- April 4th, two years after my brother passed away. I was back home for university mid terms. My best friend dragged me out of the house to go for a drive. We just drove around the town and listened to music, I was pretty much silent for the entire time. We ended up pulling up at the carpark in front of the church. I was tired, tired of just surviving for the last 2 and a half years. Tired of going out everyday and putting on a mask to my friends and family that I was fine while I was waiting for things to get better. In the months after losing my sister and brother I was overwhelmed with the support I got from my friends, but after a while, the world around me went back to normal while the world inside me didn’t and even though it’s difficult you’re expected to just go out into the world and function again. I started to believe I really wasn’t going to feel better again and began thinking about the real life implications of taking my own life, the effect it would have on my parents and on my friends, would they understand.
We just sat in the carpark and listened to the same mix cd he always had. He asked me what was going on and I just shrugged. I was afraid to talk because saying it out loud made it real and that thought genuinely terrified me. So we just sat there in silence for a long time. We talked about the last couple of years and eventually I told him that I don’t think I’m supposed to stick around too long, and He knew what I meant.
Telling someone didn’t make the feeling go away, I still felt like noone really understood the world I was in, but looking back - that night and saying those words was the single biggest step I ever took towards getting my life back. I knew now that I wasn’t alone. There was at least someone out there that knew I was in this position. It also allowed me to see the situation from another angle and and that there was a way to eventually get out of it.
Some things and some feelings feel like they’re too big to be put into words, and as a man it can sometimes feel pointless to even talk about things that there isn’t an obvious solution to. Opening up about the thoughts I was having really saved me so if you’re in this place, telling someone you trust really helps. - เพลง
I never leave comments on anything but I had to for this..absolute masterpiece 👌 only a handful of songs give me goosebumps, this is now one
Having been lucky enough to see Moncrieff at one of his first ever shows when he opened for Walking On Cars in the Forum back in 2019, it was clear from his lyrics that he had been through alot.
This song Talk, about the first time he ever talked about the fact that he was having suicidal thoughts. Being someone who has battled their own mental health demons, seen friends both battle and currently battling demons of their own, this song seriously hits home hard. Never mind that in my home town Derry, unfortunately it's almost impossible to meet someone who hasn't been effected in one way or another by mental health or addiction issues unfortunately leading to at times someone taking their own life.
I'd urge everybody battling or not to give this song a listen, and if you are battling try and reach out and talk to someone be it a friend, family or professional. It may be hard to talk about initially but it's a massive step in the right direction and towards a healthy recover.
Remember it's Ok, Not to be Ok.
💯💯
After failing a one and only attempt i went home, i was living with my sisters at the time. the walk back i felt like i was feeling before a failure again, i went into the sitting sat down put on tv like i would normally and stare blankly at it, then my sister spoke a few simple words "was i okay" i looked at her and just broke down. i was done with carrying this heavy burden on my own i needed my family, i needed help.. there is still the tough days and the silent on my own days.. i've learned to cope with them better, my best release is just taking a deep breath and letting it go and resetting myself to put one foot in front of the other. i've never gone that deep again, so thankful everyday or every other day brings around moment that i so grateful experience. everyone has great moments in their future may not be tomorrow or this week, time is the greatest healer, just take one second to let yourself release and reset for the next step forward.
Men, this song is so f*king emotional and relatable. He said some of the problem we face. This is peaceful
Saw Moncrieff at a gig in Dolans in Limerick city last night ....such an amazing singer and live performers!!!! His emotions while singing are raw . A pure talent...rising Irish star 🌟 🤩
theirs always someone that will listen, it may be hard but theirs nothing more important than your life.
These lyrics and the story behind them are so sad, and at the same time the song is an absolute masterpiece. It is a song that brings out all the emotions in me and reminds me that I / that no one who has to deal with mental illness is alone, even when sometimes it feels like we are.
“Cause I’ve been through hell & I found my way out.” I felt this. You give me hope that I might find my way out too. 💕
I am a mother,it's Hard to hear this. You are a wonderfull Person and so amazing
So many emotions, what moved me was if I don't believe in God...... I found God and the way I am going with him now made my life easier.... He watches over me and He cares about, cause He loves me..... Maybe someday you write about praise God....
Dear Chris, on November 10th my family and I went to see The Script in Munich, not knowing who the pre-act would be and I got overwhelmed by your music! Especially your song Talk deeply affected me.
After the concert I searched for your music online and came across this video of Talk. - I was not able to hold back my tears.
Having seen you in Munich with this radiating smile when my daughter had a photo taken with you and then seeing you in this video, so devastated, in despair, so sad, it really cut into my heart and soul. Yet, I prefer this video to the official one as it shows the cruel truth without distraction by any surroundings. It is purer and more honest. It is also brave to show yourself to the public so vulnerable. Thank you for sharing this!
I know the demons you are singing about quite well myself and know that they never fully go away. Please don’t give up! Keep fighting them back! Keep talking, writing music and singing!
We would love to have you back in Munich soon. We will be here supporting you!
Hello Sir, we just heard you yesterday for you’re awesome The Script first part, and i would like to tell you thank you for shared émotions and voice. Have great musical travel :)
Wow. Just discovered you. I'm happy that I found you. Love this song. New subbie and fan 😊💕
You've found a way to turn the black dog into something beautiful, like this song. It's valuable to people. Keep talking. You're needed.
I don’t know why but this song makes me feel a little less alone and like finally someone else felt the same way
Saw an advert of this on german television yesterday. I feel as if you've ripped out a part of my soul, you had me crying. I've been there myself... thank you for sharing like this.
I think a lot more people need to see this and understand the message that it's never a bad idea to talk.
struggling in life at the moment and this is just to powerful. speak up no matter what their is always someone there for you. much love to you all
Love love him ! Thank you for this it’s so beautiful and so are u . Love from Nottingham
Wonderful
I admire you for your courage and your incredible voice and expression
Moncrieff .. you have a gift… you have a VOICE THAT NEEDS TO BE HEARD‼️🙏🏻♥️💔
Absolutely underrated artist!
That's for sure, he is an amazing artist
I just want to let you know. You helped me feel less alone. The amount of emotions that I feel when I listen to this. I feel you. I know I'm not alone. Thank you.
I know this is a long shot but do you think you would be interested in singing a song I am writing? Thanks. Love your voice so much.
It's very touching. Incredibly beautiful 💕🦋
I'm sorry there are so many people that can relate to this song but it's somewhat reassuring to not feel alone in feeling this way. 😕 I'm sorry for all you've been through Moncrieff and appreciate how raw, brave and beautiful this video and song is.
Sending much love and stay strong. 💪 ❤ Your fans are (always and forever) here for you. Xxxxxx
Really sorry hearing about those feelings. You went through a lot, and I can understand your pain, as so have I, Literally having goosebumps reading these words and listining to your song, which BTW it's another master piece. Just wish that you are in a much better place right now and this feeling it's only part of your past.
Hi Chris. Its very brave that you shared your feelings. I have been in that place and got to the other side. Like the title of your song. First step is to talk. Being so open will have helped a lot of people who are in that place. Wishing you all the best. We lived next door to each other years ago xx
Good decision. I have listened to.
Great ! 👍👍👍🥰
I'm sending all the love to you I have in my heart. It's beautiful.
Thank you 🖤🖤
This hits so hard. Disappointed that it's not on Spotify! This would be on replay constantly

Stunning. I've been there too and I am so proud of anyone who fights this battle and doesn't give up. Thanks for this beautiful and meaningful song ❤️
So emotional, so sorry to hear how you've been feeling, but thanks for sharing this

Absolutely blown away by your voice.. OMG..... Have Talk and Warm on replay all day..Big things are on the Horizon ...🇮🇪.... Can't wait for the stadium concert !!!!
Thanks for sharing this Chris!
My son loves this singer. Whenever he does his sport in our basement, you can hear the music throughout the house. Through his hard studies, Moncrieff's songs have always given him support. Thanks for that! We're going to a concert together in Munich to celebrate his graduation❤
Wow, just came across this song. These words are amazing and hopefully may help anyone who needs to "Talk"..
Phew you're killing me 😉
so much deeply sad feelings... it's overwhelming!
An insanely great song!
One hears, sees and feels your pain!
It's impossible to get over such a loss, it just gets easier to live with over time... the pain keeps catching up with you from time to time.
You have an amazing gift of putting your feelings into lyrics, singing them with your incredible vocal color, and giving you an outlet to sing and scream out your pain! Your friends and also your fans will hear you♥
This is translated from German, I hope it is understandable.
Hopefully you'll be near Munich with a concert, I'm sure I'll be there! The one who then cries like a waterfall during this song, is me.☺️
Wow! Chris! You’ve been through so much
I think you are gifted. You have an absolutely incredible voice. It would be a shame not to share with the world.
I can not stop listening to this amazing guys songs. They hit in the right place and are so relatable. Keep reaching for the stars and I’ll keep belting them out in the shower ❤❤❤❤
The lyrics the rawness of this song astounds me. And its not just thos song. How you are not more well known i honestly dont understand.
Thank you for this song it helped about 3 weeks ago when I heard the first portion on Tiktok sitting over looking a lake wanting to end it all but you helped me realise it was time to talk
Heard this song for the first time ever this morning and omg what an amazing song, the lyrics and vocals are absolutely awesome...the emotion in your voice says it all...absolutely fantastic 🥰
Super Song 🎉
That song touches my heart😢! Please stay well and make good music for us fans❤
This song is absolutely amazing ❤
Such an amazing,raw, beautiful soul and your voice. Goosebumps 🥰
You're such a strong person. I don't know anybody who's been so open and would show himself so vulnerable. I envy that. Never forget that you can have a beautiful life if you want, and never forget that you are worth be living.
Usually I don't leave comments on this platform, so please appreciate that ;).
Just seeing this-new fan-as a mom who has been there with her son, and who has been there herself-I promise you, this?
This.will.save.lives. THANK YOU!!!
Loved your music this song so real sadly I have to accept. I was ther in Manchester pink room in December loved it all the best
A musical genius ❤ your work Is incredible. Love your new song want you more and also love somebody. 🤩
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing.
Grief is tough bc we feel okay until we don’t and then we move through it again.
*Holy shit ! This is beautiful ! You are a fighter, a warrior ! The best things in those situations is to take that pain and turn into something bigger than you, something that can help a lot of people and maybe somehow heal them. Thank you for your sharing Moncrieff. God bless you !*
I've been listening to this on repeat on tik tok since it was posted and now im sobbing even more
I was 16ys old wasn't the first time I thought about it, but was when I finally decided I had to do it, what you sang about its exactly how I felt and have felt so many times, not being controversial and I respect others beliefs but I'm grateful I found my way to my God, to my Father the only one I know... Is not that I never felt again the same way, or never thought of ending it all again but did find meaning to my life. Real masterpiece this song thank you!
Wow. This is raw and powerful. I just accidentally discovered this singer today and so far boy am I impressed. At first he sounded a lot like Emili Sande to me. I want to hear more!
Amazing song 🖤 🖤 🖤
the lyrics are heavy but the feeling and the way you sing it is wonderful. These thoughts are bad but I think everyone has had them before. good that you sing it out but no you are such a good singer don't give up life is so beautiful. I like the song despite everything.
Just Phenomenal!!
Such an honest way of expressing oneself. With my own personal diagnosis, aka label, whatever. I choose written word, as a therapeutic way of releasing. But you do a better job of it. Keep the faith.
Ihm speechless, such a powerful voice
Incredibly powerful! Thank you for sharing this. ❤️
Amazing song I've felt that way more than I care to remember but amazingly ive friends who always catch me when I fall and always see the signs when I'm at my lowest and get me through. To hear you sing about those feelings is so freeing for anyone who feels that way. Sometimes despair and rock bottom can feel so lonely so it's uplifting to know that we are not alone even in our darkest moment thank you for being so honest and open about a subject people so willingly avoid, it gives hope and freedom to those that feel so alone and trapped.x
This touched my soul like nothing before. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift and your incredibly powerful message. ❤️ RIP Ray. I miss you everyday.
I already know this song is bouta get me through so much. Thank you
Such a powerful and meaningful song and what a beautiful voice you have . God bless you youre fantastic x
