I’ve been mulling on this since the thread went up. I’ve never been moved to tears by music alone. I put it down to trauma or my brand of neurodivergence
Currently:
Gravity Sucks, The Last Thing - Lebanon Hanover
Various Methods of Escape, While I’m Still Here, This Isn’t the Place - Nine Inch Nails
Where Are We Now? - David Bowie
All We Ever Wanted Was Everything- Bauhaus
There’s a lot more, but this is what comes to mind. Bob Dole listens to a lot of sad music. Bob Dole is depressed.
Bob Dole has good taste.

A gentle tune about how cool nature is and how far we’ve become separated from it, and what we’ve lost in the process.
K.I.Z. - Hurra die Welt geht unter
Chill song about
the end of capitalism.La Dispute - Environmental Catastrophe Film
This one fucked me up, in that way of like, everything we do is struggle, why do we try, everything is headed towards ruin and the patterns of our lives invariable contribute to the ruination of everything we care about and all the people around us kinda way.
I was just tryna find some background music to listen to while I worked my desk job, man. 😥
Anyways I’m gonna go mow the lawn while listening to this, I’m sure that won’t trigger anything dreadful in me.
Update: It totally did!
Number one on my depression playlist, Neva Denova - I got a feeling
The saddest song I know is an autobiography, Sarah Ogan Dunning - I hate the Capitalist System
Mac Miller - Good News CW substance abuse, depression

Zombie is a great song, so long as you ignore it being an anti-IRA anthem
aw frick
I just re-watched it and you’re right. All these years of hearing it and I thought it was just anti-war but I never payed attention to the video until now.
It’s still a banger though lol
Linger is the one that would make me more likely to cry though, Zombie has more of a dance energy
I’ve never heard Time in a Bottle. That was a really good tune. Ive heard the other two and they also get me going a bit.

From a young age I thought about going to war and what that would be like. My father was quite nationalistic and even asked me once (when I was like 10 or 12 or 13) if I would enlist in a defensive war against the USA, if I was 18. When I said yes he was as proud as I’d ever seen him. I watched band of brothers with him and my brother quite often, also from a young age, I spent a lot of time trying to get inside the minds of the soldiers there, so as to understand if I could perform in that kind of environment, and what it would take to do so.
When I hear, Green Fields of France, John McDermott, it reminds me of the fear I had as a kid watching those movies/shows, wondering if one of those soldiers might be me. Through the tragedy I saw on screen I learned to steel my heart, and this song returns me to what I encased within, the innocence I buried because that’s what I thought being a man was. I’ve been a woman my whole life, but I didn’t know then. What I did know was that manhood was something I had to perform. On some level I knew being a man wasn’t inherent to me, so I constructed one inside of me.
The first time I heard this song I was riding in my Dad’s car, younger than the above, and so hearing the song connects me to that time, and how scary it was when I first started to reckon with the idea of whether I’d go to war in the future.
Good choice! I already know this one and have had an entire ww1 themed punk album using with the lyrics comprised of quotes and poetry from the time. I remember when the Iraq war was declared and I basically lost my fucking mind about it. I was a kid and figured if saddam had wmd a ear would be the time to use em. Got told on the drive up to my grandparent’s house that they don’t hsve em and it was sll bullshit and then spent the test of the night sitting in my grsndparents living room watching the bombing raids on CNN. I felt the fear I had about being bombed in retaliation shown live on tv and I knew there were kids my age living their just as scared as I just was seeing thst fear realized. That moment made me who I am.
