Songs of Pain

by Daniel Johnston

Songs of Pain cover art

The very first, profoundly intimate cassette release from outsider art legend Daniel Johnston was recorded entirely in his parents' basement on a simple boombox. 'Songs of Pain' features his heartbreakingly earnest, unpolished vocals accompanied by rudimentary piano, constructing a deeply sad, incredibly raw portrait of unrequited love and profound alienation.
