Hello everyone. I am doing this paper about songs that have messages in them about depression and suicide. Does anybody have any suggestions of some songs? I have a few that I could consider, but need some others. Thanks.
 
Try Gloomy Sunday....it's said to even make people commit suicide!

Just about anything made by My Chemical Romance. lol. They had one song I can't remember the name... came on the radio once or twice... like teenagers or something like that. Didn't come across so much about suicide but as pulling a columbine, which sounds kinda worse to me. 😛

As for suicide, two stick off the top of my head as being pretty famous: Shinedown's "Colt 45" (surprisingly good song despite the theme. I <3 that band though). And of course the classic "Don't Fear The Reaper" by the Blue Oyster Cult
 
The theme song from MASH is called "Suicide is Painless." That's one off the top of my head. Some others come to mind, but they mostly deal with the aftermath if I'm remembering it correctly.
 
I guess Nirvana's "I hate myself and want to die" is pretty straighforward.

I have never heard a song that has made ME want to commit suicide, per-se, but I have to confess my overwhelming urge to murder Rod Stewart whenever one of his songs comes on the radio...In my opinion, I don't feel that this is a matter of psychology so much as common sense.:couch:

"Jesus" by Brand New was actually written by the lead singer after he took pills intending to kill himself. The song was his suicide note, though after writing it he realized he needed help and went to the hospital.
 
According to Dave Mustaine, Megadeth's song "Skin of my teeth" was about his attempted suicide.
 
Fade To Black by Metallica, Paranoid by Black Sabbath, Suicide Solution by Ozzy Osbourne
 
"Suicide Solution" by Ozzy Osbourne.

The song was very controversial following its release. On January 13, 1986, Osbourne was taken to court by the parents of John McCollum, a teenager who shot himself in the head while listening to this song. What is mostly overlooked is that John was reported to have a depression illness. Although the court cleared Osbourne in the case, many listeners continue to wonder what Osbourne was saying part way through the song.

Gotta agree with u! 😀

and add:

"The Pass" by Rush
The song addresses the issue of suicide among many teens.
 
there's some song by blink 182 that's about teenage suicide. i think it's called "adam's song".
 
This song is kind of about depression...but listen closely to the lyrics. Ignore the movie, just listen.

Coil-Who'll Fall?

Peter, a friend of mine's just committed suicide. He was a great friend of mine, and it's... I've come back, and I heard that, and it's shocked me a bit; and I wanna tell you because, um, not that you know him — that's not the point. And he planned it out; he had a... he left his boyfriend... I mean, um, he left notes... and things. But he... he threw himself off a cliff, Peter, and... I just wondered what you think that feeling is like.

What happens, what goes through your head, between throwing yourself off, and actually dying? I wondered what you thought of it. Perhaps you could call me and tell me because it would help me, because I have a terrible fear of heights, and for me, just the idea of falling, so far, and being alive... And I just wondered if things go through your head — you know, people that you love, and that, or things that you feel that you should've done — flash before you, but you can't do anything about it. I just wondered what you thought.

You're probably the only person that I can call right now. And... I'd like to see you, because I think, in a funny way we're doing that... we're just... don't really connect. One day, you know, you're gonna fall, or I'm gonna fall, or something's gonna happen; and... anyway. Well, I'm very sad. You know my number. Hope you're both well. Lots of love. Bye.
