Q&A: Fears discusses mental health, self-harm, and her new song “two_”
“I feel incredibly lucky that I have something like music to put my energy into because it gives me a place to put the emotions I am feeling. Whether I decide to release it or not is a whole other thing, but to be able to record the thoughts you’re having in a creative way has helped me immensely. When I was in hospital, there was a music room, and I would go and just sit there alone and remind myself how to create for the sake of creating, as opposed to worrying if other people are going to like it.”
Northern Irish songwriter Fears put out her new song “two_” as part of NI Mental Health Arts Festival. I decided to ask her some questions about her work, which you can read over on Beats Per Minute.
