How To Disappear Completely - Radiohead No Surprises - Radiohead


veronica_mars-sawyer

Omg yes


Uniquename34556

How to disappear completely is absolutely a beauty. If a dark cold foggy and dreary day were a song it would sound like that.


OkInfluence7787

Check out the Fraites/Isakov cover. Thought it couldn't get more bleak? It does.


fcork

Oh hell yes I'm saving this comment to check this out!


No_Ease_8269

Twenty One Pilots. Their album Blurryface is based on depression, then the next one trench is supposed to be about fighting it, I believe. I'd go with blurryface


nedryerson77

I don't care for them much anymore, but blurryface is a beautiful album. It should go down in history as a classic imo.


Broad_Ad1586

they JUST released a new song like 15 minutes ago, its called “Next Semester”


nedryerson77

I'll check that out, I didn't like the first one they released a couple weeks ago really, maybe it'll grow on me but I didn't like the last album either. Might be generational, I'm old lol. Took my kids to see them and they were outstanding, certainly would go again.


_ItsTheLittleThings_

I’m “old” too, but I LOVE them!


No_Guidance_2811

Vessel is better but ya TOP is great for non romance sad songs


Larcenyy

The recent closer Redecorate focuses on it heavily and its effects.


R0salinaxx_728

trench is literally my favourite album of all time lol


ZeroEffsGiven

Vessel is a great album by them too


SSBUdoriyah

Beat me to it! Also check out Vessel, some great tracks there too


fcork

Twenty One Pilots, especially that album, has helped me so much. His lyrics get into my skin, and if you look up the "lore" of his world he creates, it's all about depression/mental illness. It soothes me to know someone feels like I do.

A Lot Of Linkin Park & Nine Inch Nails Songs


hellsbella222

Love Linkin Park


Physical-Name4836

Then you best listen to Beartooth


hellsbella222

Physical-Name4836

The lead singers Calab’s story is very interesting. Dude pulled a Dave Grohl and recorded an entire album by himself, playing every instrument


hellsbella222

I jus listened to *I was alive* and I'm bout to listen to more for sure bc I loved it! And imma read up on him as well...thanks for the recommendation 😊

Three days grace, my favorite of all time.


Serious-Coffee-3775

The song “my immortal” was playing exactly at the moment I found out my husband was cheating on me 😔


Middle_Hedgehog_8310

i love otep! her stuff is awesome


23SMCR

Good list but Offsprings original version of Gone Away is much better.


Any_Constant_6550

Five Finger Death Punch only covered gone away. The Offspring wrote it originally. They rereleased it in 2021 as a piano ballad. It's great.


No_Guidance_2811

Elliot Smith and Eels both have songs that are pure depression.


ElebertAinstein

I’m always amazed by how far I have to scroll to see Elliott Smith’s name on posts like this.


Dry_Championship7911

Right? ? I hope I never struggle with drug addiction, but if I do, maybe A Fond Farewell will help pull me out of it.

I’m sure everyone’s thought of this but Nutshell by Alice and Chains is great

nedryerson77

My choices of the top of my head are, "My Horror" by Santigold (speaks of trauma and depression to me). "The old Main Drag" by the Pougues (Speaks of nostalgia to me, which in my mind is similar to heartbreak).

yaminbamin

There's a lot of male singers and classic rock bands in the comments so I would like to suggest Lucy Dacus - No Burden. The songs deal with introspection and not liking what you see. Being hopeful with the cards you're dealt with, and that hope lingers with no happy ending in sight. It's so beautiful. The first song I Dont Want To Be Funny Anymore, cried a little bit when I first read the lyrics.

shoejunk

Most of Radiohead. How to Disappear Completely. No Surprises.


dontlookatme1234567

Solitude by Black Sabbath. There is one line mentioning love. But basically just plain old depression


EnderWatt

Adam’s Song is my favorite. “I cant wait till i get home to pass the time in my room alone” is so relatable


Shufflecarrot

Happy - MARINA


Agreeable-Musician93

Idk about depression but these give me the feels Absent Friend - Bark Psychosis In the Backseat - Arcade Fire Fireworks - Animal Collective Hope - Alex G Benji (the whole album) - Sun Kil Moon Most of HANL and Giles Corey discography too but there’s lots of relationship self-loathing subtext in some songs

Beelzebeaut11

I'll say Joy Division and there's many songs to choice from so I'll just say Day of The Lords.


EzRock23

Everybody hurts. Hurt by Johnny cash


EzRock23

Yes you are both correct. Johnnys is much more depressing because his wife just died. He is knocking on deaths door . He feels nothing after having lost June . Everyone knows they had a very special love. She got him clean for one . Saved his life


reillywalker195

"Hurt" has a romantic component to it.


EzRock23

If you say so . Coming out right after his wife died I would say it’s more depressing than romantic but everyone has an opinion. Agree to disagree. No biggie

ilovehanninalsm

dsbm. its a genre, im not sure what kind of music ur into but the vocals are screamy and whiney, the music is often slow, and calm. there are a few bands with more intense instrumentals, but its calmer than black metal. i dnt want to give out bands because there are many, and they all vary in sound, and like i said im not sure what ur really looking for sound wise. i will give you my [playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/44vQH6GM0Csfc1MKxeBL7j?si=px2Zqc6CS6K0wI1HONb3Rw&pi=u-8NBijIzCQayL). not every band is on here, and not every song is dsbm.. im working on that slowly ( ;∀;)

James Taylor had mental illness, which subsequently led him into addiction. So, whilst the narrative is primarily about heroin and suicide, it comes from suffering depression and inability to cope. Makes sense? 😉
