled with "Where Did Our Love Go?")

As for disturbing song, I would probably list this one-

"John Wayne Gacy, Jr." by Sufjan Stevens

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otx49Ko3fxw
(By the way, I have no idea about the footage for that video- I don't think it's actual footage of Gacy necessarily.)

(It's about the real life serial killer and yes- his life and evil deeds are quite disturbing. But even more disturbing is the point to the song right at the end- which is disturbing because I know it's so true- a point that is easy to forget when we want to point the finger and vilify others.
"In my best behavior- I'm really just like him. Look beneath the floorboards for the secrets I have hid."
This song brings across so well what The Bible says in Romans 3:23 - All have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. And as Psalms 14:3 and 53:3 tell us- there is no one righteous, no- not one. And as James 2:10 says- once we've broken any one part of the law, we're guilty of breaking all of it.
And all sin is equally bad and equally wrong. And of course, that is the real human condition that we are all born with- the problem of a sin nature that's been bred into our DNA ever since the fall of Adam and Eve.
But praise God- He has sent Jesus to die for all of our sins (past, present and future) and rise again to give us salvation from it- just as Romans 6:23 proclaims- the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

And it's free and available to all who will call upon His name and confess Jesus as Lord, believing that God raised Him from the dead- and we will be saved. (Romans 10:9)

Turn The Page (Metallica and Bob Seger version) is kinda depressing from a Musicians point of view cause it talks about how "being on the road 365 24/7 eventually takes a toll on a Musician's body."

Torgo · 08-30-2013, 09:20 AM

Country Death Song - Violent Femmes (It was inspired by a true story of a man in the 1800's who threw his daughter down a well, then hung himself in the barn.)

Penny Lane · 08-30-2013, 10:38 AM

Those car crash/death/suicide songs from the 50's- 60's.

Last Kiss
Teen Angel
Tell Laura I Love Her
Patches
Moody River
Honey

I like Metallica's version of Turn The Page.

I know! "Deadman's Curve" too!

What was that other song in the 70's about the girl who got pregnant and her dad was going to shoot the boyfriend but she jumped in front of the boyfriend and the bullet hit her instead and the last words of the song are her singing "Daddy, please don't. It wasn't his fault. We're gonna get married....."

What WAS that song! Anyone remember?
