Well this list was basically because I was talking to Luanne about depressing music. She reckons she’s into the downbeat tracks and I dared to challenge her that I had the most grief-stricken, cynical and self-loathing music collection in our group. So I decided to find the most depressing music I had handy and put it up for your “enjoyment”. Now this list isn’t definitive by any imagination as my access to music is limited in China and I’m missing the bulk of my collection. I also don’t want to make it sound like this is an lethargic exercise in coming up with songs that make me feel like shit. Far from it! I love every song on this list. They’re all beautiful and touching to me. A lot of the songs represent a period in my life when I found comfort in these downbeat tracks and actually most of them make me happy. But be warned. If you’re not into that sort of thing you may simply find the songs depressing.
