[Music] Most mournful, depressing music of all time (it had to be sometime)
- Thread starter Pevenseagull
- Start date
Unbelievably, not until now.
Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker. Facing up to his own mortality, questions of faith.

David Bowie - Lazarus. Again, facing his own imminent death. Subtle and oblique references to his multiple heart attacks, and a funeral soon to be held. Died 3 days after this was released.

Covered recently, and beautifully for such a dark song, by The Wainwright Sisters a couple of years back. Stunning.

Not necessarily depressing, but I’ve always found this hauntingly beautiful and heartbreaking.

"What happened to the wonderful adventures,
The places I had planned for us to go?
Well, some of them we did but most we didn't,
And why, I just don't know."

It is certainly shit. And if it catch even a snatch of it I feel like topping myself. Or someone else. So, yes, yes, you're right.
Except...I think the thread is about exquisite music that is depressing rather than shite that sends even the most shallow of mortals into rehab.
Back to the early 70s. Even California can create beautiful gloom
