painfully honest pieces of music

[ed miliband]

first thing that springs to mind is 'kiss the bottle' by jawbreaker

-ZTvqUvgYCI

i guess the entire oeuvre of elliott smith and (definitely) daniel johnston - sometimes the latter's music is just too honest

[Ostrinski]

Jawbreaker and Elliott Smith certainly do write a lot of songs that would fall under that category.

[Sam_b]

Anything by Daniel Johnston really.

whole of the album 'tonight's the night' by neil young:

Ten years after the original recording, David Briggs and I talked about Tonight's the Night, on which he had shared the producer credit with Neil. At home a couple of weeks earlier he had come across the original tape, the one that wasn't put out. "I want to tell you, it is a handful. It is unrelenting. There is no relief in it at all. It does not release you for one second. It's like some guy having you by the throat from the first note, and all the way to the end." After all the real smooth stuff Neil had been doing, David felt most critics and others simply failed to read what they should have into Tonight's the Night -- that it was an artist making a giant growth step. Neil came in during this conversation, which was in his living room. When David stopped Neil said, "You've got that original? I thought it was lost. I've never been able to find it. We'll bring it out someday, that original."

Fiona Apple's 1999 album "When the Pawn...". poetic and rage filled and autobiographical.

Drugs dont work by the Verve:
Now the drugs don't work,
They just make you worse.
And I'll know I'll see your face again.

Never, come down
Never gonna come down, no more, no more...

[Hit The North]

John Lennon's brilliant first solo album.

Interesting you mentioned that album now-- I was actually just thinking John Lennon Double Fantasy. I think Lennon probably always wrote from his own experiences.

Anything by Joy Division.

[Internacional]

Anything by Joy Division.

Seconded. But I'm a bigger fan of their Warsaw work.

Try Edo G's "Wishing". I'm not a rap kind of guy, but I do make exceptions.

That must make you the member of a club of one.

[Internacional]

That must make you the member of a club of one.

I am awfully lonely.

I don't know. Joy Division was a lot more creative and focused on work, but Warsaw felt like loose energy. That's cool to me.

So Working Class Hero and Imagine were about being a millionaire pop star?

Man, chumba can really hit the nail on the head sometimes.


The dignity of labor, it never rang true to me, where's the pride in the 9 to 5 and the crook of bended knee
