Mental Health is so very misunderstood. In addition to the social stigma, there are rampant misconceptions about the help we seek. This song wants to let you know that you are not alone.

GHOST WALK ~ New song and video
When we are in deep despair, walking through the world around us can be a dissociative experience, looking at others who seem “normal” as though they exist in some other realm, where doing everyday activities and enjoying life is no challenge. Depression, and states of feeling outside of the conventional society, can make us feel as though we are only floating through the traditional world, unseen.
This new video on Youtube today features Barbara Dragon performing The Repressions original song “Ghost Walk” and hoping very much that it makes someone out there feel understood, and not alone.
Let’s Get Depressed~ a song for our times~ new video!
These days are difficult, and there is so much to surmount. This song is for anyone feeling a little overwhelmed right now.
Let’s Get Depressed!
Video from the Kyle Rogers record release show at Terra Firma in Brooklyn…
SLIDING SCALE – New Video
LYRICS:
SLIDING SCALE
This is a sick song
This is a sad song
This is a bad song
Where everything’s wrong
I’m coming apart now
Soul-sick in my heart now
I can’t even start now
So run right along
I’m lying in bed bow
So leave me for dead now
Get out of my head now
I’m not very strong
On my sliding scale of sadness
On my third derail today
You pay for how you play and what you cannot say and what you throw away
Which came first the sick or sad which way… Sliding scale… Sliding scale
This is a sick song
This is a sad song
This is a bad song
Where everything’s wrong
I’m not a machine here
Quit acting so mean dear
I’ll fix it up next year
If that’s not too long
The world’s a bit gray now
it’s just not my day now
Can’t go out and play now
I do not belong
On my sliding scale of sadness
On my third derail today
You pay for how you play and what you cannot say and what you throw away
Which came first the sick or sad which way……………….. Sliding scale…. Sliding Scale…… Sliding scale….Sliding scale
This is a sick song, This is a sad song This is a bad song , Where everything’s wrong
This is a sick song, This is a sad song This is a bad song , Where everything’s wrong
