Song about mental illness

[Bunk McNulty]

There was a whole album, with some stuff that was actually more interesting than “They’re Coming…”


In poor taste perhaps, and many mental health people(and parents)where aghast at the time.
Other than that…

Extra credit for "Cherry Blossom Clinic"

Discovered that the papers have been signed
To my bed I am confined
Owing to my state of mind

MAdhouse: a personal favorite of mine by Evan Johns who died not that long ago. Fantastic solo.

Here's a tune from John Gorka that always resonated for me on this topic. It also features some truly beautiful fretless bass courtesy of Michael Manring... Hold tight, hang tough, and take care.

I wish you the best, there are professionals available to help you. My relationship with a partner with mental illness did not end well, and I’m still recovering. Take care of yourself.

Bowie's older brother disappeared into mental illness which I'm sure had a big impact on his life:

"I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight
Just like we used to do, I'm always walkin'
After midnight, searchin' for you..."

Stalker? Sorry, Patsy....I'm home by 7 followed by dinner, news @ 10, in bed by 11.

Riis

I've never been in a relationship with someone with a severe mental illness before. I haven't really figured out how to process it all yet, but I think what my brain is doing is making music. I came up with this lately and I felt compelled to share it? I mean therapy is expensive. If someone else can benefit from this catharsis as well, that's awesome.



I actually find its 'realness' quite difficult to listen to, which I think is paradoxically a good sign. Hey thanks for checking it out if you do <3

Yo this shaging rips, did you play drums on it too?

One of my all time fav death metal songs. Phil Anselmo always has a way of portraying mental illness in art all the way from Pantera, Down, Superjoint Ritual; this project of his takes the cake though IMO.

Not trying to derail, but in post #5, "Stone Free, a Tribute To Jimi Hendrix" - song Manic Depression is amazing! Jeff Beck on guitar, Pino Palladino bass, Jason Bonham on drums and Seal (!!!) on lead vocals. Many guest stars are on this as well. Whole album is great!!

The music of Sid Barrett from the early Pink Floyd days was part of the Masters Level curriculum when I was studying psychology. Sid had schizophrenia. Many of his song clearly express the feelings of a man in the middle of a psychotic break.
