Recommend some....

...super depressing songs about relationships or the lack thereof. I've been listening to a lot of Damien Rice lately and I really like that...of course I'm always listening to the Swans (why this band is not bigger on here I'll never understand, exposure I guess).

Barry Manilow - Mandy

it's a bit out in left field but try just about anything by A Perfect Circle, all their sutff seems to be about some kind of loss.

or madness.

for stars - rain/thunder

anything by ryan adams.

just about anything by joe pernice (the pernice brothers, chappaquiddick skyline, the scud mountain boys...)

i recommend (off the top of my head) OUR TIME HAS PASSED, by the pernice brothers and GRUDGE FUCK by the scud mountain boys.

Hoo boy... gimme a minute...

Weezer- Butterfuly
A Static Lullaby - A Song For a Broken Heart
From Autumn to Ashes - Chloroform Perfume
From Autumn to Ashes - Short Stories with Tragic Endings
Something Corporate - Konstantine
The Postal Service - Nothing Better
Thursday - Dying in New Brunswick

That's a start for sure

Del Shannon - Runaway
Smiths - How Soon Is Now? [T.A.T.U.'s cover makes me cry too]

I'm not sure if these next 2 are depressing, but they make me cry:

U2 - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
Toby Keith - Rock You Baby

i'll add NOTHING IS WRONG by the dB's

and while we're at it... for a more up-tempo and catchy relationship gone wrong song, EVERY WORD MEANS NO by Let's Active.

Wicked Little Town (both versions) from Hedwig and the Angry Inch

The woman I love first stopped speaking to me around the time that song came out. And I still don't know what I did wrong. I can just remember her looking at me unlike the way she used to... and that song... playing on the store stereo system.... God, it hurts so much......


HEY!! LIGHTER NOTE!!! I JUST REALIZED THE SMITHS HAVE GOT.... LIKE 3 DIFFERENT ENTRIES SO FAR!!!! WHOOO!!! SMITHS!!! KINGS OF DEPRESSING MUSIC ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS!!!!


Hey.... waitaminute..... that isn't a lighter note!!!! ARGH! ARGH! Where is my noose???

Erik Sanko - Past Imperfect, Present Tense

these records don't neccesarily address relationships but they are pulling me through a breakup....


low-things we lost in the fire

radar bros-...and the surrounding mountains

cat power-you are free

built to spill-there's nothing wrong with love

nick drake-five leaves left

bright eyes... he's always upset about something

Live - Overcome
Metallica - Unforgiven II

M.O.D.

Ruptured Nuptuals

I bust my balls
I break my back
To come home to a slut
You broke your vows
You dirty bitch
I'll kick you in the cunt

Ruptured Nuptuals

Angel's Son by Sevendust, makes me cry

"Some Things Last a Long Time" by Daniel Johnston

"Maps", the Yeah Yeah Yeah's

"Hurt", NIN allthough Johnny Cash's version makes me feel even shittier than Trent's

"World Leader Pretend" R.E.M.
