Haven't see anyone mention it, but Jake, the vocalist, is a licensed therapist. He wrote Citizen Soldier's first song while he was in rehab after trying to take his own life. From there he got his license to provide therapy to others, and a lot of Citizen Soldier's songs come from either his own experience or the experience of his patients.
I actually got to see them about a month ago and the singer is now a mental health therapist and he was in a mental hospital himself too and has the band touring with his beautiful message ❤
Thanks for this! Most of their songs resonate with me… especially this one. Like you I have depression. However, mine stems from a lifetime of masking my severe ADHD. I feel best when I can be my quirky self. Unfortunately my truest form is too much for my family. (Hence masking since childhood). You are right… it very much sucks. We learn to adapt and find friends that accept and love us for who we are, but very few truly understand. 🧸
You really need to come and have some fun on the discord! A few have mentioned statements so very similar to the one you have commented here. I think you'd be surprised of how uplifting it is over there 😂Rule #1 Always be yourself! We champion that around here and we never discriminate about the Art of Music 💜🧸
@@JohnnyFoxtrotshow I took a little break from You Tube/ socials. I am back now and will absolutely head to Discord (once I catch up on all the reactions I’ve missed)
Definite Nickelback lite vibes musically. Powerful message. 🧸
"Nickelback lite" 😭🧸
