a bit morbid.. music and suicide? (a request for songs)
I'm helping out a friend who is doing some ethics/psychology/sociology thesis research of some sort and needs a list of music and/or albums that either deal with suicide or are somehow linked with suicide and depression.
So far the only thing I could think of for him was the Eels album Electroshock Blues (the entire album is sort of Mr. E's emotional response to his sister's suicide and mother's death which both occurred pretty close to each other). Unfortunately for my friend most of the music I listen to is completely instrumental so I was hoping maybe my friends from the internets could help me help him out!

Re: a bit morbid.. music and suicide? (a request for songs)
There are a lot...
The first song that comes to mind is the M*A*S*H theme, "Suicide is Painless"
I don't know the original singer, but Marilyn Manson and some others have re-made the song.
"Breath Me" Sia
"Hurt" Nine Inch Nails/Johnny Cash
"My Friend of Misery" Metallica
"Over and Out" Airborne Toxic Event
"Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" Metallica
"Where the Moss Slowly Grows" Tiger Army
"Everybody Hurts" REM
"Don't Fear the Reaper" I can't rember this artist
Hope that helps!

This probably won't be much help, as it's just about a guy who hates his life, but...

Off hand the only two I could think of were Fade to Black by Metallica and Jeremy by Pearl Jam.

Re: a bit morbid.. music and suicide? (a request for songs)
One of my favourite bands and one of my favourite albums is Sound The Alarm by Saves The Day. Most of the tracks deal with the kind of subject matter you're looking for. One track specifically is Head For The Hills. The lyrics can be found here.

Rest of their lyrics can be found here.

Re: a bit morbid.. music and suicide? (a request for songs)
I have some suggestions that hopefully help.
Emery - as your voice fades
YouTube - Emery - As Your Voice Fades (acoustic live)
Hoobastank - crawling in the dark ; More about not knowing what to do with his life. Here's the lyrics:
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/hooba...inthedark.html
Nine Inch nails- hurt (like already suggested)
Slipknot - Purity (might not help too much)
http://www.lyricinterpretations.com/...4e7e134c031e9c
Slipknot - My Plague
http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.n...256AC0000BA356
Staind - waste (maybe)
http://www.lyrics007.com/Staind%20Ly...%20Lyrics.html
Poison the Well - pieces of you in me (id say thats pretty depressed)
http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.n...256C630029818E
Flyleaf - Cassie; is about Columbine
Armor for Sleep did an entire album on the theme of death.
Maybe Something by Atreyu like "The rememberance Balad"
http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.n...256EC500231507
Well, I just went through my collection of music that's on my laptop, that's all I could find. I hope that helps. Maybe some oldschool Linkin Park might hit the spot. All of these are more on the Depression note as opposed to the suiside, other than the slipknot (they blame everything in the world on them) and the song Cassie by Flyleaf. Hope it helps! I'll keep lookin
0.1 '05 Het. Hypo - Lelu
1.0 '06 Hypo - Chester ; 0.1 '11 hypo holdback

It's about the last time I tried to commit suicide, and more to the point, the first day I figured out what life was all about. It's about the last day in a life I don't want to remember and about the first day in a life that I am living right now.
