Songs for when you feel like crud... (1 Viewer)

[smegthehead]

So then, we all have times when we feel like a semi just backed over us, what songs do you listen to when you're in the pits?

My favourite ones are:

Ben Folds 5 - Evaporated
Beck - The Golden Age
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
R.E.M - Nightswimming

also i have a habit of watching the movie high fidelity when i feel down

 

[virgin^sexy]

the smiths - please please please

the smiths - please please please

just any songs you tend towards when you don't feel so good, whether they make you feel better or worse. i know that i tend to go towards the songs that make me feel worse, probably because i dont know any better

i listen to heaps of songs, some are my brothers that we listen to when we go driving and i have no idea what they are called but some of my faves are:
placebo - sleeping with ghosts
3 doors down - here without you
maroon 5 - she will be loved
elvis - in the ghetto

usually any depressing songs about death or break ups. when i get depressed i usually want to stay there for a while, u know?

Interesting thread
Sort of depends on the reason why I'm feeling down, but there are a few albums I usually fall back on so I'll list those

If it's just straight up feeling like crap, maybe:
Joy Division - Substance
Depeche Mode - Ultra
or maybe Cranberries - Wake Up & Smell the Coffee
(either that or Everybody Else Is Doing It...)

On the other hand if I'm feeling dark about something in particular, pretty much anything will do as long as it's loud.

Guess it just depends...

Kelly Clarkson's new one, Breakaway

REM-Everybody hurts. Might be a little cliched, but some of the lines are really moving e.g"Dont throw your hand"

Actually, that's a really good choice.
