A couple of tunes to mark Mental Health Awareness Week. The first is Black Dog by Arlo Parks. The line “It’s so cruel what your mind can do for no reason” is so poignant and highlights the struggle of those living with depression. A powerful message in such a simple and beautiful setting.
To pair with this I've chosen So We Won't Forget by Khruangbin. A more uplifting song but the video had me in floods of tears by the end as it's such a sad and beautiful story. Just listen to the song without watching if you don't want to end up the same.
