Happy love songs suck. Hence, here goes a selection of my favourite depressive love songs. They are actually so depressive that if I were unhappily in love, they would make me kill myself to terminate my suffering.
Snow Patrol: “Chasing Cars”
Chris Klein: “It Happens in Florida”
Ben Cocks: “So Cold”
Kill me now.

Your comment nailed it. I’m too a person who doesn’t shrink from the idea of suicide, but these songs happen to be both depressive and affirming at once. Which might be why I enjoy them 😀

‘Snow Patrol’ probably one of my favorite bands. ‘Chasing Cars’ one of my favorite songs. :’)
LikeLike
Yes, Snow Patrol is for me one of the few bands by whom I can listen to entire albums and enjoy immensely. Chasing Cars is maybe their most powerful song! I also like their “Set Fire to the Third Bar” and “Run” very much. It’s good to see other people sharing the same good taste 😉

I’m with you. I really loved that last song, “You owe me a reason”.
Please check out an Australian band called Eskimo Joe. In particular “Liar”, “Suicide Girl”, “Black Fingernails, Red Wine”. Oh so many more.

My favourite love song, hands down, and actually one of my favourite songs generally is The Smiths’ ‘There is a Light and it Never Goes Out’.

Maybe it’s just me, but I thought ‘It happens in Florida’ was hilarious! Or did my internet get messed up and stream the wrong video? (Did anyone else see a drunk guy dressed as the Easter Bunny?)
Anyway, I agree–happy love songs stink. They just sound so … insipid. My recommendation is ‘When I go’ by Over The Rhine. It’s an older song, but timelessly dark and moody.

Oh of course the video to Florida is hilarious! Dark and moody songs are my cup of coffee, I’ll need to check out your recommendation. And when there is a bit of black humour to season things up, I’m the happiest person 😉
