Nah. As long as the music's good (which I'm assuming it is), I see no reason not to love it. I love the song Stop Swimming by Porcupine Tree, and it's a depressing song about suicide. However, it's not going to stop me from listening to it; it's a beautiful song nonetheless.

Now if you took your satisfaction from the definitive meaning of the lyrics... there might be a problem.

Open Your Eyes, by Staind. Now that's a depressing song.

Actually, the whole album is pretty depressing, but that song in particular really stands out.

Yeah it's not really the lyrics that get me, it's more the emotion. In the case of 'When", the music's rather plain, but the emotion he spits through the vocals is great. For some reason it's the depressing songs that have the most emotion. The other two songs have wonderful music behind the words.

Though the guitar solo on Dream Theater's "Goodnight Kiss" is filled with emotion, and it's got no words. =P

Dream On, given the right context.

Yeah man, that Megadeth just brings on the tears.

I personally think St. Anger by Metallica is the most depressing song ever. Every time I hear those trash can drums crash down, and James hoarsely yelling out that whole "St. Anger round my neck/ He never gets respect" line that pretty much makes up the whole 7 minutes of the song with no break, I cry a little bit.

I think that's a different kind of depressing. More like, "how can anything possibly be this wretched sounding? GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

Really? There's a song about sunday that people commit suicide because of it, it's that depressing.

Personally, I find Hello by Evanescance depressing.
