Prompt: "A song about being sick"
Selected by Stephan
"Dramamine"
Modest Mouse
This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About, 1996
Though no specific illness is named in the song, it can be inferred that song's main character is dealing with motion sickness. Additionally, the lyrics suggest some sort of stress related to a strained relationship which could potentially lead to a significant physical or mental illness. The overall tone of the song is quite melancholy, but there is a bit of hopefulness. To me, this parallels the feelings of doom and hope that one might experience when diagnosed with an illness.
