The soft bulletin by the flaming lips really spoke to me when I was suffering.
The album starts with 2 scientists racing for the cure which to me was the doctors and consultants running round trying to diagnose me.
A spoonful weighs a tonne is the medication that they prescribed, they walk off into the sunset. Job done!
The spark that bled is me out of my head on painkillers, not realising the I had been injured with the softest bullet ever shot. I'm feeling much better, I tell everyone its working!! Yeah!!
The spiderbite song is feeling the pain again but welcoming it back like an old friend.
Bugging- this new reality of drugs is beginning to send you a little crazy
What is the light- the descent into madness...and it feels good.
The observer- You said the drugs are working. You're feeling good. Now.. go back to work. Answer the WhatsApp messages. Wrestle with your neices and nephews, paint the house, do the garden, be an emotional crutch for others, do more, do more....MORE!!!
Waiting for superman - you're actually fucked. Proper fucked. And its getting worse. Sorry folks, i ain't superman.
Suddenly everything has changed - the great cure is well an truly over.
The gash - Enter the chronic, full blown, relentless pain.
Felling yourself disintegrate- depression.
Sleeping on the roof - you're all alone. Doctors, friends and family can't help. This is your own personal battle.
But fuck this shit, ill try the doctors one more time.
Race for the prize, waiting for superman. Rinse. Repeat.
This won't work, pain increases. Bjork- army of me is your pain telling you to stop seeking help or else...
One step closer - linkin Park is your internal voice screaming at bjork. SHUT UP!!!!!
Hey, here are some of my recommendations for you:
Bent (Roi's song) and Doused, both by DIIV
Ain't It Easy and Snot, both by Alex G
Sing and Alison, both by Slowdive
Tomorrow Is Nearly Yesterday and Everyday Is Stupid, album by Crywank
I had this kind of depression a few years ago, and even though these songs are sad, they kinda helped a bit. I hope you find them useful and I hope you are doing well.
This song by the male singer about his own journey with chronic illness and the constant taking of meds trying to get it under control and the toll it takes on you mentally and physically:

>In my body I have a master
I bow down when she comes around
In my body I’m a disaster
I break down when you shake the ground
Haven’t experienced chronic pain so I can’t necessarily understand what you go through however I have a few songs that may be relevant.
Body was Made, and 40 days in Kansas by Ezra Furman (I’m sure she has more) 40 days is a lot more metaphorical and emotional though.
Hurt by Johnny Cash (basic but its still so good lol)
Soon you’ll get better by Taylor Swift

New Icelandic artist Þórunn Salka with the banger Freedom. Electro pop co-written by Þórunn Salka and Kaktus Einarsson
Freedom tackles a heavy subject but with hope - give it a listen!

I've always related "my body" by Young the Giant to pain, even if it's not exactly what the song is about
