Most depressing Wilco song


Recommended Posts

Sunken Treasure - One of my friends not familiar with non-mainstream music visited and heard this track while my player shuffled. He proceeded to ask me how I could listen to such depressing music even if it sounded excellent.

 

Via Chicago - I don't need to comment about murder ballads.

How to Fight Loneliness bums me out a bit. Jeff's cover of Crack a Smile (even though the topic is "Most Depressing Wilco Song") is also pretty bummerly but they are both great. I'd much rather hang with music that stirs a little sadness than music that elicits no emotional response at all. :thumbup

You know, I read this really great interview with Jeff circa Summerteeth, and he mentioned its suicidal overtones - something I had never thought of until I read that.

There's really no particular song that depresses me. I kind of embrace the sadness inherent in some of the tunes. But Radio Cure is the first thing that comes to mind.

Radio Cure was the first one that popped into my mind too.

Also when Jeff covers "True Love Will Find You in the End".

 

 

Forgive me...I never knew this was a cover. Who sang/wrote it originally?!?

 

 

 

 

 

And my choices would be...

 

 

The Lonely 1

How to Fight Loneliness

Reservations

 

...there are many more, but those three stick out.
