i love it when reviewers get all dramatic ''OF ALL TIME'' - yeah right
5. DCFC - I Will Follow You Into The Dark
4. Bon Iver - Re:Stacks
I remember feeling really low one day and i was listening to my friend's ipod while walking home and i thought 'oh my god what the hell is this'
3. Sigur Ros - Untitled 4
yearning guitar, echoey vocals, drum beat like a heart...beat?
it sounds cliche (ironically so does cliche) but its all true.
2. Fionn Regan - Abacus
i dont really know what to say about this. this is actually my favourite song that i know of.
1. moon river - morrissey
just beause it's moon river and it's morrissey singing it. well, just because moon river has been there since my childhood and , inthe movie oh it's so heartbreaking and lovely and it's just such good songwriting , henry mancini must have been the spirit of beautiful music.
D.A.R.L.I.N.G. - Beach House
the drum reminds me of a heart beat- and she's singing to her darrlinnnn about never wanting to be apart from him. someone said on lastfm 'the core, the core of romance'.

I'm gonna say:
The Stage Names ends with "John Allyn Smith Sails", a document of failure so complete that the main character can't even succeed in killing himself: "I was breaking in a case of suds at the Brass Rail, a fall-down drunk with his tongue torn out and his balls removed," Sheff sings, embodying doomed poet John Berryman (his birthname gives the song its title). "And I knew that my last lines were gone, while, stupidly, I lingered on." Berryman seems to be indie's new romantic failure-- he also inspired the Hold Steady's "Stuck Between Stations". Craig Finn had the Minneapolis connection; Okkervil River essentially rewrite the Beach Boys' "Sloop John B" as a suicide note, turning the song into a joke so grim it's hard not to laugh.
You rang? Depressing music is what I know best!! I have to run some errands...it will allow me to wallow in the sadness in my head for a bit...then I'll be back with my nominees!!
I could do this all night....
speaking of Radiohead (from you other post), how's this song for depressing/creepy/weird?
Radiohead - A Wolf At The Door
This was amazing, i dont know what to say about it but i wanted to post it , it reminds me that music really is the be all and end all

Is it safe to say that they're the biggest touring band on the planet for good reason?
And it's such a beautiful song. I have an acoustic performance of this song that is haunting.
I just got goose-bumps.
