Songs about depression/suicide?

Postby WeLiveSoFastx83 » Thu Apr 23, 2020 9:05 pm

I am not aware of many new wave songs directly about depression/suicide. I know the Smiths are pretty depressing, as is the Tears for Fears album The Hurting, but I also know/found:

Dalek I Love You - A Suicide


Cabaret Voltaire - Why Kill Time (When You Can Kill Yourself)


Depeche Mode - Blasphemous Rumours


Kim Wilde - View from a Bridge


Gary Numan - This is Love

The current situation has been depressing to say the least; hoping you’re not going through any similar states of mind. The world needs new wave fans.

‘Bobby’ by Jerry Harrison from the casual gods lp always stays with me


Of course the Police ‘can’t stand losing you’

This is definitely my favorite song about suicide. Such a happy song too:
