YouTube Clip of the Week: “The Sexy Antidepressant”
Sometimes the best way to learn about and deal with any subject is to write/listen to a song about that subject. If you have depression and think that no one knows what it is you go through, then have a look at this. “The Sexy Antidepressant” by Eizolis. The song that it’s based on is called “On A Good Day” by Above and Beyond. I really like the lyrics “I’ve never, never seen the sun shine brighter/ And it feels like me on a good day.”
Warning
The type of music is “trance”, although I thought at one point it was called “dance” oir “techno”. Why don’t they notify me about these name changes music genres? (Probably because I’d be too depressed that it wasn’t Peter Gabriel contacting me to get back to them.)
There are large white credits that hang on throughout the whole video, unfortunately, but that’s a good metaphor for the symptoms of depression. It’s like going through with huge subtitles you just get rid of.
What Was This Video About?
Apparently, there was a contest held to make a video to go along with this song, to be released in February, 2009, a single from their forthcoming album Sirens of the Sea. Details are at another YouTube video clip. The contest is now closed.
I happen to like Eizolis’s version best, espcially the trippy way the chemical formultions for some major antidepressants fly across the clouds. Kind of makes them look like flowers. Which then makles you wonder what one of the subjects is wearing on her head — flowers or antidepressants?
Enjoy.
