Why Depression And Great Music Go Hand In Hand

2010-12-22T09:50:00.001-08:00

We don't hear many songs that are about the joys of being alive and celebrating who we are – especially if you don't listen to pop radio. I'm looking at you P!nk, telling me to 'raise my glass and be wrong in all the right ways.' No. Most music, in general, gives us introspection into our sadness and the past that we're still attempting to deconstruct. It illuminates the failures of our relationships and of our ability to live up to the expectations we've set for others and ourselves. Generally, music is sad and we tend to like it that way. Most good artists are slightly crazy.

Bleed It Out

I believe the chorus of the Linkin Park song 'Bleed It Out' is about creativity. The lyric that singer Chester Bennington screams is, "I bleed it out, digging deeper, just to throw it away." To me, those words describe the artistic struggle well.

There's rawness to certain memories. With time, we all move on. Yet, there are events in our lives that we live through in our minds – again and again. Every day.

These feelings burn us deep inside. In expressing them, there's a sensation that overcomes artists. It's a combination of relief and feeling overwhelmed. It feels good to let go of the emotions that they've held onto for so long, but that inner turbulence can be too much. This is why bleeding is a metaphor for conveying emotion through art. It feels like if you venture to far into the void that there's no coming back. To produce creative work, one masters the art of self-infliction and simultaneous reflection. Wounds are constantly recreated and examined. Artists dig into themselves, on purpose, and as Bennington suggests, this process can be unfruitful. The words and music that are derived from this vicious cycle aren't always the best. They don't live up to their standards. Or aren't things the artist is ready to expose to their audience at this moment. So they just throw them away.

Suffer For Us

"It appears carving out a career as a musician isn't just perilous when it comes to earning a living – it can also cause damage to your physical and mental health," writer Helienne Lindvall adds. Indeed. This is one subject that isn't talked about much in our discussions of the intersection between art, commerce, and social media, being an artist doesn't only entail getting 1,000 true fans and giving them reasons to buy your music. It's also about being able to go through hell and live to tell about it. You don't need to suffer from depression to create good music.

However, if you survey some of the greatest songs ever written, they're all mostly about enduring heartbreak, depression, and going through things that most of us don't have the capacity to put into words. We need artists, as they suffer for us.

And we suffer with them. As it turns out, their depression is our depression too.

Jamie XX is the guy from the popular 2k9 buzzband The XX who plays 'the drums', except he doesn't have a drumset and he just taps on some lil sampler thingy. I guess that is a kewl gimmick, but really worried abt him getting carpal tunnel or something.

Seoul Korea opens up to indie music scene
http://musicindustryreport.org/?p=28782

What defines a “good” live music scene may vary from country to country, but Seoul’s crowd is inarguably changing — toward a more Western-filled outlook and constitution. The next couple of months will see a relatively dense indie line-up for Seoul, starting with witty rap duo Das Racist from Brooklyn playing this weekend, and moving all the way up to the Icelandic post rock of Sigur Ros’ Jonsi next week…..

The Age of Adz Pitchfork

2010-11-16T09:37:00.001-08:00

Great new album The Age of Adz, check out the review on Pitchfork

With his sixth proper album, Sufjan Stevens does battle with what we've come to expect from a proper Sufjan Stevens album. This time, instead of painstakingly humanizing the locations, historical inhabitants, and trivia of a certain slab of America, he's more concerned with his own state of mind. Banjos are out; moody electronics, deep bass, and drums that burst like geysers are in. The lengthiest song title on his last LP, 2005's Illinois, was 53 words long; here, that same superlative goes to a tune called "I Want to Be Well". He's whispering less, hollering more. And at the climax of The Age of Adz, the devout Christian and poster boy for mannered indie-dude sensitivity shouts, "I'm not fuckin' around!" no less than 16 times. Believe him.

I think Cher is a great singer but I was enjoying the song a who lot more before the change to mocking bird.
