After Midnight- it's pretty dark at that time.

 

[Sparky472]

 

[Bobbyoso]

Lake of Fire - Nirvana is pretty bleak. Plus, Cobain's history adds to that impression, for me anyway.

 

[JDB2]

Some on this forum have a pretty low bar for what constitutes "dark". This, is dark:



Strangely beautiful, though.

 

[Fendereedo]

Joy Division - Decades
" " - Atrocity Exhibition

 

[buster poser]

Drugs lost what I had found
Burn friendships to the ground
Turn my frown upside down and
Medicate, meditate, medicate

 

[ndcaster]

ten times ten ... times ten!

 

[ndcaster]

apologies if this has been posted, but this one takes the cake

 

[micpoc]

Come - "Brand New Vein" from debut album Eleven : Eleven (1992)

 

[Mindovermatter62]

Two come to mind...Honey[Bobby Goldsboro]- Beginning Of My End[The Unifics].

 

[fendrguitplayr]

Frédéric Chopin - Funeral March

 

[oregomike]

There is none darker.

There are many good ones, but this first popped into mind.

 

[Blue Bill]

This may be the darkest song; about hair, at least.

 

[Cjteleforum]

Comes at the end of a *really* bleak journey, and somehow gets even bleaker.

Also this one:

 

[Cjteleforum]

There is none darker.

I have to disagree. It's black humor, in the vein of Edward Gorey or Charles Addams. Or Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal".

 

[NoTeleBob]

 

[srvy]

Sorry if already mentioned but I find Zevons-Excitable Boy pretty dark.

 

[suthol]

Haven't read the whole thread so if these have already been nominated apologies
