Pain is a distressing feeling often caused by intense or damaging stimuli, such as stubbing a toe, burning a finger, putting alcohol on a cut, and bumping the "funny bone". Because it is a complex, subjective phenomenon, defining pain has been a challenge. The International Association for the Study of Pain's widely used definition states: "Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage." In medical diagnosis, pain is a symptom.
Pain motivates the individual to withdraw from damaging situations, to protect a damaged body part while it heals, and to avoid similar experiences in the future. Most pain resolves once the noxious stimulus is removed and the body has healed, but it may persist despite removal of the stimulus and apparent healing of the body. Sometimes pain arises in the absence of any detectable stimulus, damage or disease. Simple pain medications are useful in 20% to 70% of cases.
Painful is the sixth studio album by alternative rock band Yo La Tengo, released in 1993. The album marked a creative shift from Yo La Tengo's previous work, blending atmospheric and ambient sounds with their famous noise jams.
Painful features a much more melodic-driven Yo La Tengo in its hazy, dream-like songwriting. Two versions of the track "Big Day Coming" are present on the album and display the range of musical stylings Yo La Tengo works with; the first version features a simple organ melody accompanied by a soft bass counterpoint and Kaplan's guitar feedback echoing in the background, while the second version is a much more straightforward, shoegaze style with an accompanying organ solo towards the latter part of the song.
On 2 December 2014, the album was reissued with bonus material as Extra Painful, available on double CD, double vinyl and as a digital download.
The song "Nowhere Near" was featured in the season one finale of the FX drama The Bridge.
Закърмен с неохота наследник съм на нищетата
баща ми не видя в живота и опакото на парата!
На дядо му и нас съдбата преследва ни като прокоба!
В бедняшки гроб ще легна аз!
Над мене няма герб да бди! (х2)
Баща ми свърза двата края и днес лежи в гроба тесен!
Ще се превърне всичко в плесен и мойта майка ще умре!
Синът и в този свят чудесен едва ли ще е по добре!
В бедняшки гроб ще легна аз!
Над мене няма герб да бди! (х2)
Аз знам че бедни и богати и врагове по мироглед
И мъдреци и психопати велможи и слуги безчет!
не ще пропуснат своя ред в обятията на смъртта!
В бедняшки гроб ще легна аз!
Над мене няма герб да бди! (х4)
