this is a pretty popular song going around recently. While i normally dislike rap/ whatever kind of music this is, i found the lyrics and the video to be very deep. the song is about the feeling we all get of wanting to kill ourselves and hating existing, but then the lyrics take a turn to the prospective of a suicide hot line worker. the lyrics then go on to say how you should be alive, and the next verse turns into the suicidal guy saying he wants to be alive. what i found particularly interesting about this song is the way it was able to reach people through music that normal advice and talking could not. what i mean by this is that while everyone always says don't kill your self, it clearly doesn't work. however after this songs release, calls to the suicide hot line went up significantly. is this just because people now know the number to the hot line, as the title of the song is that number, or because the song was able to connect with people in a way that others could not. i like to think it is the latter of the two. it is truly amazing the way music can be used in therapeutic ways
