Can anyone suggest some noir songs to me? (Noir by whatever
definition works for you, that is.) There's a hell of a lot
of music out there that is doomy, but I don't think I'd call
Nirvana noir, for example. Angst and psychic pain thing are
there alright, but it doesn't feel noir to me. The
singer/musician has to cope with the bad shit in a certain
way for it to be noir.
British readers will hopefully forgive me for this, but the
one example of a noir song I keep coming back to is "No
Regrets" by... [ahem]... Robbie Williams. The feeling is
there in the music and the lyrics are totally screwed, and
past the point of caring. Listen to it, you'll see what I
mean.
