On Dec 20th 2019 Jason Sees Band released another single called “Make You Smile”. This song is special to our band as it was inspired by personal struggles from within our immediate families. Mental illness seems to be a plague running scorched earth across our nation. I’m not sure if it is how we live, what we prioritize, social media, pharmaceuticals, or just simply the human condition, but it seems like I hear about a suicide or attempt so often now its almost common place. As someone who has endured life altering tragedies at a relatively young I have some experience with the deepest darkest placed of the human psyche. I know how thick the dark can be. A line in the song reads “I know the dark can be so thick, like a tick it will suck you blood, and make you sick”.
I don’t really have any answers or know what I’m talking about when it comes to mental illness. But when I was in my darkest places I just kept telling myself I had to keep plodding forward. It was like plodding through an endless field of deep mud, every step seems harder than the prior. In the song I write “nothing worth fighting for…..is given for free laid at the foot of your door…….nothing worth fighting for is free”. Keep pushing for, keep fighting. I promise things get better. Time is the ultimate healer.
If you are someone struggling from depression or suicidal thoughts please reach out to someone. If you don’t have anyone you are comfortable talking to their are hotlines to call. CLICK HERE.
Take care of each other out there. Its a weird world and life is a weird trip. Keep fighting, its worth it.
