Songs of Pain
''Songs of Pain'' is the first album by folk singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston, recorded on a simple tape recorder and released on Compact Cassette. Johnston recorded these songs in the basement of his parents' house in West Virginia.〔(The Austin Chronicle: Songs of Pain Was Not in Vain ), Louis Black〕 It was recorded in 1980 and 1981, and handed out to friends by Johnston. It was rereleased on cassette by Stress Records in 1988, and on Compact Disc in 2003 by the label Dual Tone, together with ''More Songs of Pain'' as ''Early Recordings Volume 1''.

All songs feature Johnston on vocals and piano, except for "Premarital Sex" where he plays organ. The opening track, "Grievances", introduces themes that reoccur throughout Johnston's career. He sings about his unrequited love to "the librarian", which refers to a girl named Laurie Allen who has functioned as a muse in many of Johnston's songs. This has been described as the quintessential Daniel Johnston song, including by Johnston himself.〔(The Austin Chronicle: The Continuing Story of Daniel Johnston - Genius of Love ), Ken Lieck〕 Not only the lyrical but also the musical theme of the song has been alluded to in later works. The word "grievances" has also been reused in other song titles, like on ''More Songs of Pain''s "Mabel's Grievances" and ''Yip/Jump Music''s "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Your Grievances".
Other themes on the album are premarital sex ("Joy Without Pleasure" and "Premarital Sex"), Christianity ("A Little Story") and marijuana ("Pot Head").
Between some of the songs are recordings of Johnston's mother screaming at him that he will never make anything of himself. According to Johnston on "The Goat Show", from ''Lost Recordings Volume 2'', this was an "act", though that was likely a facetious remark, as Johnston claims that he and his mother had been working on this act "for about 20 years", which was about his age at the time.
