awatt Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 On and On and On is one helluva death song, though Far, Far Away always strikes the right melancholic note every time I listen to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pocahontas Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 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.

Alastor The Great Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Reservations or She's A Jar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
winter party person Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Melissa Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I fourth Reservations. And even though it's not really that sad, Remember the Mountain Bed will occasionally make me cry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reservation, On and On and On and In a Future Age all have rreally hopefull messages in my opinionMaybe 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.

mpolak21 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 At Least That's What You Said, Another Man's Done Gone, and How To Fight Loneliness, all come to mind. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MunkyKayse Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 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... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Maybe most poignant song is what you're looking for, hopefully? Because I can't think of any Wilco song that depresses me. Except, like Johnny said, "Candyfloss." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thermocaster Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Company In My Back always seemed a bit depressing to me, albeit in a good way. Ashes of American Flags as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Dreamer In My Dreams. I almost feel guilty saying that it's my favorite Wilco song because of how fucked up it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thermocaster Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Having thought about it some more, I'd say that Nothing Up My Sleeve and Venus Stopped The Train would rank up there in the depressing department. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WaronWar Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 "Radio Cure," I always thought it was a very dark song. Also, "Via Chicago" for another dark song. But I do love them both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
You Can Be The Stone Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 "I am trying to break your heart", purely based on the vibe though, not neccesarily the lyrics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
