I know i'm going bald Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 One of my favourites bands is The Decemberists but they don't half excel in doing some very depressing songs like The Hazards of Love and Eli the barrow boy. Possibly one of the most saddest is off their very first album. Song is called "Leslie Anne Levine" My name is Leslie Anne Levine My mother birthed me down a dry ravine My mother birthed me far too soon Born at nine and dead at noon Fifteen years gone now I still wander this parapet And shake my rattle bone Fifteen years gone now I still cling to the petticoats Of the girl who died with me On the roofs above the streets The only love I've known's a chimney sweep Lost and lodged inside a flue Back in 1842 Fifteen years gone now I still wail from these catacombs And curse my mother's name Fifteen years gone now Still a wastrel mesallied Has brought this fate on me My name is Leslie Anne Levine I've got no one left to mourn for me My body lies inside its grave In a ditch not far away Fifteen years gone now I still wander this parapet And shake my rattle bone Fifteen years gone now I still cling to the petticoats Of the girl who died with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show Don't Tell Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 QUOTE (circumstantial tree @ Jan 22 2011, 11:41 PM)I love Slowdive. One of their more depressing songs is "Erik's Song" from their "Just for a Day" CD. I bought that album back in 2003 just before the tragic fire at the Station Nightclub fire in Warwick, Rhode Island. Every time I hear that particular song, I think of that tragedy. Erik's Song Yeah I love "Erik's Song" as well. For me, it really depends on the mood I am in! I mean one day it may make me feel sad, the next, it may make me very happy. Overall, it's one of those bittersweet songs for me. Great atmospheres. QUOTE (circumstantial tree @ Jan 25 2011, 03:35 PM)Slowdive - "Morningrise" I have been listening to this one a lot recently. Talk about a wall of sound! It's an awesome experience listening to it on a good pair of headphones cranked (to a safe volume ). But yes, musically and lyrically depressing, this one is. QUOTE (GrandDesigner @ Jan 24 2011, 06:03 PM)Awesome! I'm d/ling now. I've been listening to Just For A Day for a week or so now and have been letting it sink in slowly. Such dreary, emotional music. I prefer stuff like this to upbeat music anyday No problem, dude! Just For A Day will always be my favourite Slowdive album for personal / experiential reasons. It makes me feel like none other. In fact, it was the first album to really induce strong emotion in me through music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu93 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Oh, that post about The Decemberists reminded me of the closer from The Hazards of Love, "The Hazards of Love 4 (The Drowned)". Depending on my mood, I'll shed a few tears, especially when the music stops and the slide guitar comes in. It's a beautiful kind of sad, though.
