First Time Ever I saw Your Face - Roberta Flack
My Immortal - Evanessence
Stone Dragone, have you seen the slide show of US Marine medics with My Immortal as the background music?
In a sea of faces, in a sea of doubt
In this cruel place your voice above the maelstrom
In the wake of this ship of fools I'm falling further down
If you can see me, Marian, reach out and take me home.....
Marian, there's a weight above me
And the pressure is all too strong
To breathe deep
Breathe long and hard
To take the water down and go to sleep
To sink still further
Beneath the fatal wave
Marian I think I'm drowning
This sea is killing me
I hear you calling Marian
Across the water, across the wave
I hear you calling Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the
Grave...
Marian
The Fate Of Norns
By: Amon AmarthI feel a chill in my heart
Like lingering winter cold
I and my son are torn apart
He was just 6 winters old
My first-born was he
And the last of my kin
The last one to carry my name
Death smiled at him its deadly grin
There is no one for me to blame
The fate of Norns await us all
I know this to be true
The day to answer Oden's call
Or walk through hel's gate
I carry him to my ship
He seems to be asleep
But the deep blue colour of his lips
Is enough to make me weep
No man should have to bury his child
Yet this has been my share
The tears i shed run bitter and wild
It's a heavy burden to bear
His body feels so light in my arms
His skin is pale as snow
Yet his weight feels heavy in my heart
As my sadness continues to grow
Allfather!
What fate has been given me?
Why must I suffer?
Why must I feel this pain?
Allfather!
LIfe has lost it's meaning to me
I think I'm going insane!
I lay him down on a pyre
A burial worthy a king
And as I lie down by his side
I hear the weaving norns sing
The fate of Norns await us all
There is no way to escape
The day to answer Oden's call
Or walk through hel's gate
The fate of Norns await us all
I know this to be true
It's time to answer Odens's call
My son, he calls for me and you
One of my favorite songs ever, but yes it's very sad.

Roberta Flack is one of my all time favorite female vocalists and I love her voice and music. But I can't see how First Time... is a depressing song. http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/r/robertaflack8341/thefirsttimeeverisawyourface288479.html
She sings quietly of the love she feels.
Pray tell how is it depressing please?
While not a depressing song as such the meaning of it for me means it's a sad song. I think people attach sentiments to songs that the sing/writer didn't mean at the time the record was made?
I am either much older than I wanted to believe, or much more sheltered than I ever believed. The vast majority of these songs I have never heard of! That in, and of itself is quite depressing. It brings to mind one of my favorite teen angst songs "Love Hurts" by Nazareth.
Ahh to be YOUNG, and depressed those were the days.
