Deep breath. Okay, I recently lost one of the most beautiful people I know to suicide. My friend was pretty much love personified, he was kind, hilarious, bright, warm and he always had time for his many friends, he was there for us through thick and thin. Its hard to know how to process the knowledge that someone you loved wont be around anymore, and I wish that he had chosen to stay with us even just a little bit longer, although I think he was very brave to fight his battle for as long as he did. I wrote this song a few days after he died and Im posting it here in his memory. Its very raw and straight from the heart and its certainly not a professional production as its unmixed, unmastered and unedited. Its something us writers would probably call a rough sketch, but I wanted to share it with you guys in the hope that my friend might hear it somehow from wherever he is out in the ether. If you ever feel like youre on the edge, please, PLEASE reach out. Speak to a friend or a family member, or even better, a psychologist. Call the psychiatric emergency team in your area, or just call 111 (or 999, 911 etc). It may seem like the hardest mountain you ever have to climb but if you can get help, you can get through. Reach out. depression.org.nz has some great resources and its a great starting point. Check it out. And to my darling Freddie. I hope its peaceful where you are. Youll always be someone beautiful to me. xxx ow.ly/H2cSX
