The most depressing music in the world...

Since this is a spammy forum, I can sort of justify imposing myself in this self-indulgent way. ;D


1.Starless, by King Crimson


A sample can be found here:

Sundown dazzling day
Gold through my eyes
But my eyes turned within
Only see
Starless and Bible Black.

Ice blue silver sky
Fades into grey
To a grey hope that yearns to be
Starless and Bible Black.

Old friend charity
Cruel twisted smile
And the smile signals emptiness
For me
Starless and Bible Black.


Kurt Cobain was reportedly listening to 'Red' a lot shortly before his death.

2. In Held Twas In I, by Procol Harum

There's rather a lot, so instead I'll provide links to the relevent sections in www.procolharum.com (an excellent site, imo!)

One last thing, this song isn't nearly as depressing, but here's a link anyway, because the lyric never fails to make me chuckle:
