the album Every Song I Write Is For You by Dale Watson is the saddest album of all time. Whole cd was written while the singer was in a mental hospital after going crazy from his fiance dying in a car crash.

damn, that does sound pretty sad

Quote :

"Local honky-tonk hero Dale Watson is the portrait of tranquility as he sits on a porch and tells the camera that he went crazy in 2002. He talks about hearing voices until finally committing himself to the Austin State Hospital. He describes torturous dealings with what he thinks was Satan, about losing the ability to distinguish between what was really happening and what was just in his mind. Hollywood director Zalman King ("9 1/2 Weeks," "Red Shoe Diaries") had come to Austin in 2003 to find an actor to play the lead in a Faustian flick about a country singer battling demons and ended up finding the real thing. Instead of making the intended "Austin Angel," a Burnt Orange production that is on the back burner until next year, King made "Crazy Again," an unflinching documentary about Watson that will premiere at South By Southwest in March. Dale Watson says he went crazy with grief when his girlfriend died. He's taking a break from music to reconnect with his daughters in Baltimore. I had similarly come looking for something else when I contacted Watson, a beloved presence on the local club scene the past 12 years. My focus would be his last shows in town, including Sunday's traditional Christmas night fête, before he quits the music business temporarily to move to Baltimore to be closer to his daughters. Instead, I found a chilling tale about a man who says he went completely insane from grief and nursed himself back to mental health with the help of the Good Book, counseling and a cast of angels. This was a Dale Watson I didn't know. Everyone knew Watson had a hard time after his girlfriend Terri Herbert, "the love of my life," got in a car, angry after a tiff with Watson, and died in a car accident in September 2000. Word was that a guilt-ridden Watson tried to take his own life three months later, holed up in the Town Lake Holiday Inn with two bottles of whiskey and a fist full of pills. But after his road manager, Donnie Knutson, found Watson and the singer spent a week at St. David's Pavilion, Watson seemed to get back on course, dealing with his sorrow by recording the album "Every Song I Write Is For You" as an homage to Herbert. But that's actually when things really started to get weird, he says. In the documentary, which tempers the episodes recalling insanity with musical moments that show Watson in complete control, the singer chronicles a downward spiral of delusion that culminated in what he says was a psychotic episode in Rome. Desperately missing Herbert, Watson went to psychics to contact her and bought a Ouija board. One night while he was talking to her, she answered, he says. "It was the most peaceful, blissful time of my life," Watson tells me from the basement office of the Continental Club about an hour before the start of his regular Monday night gig. "I had created a world in my mind where we were still together, and it was magical." The voice of Jesus was also soon keeping him company in the fall of 2002. One night a fan in Glasgow, Scotland, ran into Watson's Lone Stars and said she'd just seen Watson preaching in a train station, but the bandmates just laughed and said it must be someone else. Then, a few minutes later they watched Watson duck down the street clutching a Bible. When the rest of the band went back to Texas after the European jaunt, Watson says the Jesus voice told him to go to the Vatican, to deliver parables Jesus had dictated to Watson to the pope. But after three days of futility, waiting to be whisked inside as a messenger of the Lord, Watson says he questioned the mission. "The Jesus voice told me that I wasn't going crazy, I was just losing my faith," Watson says. At the end of the third day, however, the calming voice of Jesus suddenly revealed to Watson with a demonic laugh that it had actually been the devil all along. Satan got into Watson's head and wouldn't let up on the onslaught of obscenities and cruel epithets. "I went straight to the Rome airport," Watson says, "and tried to get on the next plane to the States, but there were none left that night." Back at the hotel, Watson writhed in mental anguish all night, as the devil taunted him. When he finally got back to Austin, Watson admitted himself to the Austin State Hospital, where he was given Risperdal and Ambien, which calmed him and allowed him to sleep for the first time in five days. When he awoke, Satan was still in his ear, though over the next few days the voices faded and by the fourth day in the hospital, Watson told doctors Satan was no longer in him. During a psychological evaluation for multiphasic personality invention on Oct. 8, 2002, the doctor recommended "long-term individual therapy to address past issues with which he had not dealt." Watson had not fully come to terms with Herbert's death. "I went crazy from grief," he says. As with many painful, as well as joyful, times of his life, Watson memorialized 2002 with a song. "Well they say I went crazy, by crazy I mean mentally insane/ Had a world where I still had you, and I wish I was crazy again," he sings on "I Wish I Was Crazy Again," a suitable choice to inspire the title of the documentary. The song will be on Watson's next album, tentatively titled "Heeah!!" It hits stores in March on the Palo Duro label. "

bonnie prince billy's album "i see a darkness" is incredibly depressing.

some particularly depressing songs from that album: "i see a darkness", "another day full of dread", "death to everyone", "today i was an evil one", etc. you get the picture. it's a pretty dark album and it's pretty great too.

"it depresses me that people like it"

That's how I felt, but it's difficult to listen to outlaw country acts like Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, David Alan Coe, Merle Haggard or Kris Kristofferson and not appreciate it. Even some of the alt-country acts -- Gram Parsons, Ryan Adams, The Jayhawks, Okkervil River, Calexico, Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins, early Wilco, My Morning Jacket, Neko Case or Bonnie "Prince" Billy -- deserve a certain level of acclamation for straying from the pop country formula. There is a degree of desperation, beauty, honesty and devotion that is found in this genre that is more than absent from much of the music floating out there today. I just wish people would look beyond the Shania Twain's, Dixie Chicks' and Tim McGraw's, because country truly is an amazing style of music. So much of modern music is rooted in country, just give it a try.

^what he said, pop country is just like pop music in general, it sucks and is geared for the lowest common denominator

11/2/2006 9:44:01 PM

well im drownin in a river that runs deeper n deeper
flowing through the corners of my mind
in a world full of anger it seems there is no where

im tired of being alone
i wanna go home

and i looked online and cant find shit

"I Wanna Go Home by Cory Morrow I spent the last few years runnin' through my mind Trying to figure out what I was gonna do With my life and my time It seems to me things grow cloudier each day I can't seem to drink enough And I can't even find the words to say - Ain't that a shame Time is all I have And my patience will soon be run down And I'm growing so damn old Chorus Well I'm drowning in a river That runs deeper and deeper Flowing through the corners of my mind In a world full of anger It seems there is nowhere I can run to when I'm scared and I'm tired Well I'm tired of being alone I wanna go home I been told by a long line of friends Son you look run down Like you're at your rope's end Hey but that's alright They said come with us And we will take you far away Drink Wild Turkey, smoke cigars, pick guitar and play Play all damn day Well now time is all I need And my time will soon set me free And I'm growing so damn old Chorus Time is all I need And my time will soon set me free And I'm growing so damn old Chorus "

If you see the jew coming
you must be careful of his teeth.
you must grab him by his money
and i'll tell you what to do.

throw the jew down the well,
so my country can be free.
you must grab him by his horns,
