Lyrical Headshots 2: The Jam and the Buzzcocks Not Your Usual Doctor
-
- Personal Journals
This "Lyrical Headshots" series delves into popular song lyrics that explore mental health. We are sitting on an untouched goldmine of literature written on the subject which hasn’t been discussed enough, and Not Your Usual Doctor, Dr.Charlie Easmon, is here to change that.
In this episode, he performs and unpacks the lyrics of ‘Have You Ever Had It Blue’ and ‘Frightened’ by Paul Weller and ‘Orgasm Addict’ by the Buzzcocks. Respectively, the songs cover the following topics:
The difference between sadness from adversity and clinical depression. ‘Frightened’ is a brave exposé that even as a performer who gets up on stage and commands crowds of fans, one can still feel small, lonely and anxious. We finish with the topic of sex, masturbation and porn addiction.
We’d love to hear how the episode made you think about these critical issues within the mental health sphere and even any song suggestions for future episodes!
