Ok this song is great in all but

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the pages of the book?
"Easy steps to a new you
SHARE A MEAL WITH FRIENDS
Chewing food is proven to drown out the screams of our inner demons."

Absolute masterpiece

"I'm not well, but I'm alright"

Got out of the hospital for a suicide attempt a few weeks ago and yeesh this hits me so hard. Here's to everyone getting better, we got this.

This song and video hit way too close to home. I've been trying to manage my depression for what seems like my entire life and it feels like I'll never really be well. But I am learning to function even when I feel like i was hit by a truck, and I'm kind of proud of myself for that.

[PotatoIsNotCute]

This is a very random YouTube recommendation, but I am VERY glad I saw it.

[StarbucksMary]

I'm crying and laughing, this the most relatable thing I've ever seen. Thank you and hang in there, everyone who's feeling the same

[ratboy_]

Hey this is pretty cool. I'm so glad you're back to producing songs you wrote. Your lyrics have always been my favorite part of your music.

"I just want my mind to quit, so I can finally fall asleep"

This song made me feel things

[santannaguzmansr.]

Can’t wait to tell my wife, her face when she listens to your music is so genuine. I can’t describe how it makes me feel when I see her listening to your music. Thank you!

[danman]

To me, this represents how people who are depressed would look like if the emotional wounds were physical instead. Maybe then people would take depression more seriously, rather than telling us to "snap out of it" as if we could turn it off and on like a light switch.

[claimedbytheearth]

Honestly, you’re my favourite human being

Ben Cooper is a genius.  This is another in such a long list of songs that left me dumbstruck.

[GamingGringo]

As I sit in my hospital bed this is the only song I can listen too. "I know I'm not well, but I'm alright"

[biggay]

I love Ben Cooper. I love this. All the music is everything i’ve ever thought alone to myself and struggled with. All of my “demons”, it seems like everyone is going through the same thing in different ways. We are never alone, the irony in it is that I(and others) feel isolated and alone and that is what pushes me to tell myself good things in hopes i’ll believe it. This music video kind of tells the story of the journey of telling yourself something but not entirely believing it, maybe a state of being manic or ignorance from sadness.

[MylesBullen]

this made me feel soft, sad, proud, goofy, and human. thank you for sharing your art.

[Moody-Boy]

That smile at the end is a hint of positivity and hope. That's where I'm at these days. A hint of positivity and hope is keeping me afloat.

[mikesmeat]

i'm impatient so here are the lyrics from what i could hear;


another evening spent
in the corners of my brain
where i wander off into the dark
and i close my eyes and hope the wolves won't follow me
but hope's hard of hearing, so i'm waiting for the teeth

i had to learn that the helping hand can be the same that holds the knife
i know i'm not well but i'm alright
you gotta learn how to take your hits
when your hands are always tied
i know i'm not well but i'm alright

i memorize the ceiling
with a fire at my feet
while i give myself advice that i can't keep
i no longer ask myself what any of this means
i just want my mind to quit so i can finally fall asleep
yeah i'm just waiting for my mind to quit so i can finally fall asleep

i kept falling for the broken wing because i couldn't pick the flight
but don't believe them when they tell you that the bird won't bite

i can't tell you if it got this way or if it started as a lie
i know i'm not well but i'm alright

[break]

i kept falling for the broken wing because i couldn't pick the flight
but don't believe them when they tell you that the bird won't
i had to learn that the helping hand can be the same that holds the knife
i know i'm not well but i'm alright
