Depressing Songs

Tommy B · 7 May 2006 at 19:04

Do any of you know any random bands that do experimental new-age stuff. Imagine a film about a man who awakens in a forest, later to find out that he was murdered there and he's a roaming ghost. If you can get that picture in your head, are there any bands or songs that spring to mind? Depressing/nervy/scary songs?

Cheers

Sigur Ros - Avalon.
A Perfect Circle - Magdalena.

Hurt - Nine Inch Nails, or Johnny Cash

This is so for a media studies project!

I'd plump with Radiohead - Exit Music (For a film)

Nice bit of Godspeed You! Black Emperor should do the trick.

TEARS FOR FEARS
"Mad World"

that's actually written to look forward in life and not to contemplate suicide, it is actually a positive song in a negative kinda way.

How have you worked that out? Their music is emotive, but hardly depressive. a lot of their songs build up slowly to a nice atmospheric climax.

massive attack - teardrop?

i think it would work perfectly for a film

Tommy B · 8 May 2006 at 18:43

Some great suggestions.

Is there anyway I can buy Godspeed You! Black Emperor without paying £15 for 3 tracks?

OK as some of you guessed, I have made a film. After watching Keane's new music vid - Atlantic - I was inspired to do something similar. I think it's one of the best music videos I've seen in about 5 years in terms of origionality.

That always makes me happy!

Nick Cave is pretty good for dark brooding songs.

The flip side of Kate Bush's Hounds Of Love is about a woman who dies and becomes a spirit. In Waking The Witch she's on trial and Watching You Without Me she's following her lover trying to get him to see her. It turns out to be all a dream in the end though. Phew, eh?

Opeth - The night and the silent water.
