SONGS INSPIRED BY MENTAL & EMOTIONAL HEALTH STRUGGLES...

T.J.ECLEBURG + NICKK X ALPHA KINETIK - BRAIN NOISE

"The song Brain Noise has been created using the lyrical writings of contributors to The Noisy Brain.

Mental Health is very close to my heart and it has been an absolute pleasure to have been part of this.

Voluntary organisations like The Noisy Brain + HEAVY METAL THERAPY are vital to support, these guys give up their own time to help others. So we need to help them." - ALPHA KINETIK (musician)

KIM + STU X M.I.STAPES - HOLD FAST

"My brain is super noisy. I barely know anything about mental health and have quietly fought battles alone all my life. Only since Covid changed the world have I become more aware of the importance of mental health awareness for mental health. We're all in this world together! So, I loved The Noisy Brain project as soon as I saw the name and the yellow colour. Love that. I had a great time working on my song "Hold Fast" for this collaboration. I learned a lot about myself and the shared struggles of others.”

- Malleus Incus Stapes (musician)

NickK X JULIETTE LOUISE - WARDS FAVOURITE THINGS

"The perils of being on a mental health ward

(I think, in some cases, such wards make things worse),

Set to the tune of My Favourite Things."

- NickK (community member & contributing writer)

DYLAN WRIGHT x STU - LOOKING FOR [DEMO]

Kind words from Dylan about THE NOISY BRAIN and the original submitted Writing - Kintsugi:
"I'm really excited about this project you have created. Music is such an incredible tool. I don’t know where I would be without it. Such a great idea of a project. I’ve always loved the idea of Kintsugi. It was a really powerful poem, hopefully I did it justice, obviously I did use a bit of creative license and put some words in of my own."

- Dylan Wright (Musician & Australian Idol Winner 2024)

NickK x JESSICA MAGOCH - DESOULED

"This is possibly too dark for a song, but I'll submit it and see what you think... This was written about a year after I came out of hospital (mental health unit in Surrey) and I was frustrated as I felt nothing much had changed, and I was on all these meds, which were sapping my soul - killing my personality. It's pretty raw, but it's the truth." - NickK

STU x TAMARA JENNA - RUN & HIDE

"After being set up in a Leicester Square mass bag snatch. I have often thought how I was singled out as the 'patsy' for this particular bag heist. Was I singled out? Did they know I was easy pickings? Did they see me as a vulnerable victim? Maybe. Or maybe I’m overthinking everything again. Yep, probably. Kinda written from the situation unfolding. So, a cross between the thieving bastards and my POV ?" - STU

NickK x TOBI NONSENSE X REN FAYE - RED KITE

"Another metaphor for the struggle that is depression. I thought of a walk I went on, in north Wales, where I was headed up a mountain/hill and suddenly the weather took a turn for the worse. I was ill prepared (not coat, jeans) and every step seemed to take an eternity and/or result in pain. This, to me, is what depression is like." - NickK

NickK x MAKS DIVINE x MONOPOLY LOSER - NOTHING

"I'm fascinated by the idea of nothing, as there's no such thing - nothing has to be something. Whether it's imagined as darkness, pure white, or transparency, that's still something. So, can nothing really exist?" - NickK

STU x SUNA X YUMI - ALIVE [DEMO]

"Written after another mental health episode, I'd caused those around me a lot of hurt. But thanks to their support, I’m in a better place, dealing with my issues and doing something extremely rewarding and worthwhile." - Stu

STU x REUBEN - SWAPPING PLACES [DEMO]

This writing is about a world where it should be seen as a strength when you can say, "I need help". - STU

STU X EUGENE - TO KNOW THINGS [DEMO]

In late 2020, Eugene teamed up with The Noisy Brain for this simple 60's vibed arrangement of one of Stu's submitted writings - ‘To know things’

STU x LAUREN MAY - BROKEN MEN [DEMO]

This song recognises that in life we need support. It’s about love that pulls you through the tough times.
