I know it's an actual Dutch word and how to pronounce it, but the word is rarely used and the way you posted it sounded like you implied that 'suicide' is the only translation.. And yes, I am Dutch, that country after my name is my location as well as my nationality  | ||

I think a lot of Greenday songs (especially on Dookie) are depressive, I mean, the lyrics of Basket Case are pretty sad, even though the music is uplifting and joyful | ||

Most depressing Radiohead song, I think would be "How To Disappear Completely" off their album Kid A And the best song ever is There There, not The National Anthem. wtf =[ | ||

Also, let me say that I'm a very, very big fan of Radiohead, but mostly their mid/late 90's tunes. In fact, I was so obsessed with this band after having heard Ok Computer that all I ate, drank and shat was Radiohead. For two years. I used to be completely uninterested in music, couldn't understand why people spent so much time listening to it. I could pick up a nice tune and dig it, sure, but I never went hardcore. Then, one day, my brother played Exit Music for me, and it was one of those moments in life that I'll never forget. I listened to this song over and over as I thought it was the most beautiful piece ever written (still think it's an awesome song, one of my all-time favorites) But all good stories come to an end. When they released Kid A, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Was THIS what I had waited for so long? Ballsy tunes (National anthem) or Thom Yorke making infant sounds (Kid A the song) was a bit too much for me to digest. I remember thinking, "Does this even qualify as music?". I still think Kid A is the biggest let down (pun intended, RH fans will get it  ) in music history. Seriously, what's so great about it? Barring Optimistic, the whole album is filled with songs that sound too.. umm, futuristic, pretentious and ballsy.Everything in its right place is good, but too long-winded. Kid A is just a joke. This isn't music. The National Anthem has a cool bass line, and that's about it. The rest is noise. I don't care about some underlying lyrical message between the lines that might have escaped me so far. How to disappear is a nice song, but like track #1 it's far too long and sleepy. Treefingers is not a song, and was not meant to be seen as a song. It's supposed to add to the mysterious feeling of the whole album, so I'll let it slide. But still, a pointless piece and two-three wasted minutes if you ever listen to it. Optimistic is a great song. This is the RH sound that I like. A NORMAL SONG WITH A MELODY! Music isn't the same without melodies, otherwise you might as well start writing poetry, something I think Thom and the guys should seriously consider In Limbo is just weird, and adds to the total confusion that is this album. Idioteque is.. ok. But after hearing it twice, you want a break from it. Morning Bell is dull, and like 9 out of 10 songs on this album it is totally void of melody. Motion picture soundtrack is ok, it at least has some melody. It's actually quite beautiful, but very inconsistant. That's my dissection of Kid A, something I've longed to do for some time. This isn't a diss to anyone who truly likes the album. After all, like I said, I respect anyone's taste in music as long as it's genuine. I just cannot understand what the big deal is about this album. It's the greatest riddle of all time to me. It's just Thom Yorke being fed up with delivering what the media expects, and instead decides to be flaky and off-the-wall with something totally unexpected. Feel free to counter this post, but let's not ruffle any feathers, keep the respect. | ||

depressing (but good) music comes from Elliott Smith, and Nirvana. | ||
