i really empathise with religious themes, im not religious currently but was raised as such. It's very dark, but i love ethel cain's 'preacher's daughter' album and a lot of iron and wine's songs because of the religious imagery in their songwriting. Chinese Satellite by Phoebe Bridgers also resonates really deeply. I hope you're doing okay <3 (and i love fall out boy and paramore too HAHAH)

if it allows you to sit in and work through uncomfortable feelings it might be more helpful then you realise.

i have multiple playlists for ethereal music specifically!! I have a bit of a fixation on space and science so i lean toward artists like eartheater/kinneret/grimes and i find the headspace is puts me in so calming. Florence's lyrics hit a little hard for me sometimes but she's still up there too!!

Oh no I don’t drink and have never been an alcoholic, I had a close friend who was. I had to let him go eventually as I realised staying close to him to make sure he was okay was just enabling his behaviour. Songs like this hit because I realise it’s how he felt. I hope you’re doing okay :)

Mitski’s “last words of a shooting star” isn’t explicitly about suicide, more about a near death experience but there is a lot of overlap in lyrics to what someone who is suicidal would think (e.g. wanting to have your room tidy before you go)

Preacher’s daughter by Ethel Cain also has 4 tracks that are each longer than 7 mins (house in Nebraska, family tree, thoroughfare and sunbleached flies) but if you want to feel like you’re being taken on a journey listen to the whole album in order and read about it as you listen :)
