Every song off of Scarsick by Pain of Salvation
Seriously, "To be Over" by Yes and "House of Cards" by Radiohead come to mind I'm sure there are a lot of others but these were the first two that came to mind. They both put me into a funky mood- (good songs though, don't get me wrong) |

Don't know how I could forget Echolyn's "Arc of Descent."
Or most of The End is Beautiful for that matter. Edited by Epignosis - January 04 2010 at 13:17 |

I was listening to Marillion's "This Strange Engine" album yesterday since I rarely spin that album, but now I know why. I get too depressed listening to it.

Great question.
I'd say just about everything from In the Court of the Crimson King, especially "Epitaph".

Hi,
I think that KC's Epitath is really good ... but above all, it is sung poetically and with an edge that is very specific to Greg Lake ... and I'm not sure that anyone else could inspire the strength that it did. It's more than just a song ...
As I said above, Sandy Denny's last song "One More Chance" - specially the piano version on the remaster, is down right spooky and scary, when considering that she died 2 weeks later ... it's almost like she knew.
Amon Duul 2's You Are Not Alone fro mthe Hijack album is also a sad song ... trying to pick you up ... it's so unlike pop music and lethargic as well ...

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I find In Rainbows by Radiohead to be a completely depressing album in itself, especially the tracks "All I Need" and "Videotape". I have refrained from listening to the album because of that, especially late at night when there are fewer people around.

"Nothing at all" Gentle Giant
She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss
Ah this - little girl who had everything, finds she's nothing at all
"Still you turn me on." ELP
You see it really doesn't matter,
when you're buried in disguise. By the dark glass on your eyes. Though your flesh has crystallised. Still...you turn me on "Ghosts" Japan
Just when I think I'm winning, when I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life, blow wilder than before.. "Through the looking glass" Peter Hammill.
The stars in their constellations,
each one just sadly flickers and falls... without you, they mean nothing. Nothing at all. "Another day" Roy Harper.
And at the door she can't say more, than just "another day".
and without a sound, I turn around, and I walk away. "Inside loking out" Mark Hollis
Turn my seasons turn
Lived in much younger times Left no life no more For me to shine "We used to Know" Jethro Tull
Nights of winter turn me cold -- fears of dying, getting old.
We ran the race and the race was won, by running slowly. "Severance" Dead Can Dance
When autumn leaves have fallen, and turned to dust.
Will we reamin entrenched within our ways?
"Rain" Ken Hensley (Heep)
Rain, rain, rain, in my tears
Measuring carefully my years Shame, shame, shame, in my mind See what you've done, to my life.
"In a lonely place" Joy Division/New Order
Caressing the marble and stone.
Love that was special for one. The waste and the fever and hate. How I wish you were here with me now. I'm sure I'll come up with more, I'm a miserable git.

How could I forget?
"The demented Man (King) " Hawkwind.
You're caught in a web of emptiness
The tales told the path you tread Does it lead into your head? Or back to a world of emptiness?
"Bridge of sighs" Robin Trower Cold wind blows
And Gods look down in anger, On this poor child Why so unforgiving and why so cold Been a long time crossing Bridge of Sighs "Illusions" Lone star
The sea is green with envy, the sky is blue like your eyes. |

So here's the second part of the Sad Prog. Rock Songs thread!
What are the saddest/most depressive progressive rock songs you know? In my opinion, it's definitely Epitaph by King Crimson! (note: posts moved from new topic to older topic - L) Edited by Logan - January 26 2010 at 14:39 |

You know that you can revive the thread if you want, it's not locked. It'd be better to just post in that thread if you want rather than creating a whole new thread that's the exact same.
Besides, there wasn't much going on in the discussion anyways. If there's no discussion happening why bump the thread in the first place?

So many of my choices listed already...
But I think no one mentioned "Eternally, Part 2" by Karmakanic. |
