Living with Depression english ver. 【Oktavia】憂鬱と生きる【英語で歌ってみた】

Описание: PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE go support Yanaga Miyuki! They’re an amazingly talented producer who in my opinion doesn’t get the fame they deserve. Unfortunately they don’t have an official YouTube channel but you can follow them on Twitter here! (  / yanagamiyuki  )

And also I encourage you, if you are a Youtaite/Utaite, to perhaps look into covering this song? In whatever language you like (I nearly sung this in Japanese but then I realized how embarrassing my Japanese is still... haha...). I want to see if we can get a lot more covers for this song, and also other songs by Yanaga MIyuki! (Living with Depression inst: http://piapro.jp/t/7ouO .

Hi everyone! Sorry about the lack of activity, but September is my slow month. At this point college is starting to pile on the work and tests, so I have to prioritize them over covers, even if I really wish I didn’t have to. Also I briefly caught a cold again this month because of course I did. I’ll attempt to release another cover this month, but definitely no promises as it might be too hard to find the time to record another song before the month is up.

Anyway, things actually managed to line up in a sense for this song. This month is Suicide Prevention Month so I wanted to do a cover that would maybe speak to those struggling with depression and thoughts of no longer wanting to live. It’s a song that has honestly captured my heart. I mean, every time I get to the “Kimi ga ite/You are here” part I get very teary eyed because yes, I am here, and so are you. Despite everything else.

If I’m honest, and I will be honest for a moment here because this song just really makes me emotional. Depression isn’t really something that goes away- it’s like an annoying free loader you sort of just have to live with. I’m doing much much better right now myself, but it wasn’t very long ago I was in high school and made a very rash decision. I’m glad that I was stopped because now the idea of ever doing anything like that seems silly. Especially because now I have something to look forward to- seeing all the support, kindness and friendship from this community.

I know I can’t speak for everyone and I know I don’t know what’s going on in your life. But I hope you can at least find some comfort in this amazing song.
