It's not depressing by any means, but I find it to be very good for when you're feeling low. Once, quite a while ago, I was in one of the worst depressions I've been in. I came on IRC to occupy myself, and chalupamonk (yay for chal) gave it to me. I was smiling by the time the song was over.
Marilyn Manson, the whole "Mechanical Animals" album, especially: "Great Big White World" "Mechanical Animals" "Disassociative" "The Speed Of Pain" <-- ultimate sad song for me, most people liked this when i recommended it "Fundamentally Loathsome" "The Last Day On Earth" "Coma White"
They are the saddest songs i know (along with some of Nirvana's and Rammstein's) and they are all part of 1 album.
Or check out this <a href='http://www.wanderlist.com/SaddestSongsEver' target='_blank'>vote list</a> of the saddest songs ever.
Anathema, Katatonia, Dirty Three, Trembling Blue Stars, Field Mice, Spiritualized, Sigur Ros, Black Tape For A Blue Girl, Lycia, My Dying Bride, Mark Lanegan, Joy Division, Hood.
It's been said that the most depressing song ever is Gloomy Sunday. Do a Google search on those two words and read up a bit about it. I havn't heard it myself but I'd like to, just to see what all the fuss is about...
Anyway, depressing songs... <b>Counting Crows - Colour Blind</b> <b>Three Doors Down - Here Without You</b> (Has special meaning for me) <b>Deftones - Minerva</b> (Don't know why I find this depressing, but I do) <b>Powderfinger - These Days</b> <b>Oasis - Wonderwall</b> (Always gets me) <b>Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Under The Bridge</b> <b>Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Scar Tissue</b> <b>Something For Kate - Monsters</b> <b>The Whitlams - No Aphrodisiac</b> <b>The Whitlams - Blow Up The Pokies</b>

Gloomy Sunday - the notorious 'Hungarian Suicide Song' - was written in 1933. Its melody and original lyrics were the creation of Rezsô Seress, a self-taught pianist and composer born in Hungary in 1899.
The crushing hopelessness and bitter despair which characterised the two stanza penned by Seress were superseded by the more mournful, melancholic verses of Hungarian poet László Jávor.
When the song came to public attention it quickly earned its reputation as a 'suicide song'. Reports from Hungary alleged individuals had taken their lives after listening to the haunting melody, or that the lyrics had been left with their last letters.
The lyricists Sam M. Lewis and Desmond Carter each penned an English translatation of the song. It was Lewis's version, first recorded by Hal Kemp and his Orchestra, with Bob Allen on vocals (1936), that was to become the most widely covered.
The popularity of Gloomy Sunday increased greatly through its interpretation by Billie Holiday (1941). In an attempt to alleviate the pessemistic tone a third stanza was added to this version, giving the song a dreamy twist, yet still the suicide reputation remained. Gloomy Sunday was banned from the playlists of major radio broadcasters around the world. The B.B.C. deemed it too depressing for the airwaves.
Despite all such bans, Gloomy Sunday continued to be recorded and sold.
People continued to buy the recordings; some committed suicide.
Rezsô Seress jumped to his death from his flat in 1968. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Was thinking that too.
These are long and somewhat depressive, depends on what mood you're in, heh...
Maybe it's for a movie..?

Gary Jules - Mad World
Jenny was a friend of mine - Killers
That final one isn't really depressing until you actually listen to the lyrics.
My vote - "And All That Could Have Been" by Nine Inch Nails (the song, not the album) or "Something I Can Never Have" by Nine Inch Nails also.
Anyway, depressing songs...
<b>Counting Crows - Colour Blind</b>
<b>Three Doors Down - Here Without You</b> (Has special meaning for me)
<b>Deftones - Minerva</b> (Don't know why I find this depressing, but I do)
<b>Powderfinger - These Days</b>
<b>Oasis - Wonderwall</b> (Always gets me)
<b>Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Under The Bridge</b>
<b>Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Scar Tissue</b>
<b>Something For Kate - Monsters</b>
<b>The Whitlams - No Aphrodisiac</b>
