Hey, hey, it's music Monday. With the Bears loss I thought it would be fun to mention a few songs that let the depressed wallow in their depression (think Dwight Schrute listening to "Everybody Hurts" when Michael embraces the temp). Some songs are good for the lyrics, others mainly for the title.
Oh, and please leave your football comments on my other post. This post is about music. :)
"What If I Stumble" by dc Talk
"Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica
"Kicking Television" by Wilco
"Sunday" by Sia
"(Nice Dream)" by Radiohead
"Captain of a Shipwreck" by Neil Diamond
"Numb" by Linkin Park
"Trampled Underfoot" by Led Zeppelin
"Hurt" by Johnny Cash
"Flood" by Jars of Clay
"Over and Out" by Foo Fighters
if your boss started liking Ryan the Temp more than you, you'd want to listen to that song too.

Steve,
Is that all you've got? How about the best one for you being a Bears fan.
"Sunday Bloody Sunday" U2
"One Lonely Night" REO Speedwagon
"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" U2
"Mistakes and Glories" POD
"Ridiculous" POD
Probably like you said, for the titles more than anything.

how about:
"Creep" by Radiohead
"Some guys have all the luck" by Rod Stewart
"Rainy days and Mondays" by the Carpenters
"One" by Metallica (or as my dad pronounced it when I was in middle school Metal-etica)
"The Needle and the Damage Done" by Neil Young
"Fire and Rain" by James Taylor
it doesn't quite fit the category but a great sad song is "Last Kiss" J Frank Wilson/Pearl Jam

haha! i dig it, man! what a great list!
a suggestion or two:
"bittersweet symphony" (the verve)
"numb" (linkin park)
what about a positive song to look forward to next year's season: "i get knocked down" (chumbawumba)

Love your blog, and I read it weekly at least and always benefit. But you were way out of line choosing the Bears. I have a little blog, not nearly as terrific but yours but I wrote up an article displaying why the COLTS are really the Lord's choice.

Cold Play: Nearly every song, but particularly Fix You.
However the rendition by the elderly is deeply moving.

Particularly apropos would be "Crying in My Beer" by Chicago punk legends Screeching Weasel. You can't beat SW for my money.
