Have you crashed into any bands, songs etc. anyhow related to BP? I know many composers & artists have BP but did they compose anything about it?

I want introduce my favourite band, for which i have been fan far before i had even idea of my diagnosis. Their lyrics feels really speaking to me, though i have no idea if those are related to BP on purpose.

The band is Polish progressive rock band Riverside. (don't be scared of word progressive, they have mostly soft with some awesome heavy metal riffs mixed to some songs)

My song recommendations totally worth listening: (all availble in spotify, probably youtube as well). This is how i feels the lyrics:

About depression:
The curtain falls

About mixed state:
Out of myself

About medication (incredibly artistic composition. You dont have to like it, just listen)
Rainbow box

About mania
Driven to destrucion

Nirvana - Lithium- but that's kind of an obvious one

I think a lot of Motion City Soundtrack's songs have a lot of underlining depression, anxiety, and bipolar themes in them. I'm actually kinda stuck in a mixed state right now and they are very soothing to blast loud and listen to. I'll give you some examples...

Delirium:

"There's a voice, there's a voice, there's a voice in my head
It's rather soothing and it tells me I'd be better off dead
But if I beat maybe punch it even kick it away
Then everything will be all rightly

I swim in pharmaceuticals
I swim in pharmaceuticals
The medicine deactivates the things I take
I swim in pharmaceuticals
I swim in pharmaceuticals
The medicine deactivates the things that take me"

I especially like the next part. To me I like to think it's about going off of your meds and into an episode and realizing how badly you actually do need them...

"I didn't know it was hot in the middle
I touched it once then I touched it a second time
'Cause I am that naive
A myriad of bright ideas
I didn't know I'd get caught in the middle
I touched it once and I touched it a second time
'Cause I am that naive
A myriad of bright ideas"

A lifeless ordinary:

I could pull the lyrics from many parts of this song...

"Are we copasetic? Are we behaving now?"

"I always knew I had the answer
But I never understood the question"

"And now we've realigned the edges
I'm doing very well I thank you
All this empathy is starting to wear me down"

"I'll try to work this out
I'll try to get it on
I'll try

I like to tell you that I'm ready
For whatever's coming
But to be honest there's a part of me
That loses control

I think I can figure it out,
But I'm gonna need a little help to get me
Need a little help to get me."

Dissapear:

Just the tempo of this one, how racey and fast it is, gets me everytime I'm in one of those moods...

"Need medication, more medication
Coursing through your interstates
All mad and great, confused and counterfeit
Kamikaze, sear the blood inside me
Guess who's got it figured out
I'll let you in on something secret

I can disappear
Anytime I want to, time I feel you
Shovel through my skin
I am with you til the end"

Even though I think this one is more about alcohol, I really like the last part, plus the tempo, it feels like mania coming on...

Interesting I'll have to try this out. I have many songs that are hip hop and meant to party to. I have a few on my YouTube by Image Dragon, Creed and Marvin Gaye that I rarely listen to. I need to give some of these a try and add them to my phone playlist.

Kansas - Icarus Borne On The Wings Of Steel



"Icarus - Borne On Wings Of Steel"

Early in the morning sunlight
Soaring on the wings of dawn
Here I'll live and die with my wings in the sky
And I won't come down no more

Higher than a bird I'm flying
Crimson skies of ice and fire
Borne on wings of steel I have so much to feel
And I won't come down no more

Sail on, sail on, I will rise each day to meet the dawn
So high, so high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky
Without my wings you know I'd surely die
I found my freedom flyin' high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky

Floating on a cloud of amber
Searching for the rainbow's end
Earth so far below me,
I'm here alone, free
I can't come down no more
