“Is That All There Is?” by Peggy Lee. That song always depressed me.

Isn’t this how the whole Emo trend (and the accompanying music) started? 😉

If I pick a song just for a song then I agree with Into the West by Annie Lennox, but if I think about it I wont pick that, something entirely different… not quiet sure what that different would be though.

I was suprised “Is That All There Is” lasted untill DesertGeezer  
got it in just ahead of me. Of course there is one good reason not to commit suicide given in the final verse. I guess I am pretty  
predictable since I was indeed thinking exactly what she said  
I would be in the last verse.  
Most of the good ones, odd phrase to use in this case, have been  
mentioned but “Starry,starry Night” and Dust in the Wind" could  
suffice.
