Post the darkest songs that you know



Yes, everything he wrote was really dark. When he killed himself and people were shocked I just said....he's been writing incredibly dark music for almost 30 years.......
For me personally, this might be the most dark he wrote

Lots of great tunes. BTW: he was murdered. It is impossible for someone to break 9 of their own ribs and then do what was done to choke him out. no fucking way. Anyways, here is my favorite dark one. I saw him solo two times. The first was from the third row in a small place. So funny, someone got the entire concert on tape and I was two rows in front of them. You can see the back of my head...LOL

Let me see if I can find IT. You reminded me of this. Thanks.

Give me a minute.

IN the meantime:

 
Found IT.



When I'm Down
Chris Cornell
What say you now?
The door is opening on your vigil
And I'm in my usual way
I save my breath, knowing what you're
Wanting me to say
I only love you when I'm down
You say that midnight opens its arms to me
Leaving you alone, and I fly so far away
Until the light blurs my vision
And I have nowhere to roam
I only love you when I'm down
And I only love you when I'm down
And I'm only near you when I'm gone
But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know
I'm down all the time

Well I know you're reaching out
And you need to feel my hand
You want to be understood, yeah well I understand
I know you hold precious little hope for me
And in your happiness
I'm always drowning in my grief
And I only love you when I'm down
And I'm only near you when I'm gone
But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know
I'm down all the time
All the time, all the time, all the time

This is the first time I've ventured into this sub. I like it.
 
Found IT.



That's a great one too and yeah it wouldn't surprise me if he was murdered but he was as dark as it gets. I saw him twice solo, once with soundgarden and about 5x with Audioslave in which he also wrote some dark stuff.

 
When I heard this for the first time as a little mang, my hair stood up on my head.

 
Then with Ronnie James Dio they produced this.



The voice in the beginning says, "You are......……….useless."

The mob doesn't rule, Satan does.
 
but if we're talking about deep, thought-provoking and existential type stuff, then this is what you want:

Nick Cave has so many dark & disturbing songs, then you read up on his life and it's like "fuck", and there's really nothing else to say.

For me it's Strange Fruit, especially once you know the story behind it and what it's about.
