Triumvirat – A Cold Old Worried Lady. I mean, the narrator listens to the titular character’s warning of “impending doom”, initially laughs her off, but the incident triggers a depressed mood in him which grows and festers until he ends up committing suicide. Not exactly uplifting.

"I am the one who guided you this far
All you know and all you feel Nobody must know my name For nobody would understand And you kill what you fear And you fear what you don't understand I call you for I must leave You're on your own until the end There was a choice but now it's gone I said, 'You wouldn't understand Take what's yours and be damned.'" From Genesis' Duke Edited by Rednight - September 24 2014 at 16:36 |

There's a lot of sad RPI, but it would require a translation. The saddest song that I know is Venezia, by Assemblea Musicale Teatrale, about a young woman who dies delivering a baby.

Not necessarily sad, just a wake-up given hopefully in advance.

Henry Cow's cover of Phil Ochs' No More Songs.
While the lyrics were written by a non prog artists I think it deserves a mention, especially for the emotional interpretation by HC. "Hello hello hello, is there anybody home? I've only called to say, I'm sorry. The drums are in the dawn, and all the voices gone, and it seems that there are no more songs.... Once I knew a sage, who sang upon the stage. He told about the world, his lover. A ghost without name, stands ragged in the rain, and it seems that there are no more songs. " I also think Mr.Bungle's, Pink Cigarette, is a fairly sad song. Especially when vocalized by the superb Mr.Patton. "I'm hoping the smoke, hides the shame I've got on my face. Cognac and broken glass, all these years Ive been your ashtray... not today. I found a pink cigarette, on the bed the day that you left. And how can I forget that your lips were there, you kiss goes everywhere, touches everything.. but me.... Your eyes cried at last. Told me everything I was afraid to ask. Now I'm dressed in white, and you've burned me for the last time... this ain't the last time. You'll find a note, and my silhouette..."

I think for me one of the most emotional songs I can think of is Ulver - EOS:
Rathnaih kalpithamaasanam, himajalaih snaanam cha divyaambharam. But seriously, take some time to yourself and drive out into the country where you can see the stars. Catch the tail end of a sunset and listen to this loud. Shivers.

A lot of sad Genesis lyrics have been cited, most of them by Tony Banks. I remember an interview where he said that he’s not a depressed person, he just finds it more interesting to write from that point of view. His first solo album “A Curious Feeling” was all about a man who is slowly losing his mind and withdrawing from the world.

I am as puzzled as the oyster
I am as troubled at the tide Should I stand amid the breakers? Or should I lie with death my bride? |
