[QUOTE=bdreason]Thursday - Full Collapse - Understanding in a Car Crash
The band wrote the song about a friend they lose in a car crash. I saw them perform it live back in 2005 (I think) and it was amazing. You can feel the emotion in the song and how much it means to them.

Full Collapse is still one of my fav albums.[/QUOTE]
That's rough. The band I started off with, Woods of Ypres, had their singer die in a car accident and it ended the band. My friend that does a yearly metal festival out here in Portland, Oregon had them booked to play and everything. Then the singer died. Sucks. :(

Man, that's pretty rough. Especially as I reach the age where I'm actually getting the really strong urge to have kids of my own.
Here's another song that I really dig. Pretty messed up lyrics, though.

This one is pretty sad, too. Vocalist is great IMO.
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-5T1L23q2k]Nevermore - The Heart Collector[/url]
This is, in my opinion, one of the finest metal albums ever crafted. This song comes from the album "Dead Heart in a Dead World". I think it's a song even non-metal folks would enjoy (the vocals aren't harsh or anything and the guy has an awesome voice).
[i]Nevermore to feel the pain
The heart collector sang
And I won't be feeling hollow for so long
Nevermore to feel the pain
The words fall out like fire
I'll believe when you can't believe anymore[/i]
That f***in' chorus, man. So damn good. Amazing guitar work, too.

The lyrics are seriously "soul-crushing".

A song about the sexual exploitation of women. They even got Traci Lords to sing the chorus for the album version. A great song but with crushingly depressing lyrics.

Re: Post your favorite soul-crushing, depressing songs
I was growing a little worried that people were becoming too happy on ISH. So now I have another set of tunes for ya'll.
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI9iRfCdiIQ]Woods of Ypres - Finality[/url]
Really, if you only listen to one song I make in this post.. this should be it. This song gives me the chills. I've probably listened to it like 50 times in the past 2 days.
[i]When we have all gone, to the silence of eternity...
To first be forgotten, and lost in, the records of the earth
Could I still miss you, then, in the time and space after life
When no one is searching anymore, and where we are nowhere to be found
We didn't spend our life together
and I will miss you forever
The choice was mine, To long for a time, that will never come
Though we leave the world apart, I, still went peacefully, quietly,
with you, still, firmly... in my heart.
I will wait forever. I wait...[/i]
:(
Bonus: There are a couple cool covers of this song, [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw5U3AnwELc]here[/url] and [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKnY2f_rpRA]here[/url].
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSFoo7iAauA]The Wounded - Smells Like Teen Spirit[/url]
A very slow and heavy cover of Nirvana's track from a doom/goth metal band.
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4pUaEQz_Aw]Primordial - Gallows Hymn[/url]
Doom/black metal band that focuses mostly on historical events and times. Clean vocals make it a little easier to get into for people that dislike growls/screams/whatever.
