I'd Wait For Life - Take That

"If I close my eyes I'll dream a little deeper baby 'Cause you are always on my mind Yeah you are always on my mind For life" Just a fantastic, powerful ballad by Gary Barlow, about that person who you want so bad you'd wait for life.

Keep looking up

Depressing yet uplifting. The job I have has a tendency to be very dangerous. It is the epitome of the message I would like to leave for my loved ones when I find that where I'm going or what I'm doing is really a one way trip.

Limousine - Brand New.

This song is based on the true story of a little girl killed in a car accident. The driver of the other car was drunk... The little girl was decapitated in the accident.. and all her mother could do was hold her daughters head.. while she waited for the ambulance to arrive.

Hurt - Nine Inch Nails/Johnny Cash

Both are extremely heartwrenching, not a song for the weak hearted. There's a heap of arguement for which one is better, but I personally think that both Trent and Johnny did it wonderfully.

To think of us again? And I do Now if u can't figure out what this song is about, your retarded.

This song is pure saddness. From the slow methodical chord changes to the tangible pain in the singer's voice. It is about failure in life. If you want a depressing song go give this a listen.
