heyyyy @amber22 😀

@Sconstantine , my husband has music therapy which he calls it and will play it nice and loud

Honestly it is!! I love them all for different reasons too!! ps, If you need a good screamer for when you've just had enough, turn this one up loud and belt that chorus: "Lost My Mind" HAHA!

Hiya @Shaz51

Thanks for the tag. Sorry missed this discussion. Having dinner soon, but will read through later 🙂

Hey @StuF Sounds great, enjoy dinner and feel free to read back afterwards 🙂

@Oaktree It honestly is! I love them all for different reasons and they all mark a time in my life and in my head space!!

no worries @StuF , I know you have a great music thread here

Our next question for @Sconstantine; Do you think that by sharing your lived experiences through art and music, it might help others to be open with their own experiences? If your fans reach out and share with you, what do you find most meaningful in that?

& For the Community: If you reach out to share with an artist the impact of their work, what do you hope to gain from that experience? @Shaz51 @Blossom497 @Oaktree @Appleblossom @Sophia1

@Shaz51 I love this!!! Tell your husband hes got the right idea! If you/he needs a good screamer for when you've just had enough, i have a song called "Lost My Mind" that i love to belt in the car! hehe!

Absolutely love that Mr Shaz enjoys his music! @Shaz51

My main goal is sharing to help others but there is a battle with being open and honest on social media for the artist, because often we aren't alone in those feelings and a lot of people do reach out. I have a responsibility as that person they're reaching out to, to respond in an appropriate way that makes them feel safe. But I also need them to understand that I am just a songwriter not a therapist. Although i may understand exactly what they are going through!!

It's definitely an interesting battle but I find that at its core, it's all just about humans having a conversation with another human about something very real, so I try to keep it on that level and I often just aim the conversation around making them feel heard.
