It seems every day someone is finding my blog searching for depressing songs, because I mentioned a few one day in a posting. I have taken my playlist, titled, “in a mood” and listed it below for those of you looking for some depressing songs, as I always do.
Some of them I removed from the list below because they’re probably only depressing to me because they bring back certain memories. There may still be some that you don’t find depressing. Anyway, here they are.

Hi, good list!
The songs by Sarah Mclachlan are not so depressing… Adia and Fallen are (I prefer them).
Depressing songs? I konw Innocence by Avril Lavigne, album The Best Damn Thing; Run For A Fall by Epica, album The Phantom Agony (or Run For A Fall acoustic version in the We Will Take You With Us live album).
My Immortal and Hello by Evanescence, Fallen album; Frozen and Forgiven by Within Temptation, The Heart Of Everything album; Somewhere by Within Temptation, The Silent Force Album; Just Think Again by PAIN, Psalm Of Extinction album; Angels Fall First and This Moment Is Eternity by Nigthwish in Angels Fall First album; Swanheart still by Nightwish in Oceanborn album; Forever Yours by Nightwish in Century Child album; Eva and Meadows Of Heaven by Nightwish again xD In the album Dark Passion Play. While Your Lips Are Still Red by Nightwish in the CD single Amaranth (non-album track)
Spring Nicht by Tokio Hotel in Zimmer 483 album.
I hope I could help you to add new songs in your depressing songs list
Bye ^^
