Most tmbg songs

We are the people, Empire of the sun

I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave me
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can't you be believing now

Can you remember and humanize
It was still where we'd energized
Lie in the sand and visualize
Like it's 75 again

Literally all of streetlight manifesto

Maxwell's Silver Hammer isn't depressing, it's just morbid.

a lot of TMG sounds don't really match the music

The Police for fuck sake
Every Breath you take
Roxanne

kind of depressing if you ask me

The Police for fuck sake
Every Breath you take
Roxanne

-walt whitman

youtu.be/IkJGSnRB9RM

Probably outdated now.

i dunno that instrumentation always felt very gloomy to me

here's another bleak jam though
youtu.be/lpMLG7Xc4Rw

There's one song in Paramore's last album, Hard Times, which is upbeat as fuck and really surprised me with it's depressed as shit lyrics. Not the best example but I wanted to point it.

youtube.com/watch?v=yLQ68cKLT04

I survived everything
I have tried everything
Everything
And anything

All the walls begin to dissolve away
Feel your hands begin to shake
And just who you think you used to be
All begins to bend and break

Wave goodbye
Wish me well
I've become something else
Something else
(Just as well, really)

But this thing that lives inside of me
Will surely rise and wake
And his seed that bleeds right through to me
As it comes to grab and take

I am home
I believe
I am home
I am free
I am home
I can see
Always here
Finally....

The song itself isn't necessarily depressing, but the rest of the album is and somehow that adds a layer of pain to this song. Singer shot himself in the heart with a rifle in 2010 in the middle of divorcing his wife of 19 years.

Yeah, I know. It's "not Elliot Smith"
youtu.be/18S8D8kHFlE

this one is "elliot smith".

It's a cheery (and beautiful) melody though

youtube.com/watch?v=REZ1wQqGjEg

Chinese Rock is about crack.

I was about to say the same thing. I'm a big fan of Beer and Everything Sucks, but also 90% of their other songs. Also The Science of Selling Yourself Short by Less Than Jake
