hi guys. I'm a teenager and last week I watched my mom die suddenly on the floor in front of me.
Basically, I fucking hate life and can't do anything without breaking down crying. I want some music that will soothe my mind when it takes me bad places.
I already have all of John Frusciante's music in a sad playlist, so don't suggest him. Also, no emo shit. I'm normal.
Preferably stuff with guitars, I like sad guitar a lot.
It's ironic that this is a song about Eddie's mother dying and I learned how to play this just before she passed.
Fuck.
The Pearl Jam version is pretty neat.

Building Nothing Out of something by modest mouse. Many a cries were had. And moon and Antarctica. Most of the songs are about pretty dark parts of issacs life. 3rd planet is about a miscarriage. Let the tears flow user.
I'm with you, it's a singular achievement, particularly so early in their career. I hope I get to hear it in July when I see them with brand new. Not banking on it though. I'll be happy with broke, haven't heard them play that yet.

Saw them at a festival last summer, they played dramamine with life like Weeds tacked onto the end, that was about the saddest they got. Great show though, I feel like their more intimate performances (non-festival shows) are probably a lot better. I've heard that they've been playing broke recently.

Don't get depressed when you're upset.
I mean, it's good and healthy to wallow in your sadness every now and again to let the feelings out, but doing it constantly is gonna get you nowhere.
what you gotta do, is get angry, and turn that anger into energy, then turn that energy into creative energy.
do you play guitar? get on that thing and play some shit. it could be random powerchords and tremolo picking, it could be random pentatonic improv, fuck, it could be harsh noise for all I care. all that matters it that you're doing something with that energy. even if it's utter shit, somebody's bound to like it. and that's what matters.
I wish you luck, and godspeed user

Ooo you're getting me pumped user. I'm gonna cry if they play broke. I saw them at a fairly intimate show in Orlando for their new album and they played a common set without any big shockers. Wouldn't mind hearing life like weeds again though, and spitting venom. The latter was skin crawling.
Samuel Hernandez
They played Grey Ice Water a few months ago and that was pretty unexpected
Aaron Jackson
Hooooly fuck, building is my favorite album. Thatd be great.

>I'm a teenager and last week I watched my mom die suddenly on the floor in front of me. What happened?
we're not sure yet, all we know is that she died of cardiac arrest almost immediately. I don't want my dad to know because he'd never live it down because he'd regret not saving her and I don't want to let my brother know because he's hooked on oxycodone too, but I think her use of oxycodone in combination with other serotonin boosting medicines that I know she was on sent her to serotonin syndrome, where she died.
The really depressing thing is that I told her this was going to happen. I tried so hard for what felt like forever to get her off oxycodone and I even told her specifically that she could go into serotonin syndrome and die. She never listened.
Life is a wild clusterfuck of mishaps. It sucks dude.
I tried really hard, I also let her know about rehab programs and showed her tapering methods and even went as far as contacting social services. She just didn't have the drive, I guess.
That's terrible man. I can't imagine what that must be like. youtube.com/watch?v=h6FIjp8nJV4 This is one of my favorites when I'm down
Cameron Fisher
Jesus, user. I'm so sorry. I lost my mom last year and was with her when she passed. I'll never get over not being there when she needed me so many times. I feel for you. I wish I could say it gets better, so far it hasn't for me. Hang in there. That's all we can do.

Electric Tears by Buckethead (the whole album)

I've only listened to this all the way through, once. I cried many times watching it, then uncontrollably during the final third. It breaks my heart. I'll always miss my Mama.
Be strong, user. Devin Townsend - Funeral/Bastard/The Death of Music
Man, I feel you bud. It's one of the most soul crushing things I can think of.
Hang in there man, you tried, you did all you could. Life is rough sometimes and no matter how much you work on changing someone, even for their own sake, the only one you can change is yourself.
Best of wishes user, it's a lot of pain now, it will be a lot of pain but we gotta keep going. You got us.
Don't feel bad about your sadness, embrace it, live through it and one day hopefully there will be something that makes you happy. You have a lot of life left, live it good and to the fullest.
Heres some sad songs OP they're all future islands but hey man they'll do you good promise. Sorry for what happened and just know all things must pass and you can get through this.
