Feel the sun
Blog: SpunOut.ie Youth Editor talks about the difference a song made to him.
SpunOut.ie Youth Editor Ian Howley would like to introduce you to a song that means a lot to him. The song is called Feel The Sun by Melanie C.
Ian says: “After my third attempt of suicide I was sitting on my bed staring at myself in the mirror thinking about what to do next, then this song came on and the lyrics reached out to me and pulled me out of my darkness.”
”This song made me realise who I was and made me feel proud of myself. Something I could never do as a child. The line "I am the person I was looking for" changed my life and all my fears and worries disappeared one by one."
In telling Ian’s sory, Anthony Stephenson, a friend of Ian's made a video, which emphasises darkness into light with a few bumps along the way.
"The video was made in 2D to show that life isn't always clean and crisp and captures what someone is going through in their head when dealing with depression" explained Anthony.
Ian says "Feel the Sun can mean anything from feel the inner strength to feel the love for yourself. I hope you can be inspired by this like I was. I would like to thank Melanie C not just for the use of this song, but for creating a song which has not j only helped me but also many many other people."
