For me I would have to say Hummingbird, saw the cartoon video with the hummingbird shortly after we lost our beloved basset hound, and In A Future Age, Whatidsay sent this to me on my birthday, that was the day before I lost my grandmother so those two songs are the ones that make me most depressed.

i dont think 'depressing' really describes any of these songs (except maybe the Lonely 1) . Reservation, On and On and On and In a Future Age all have rreally hopefull messages in my opinion

Maybe lyrically but if you listen to the atmosphere (or vibe, feeling, whatever you want to call it) of the song, they're pretty sad songs.

For me it's Poor Places. For a period of time in my life, the breakdown of the song into chaos resembled a breakdown of sanity, and the one piano note + yankee hotel foxtrot repitition were distress signals. A very cheery thought indeed...
