Nachdem bereits Neck Deep den Song „Torn“ (News) als Cover für die
Mental-Health-Benefiz-Compilation „Songs That Saved My Life“ veröffentlichten, rücken Against Me! nun nach und präsentieren ihre ganz eigene Version des Klassikers „People Who Died“.
I’ve always thought music was about taking all the sadness, pain, fear and trouble that you have weighing on you and turning it into something empowering, celebratory and life-affirming.
Hopeless Records nehmen die Themen seelische Gesundheit und Suizidalität ernst
Laura Jane Grace berichtet über die Entscheidung zu „People Who Died“ :
„Choosing to cover a song that is filled with death to be featured on a compilation dedicated to the thought that music can save your life seemed completely fitting to me. I’ve always thought music was about taking all the sadness, pain, fear and trouble that you have weighing on you and turning it into something empowering, celebratory and life-affirming.“
Seelische Gesundheit ist ein Thema, das viel enger an der Musikwelt hängt, als sich viele vorstellen können – viel wichtiger ist es aber, dass es ein Thema ist, das auch außerhalb von Musik und Lifestyle brandaktuell, aber oftmals leider noch viel zu sehr tabuisiert ist.
