The chorus melody came first, and trying to fit words into it, I ended up liking 'This is what is in my head'. This is what lead it to be about living with mental health, so this song is far more serious than most of my others.
The piano intro and instrumental break were created digitally.
More effort was put into promoting it as was was going out on World Mental health Day, 10 September 2024.
Today is World Mental Health Day
Here is my song ‘This Is…’, about the struggles of living with mental health challenges. It’s for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, lost, or like they’re carrying the weight of the world.
If it resonates with one person, it is a success.
Know you're not alone. You are seen, you are heard, you matter, and music is a great healer.
Please listen, enjoy, share!
This is….
Verse 1
When the sun comes up but I’m feeling down
I want to move on but I can’t get around
The sadness from the day before still lingers in my mind
I find it hard to carry on and leave those thoughts behind
It feels like I am all at sea, a long way from the beach
I think that I’m not wanted there, I’m told it’s out of reach
Chorus
This is what is in my head
This is all the lies I’m fed
This is not some fantasy
This is my reality
Verse 2
When I go outside and the walls close in
I keep it together my head in a spin
I go down the road and feel their eyes as they all stare at me
I up my pace pull down my hood are they’re laughing at me?
I’m out my comfort zone right now, this world is not for me
It’s in my mind I feel secure and there I can be free
Chorus
Verse 3
I can get through the day in my own kind of way
I might look okay but I’m not okay
The struggle is real you don’t know how I feel
Life is such an ordeal it can be quite surreal
Chorus
