Frightened Rabbit - Painting of a Panic Attack (2016) Album • Page 20

I need to listen to the mastersystem album. I had completely skipped over painting of a panic attack but it's so good

 

I didn't even realize he had a side project until yesterday. It's a very good record. It has a lo-fi type sound to it. Some of the lyrics absolutely wrecked me though like in "A Waste Of Daylight"

I missed the summer but didn't care
There will always be another, if I make it to next year

 

Even in "Proper Home"

If the curtain dropped tomorrow
I wouldn't mind

 

So fucking heartbroken over this. Scott's music has meant a lot to me and in particular the bravery and frankness which he has always touched on mental health and depression. As painful as I'm finding it today, his music has lifted me through some dark periods and has brought me great joy in better times. RIP, Scott.

 

Reading through this thread has been... deeply encouraging. That's a funny thing to say, but as someone who's dealing with major depression that's making daily activities incredibly difficult, it's heartwarming to know I'm not alone in these things. I think the biggest lie of depression, and the one that has really made death seductive, is the lie that I'm all alone in this. Reading stories that are almost word for word what I'm feeling is huge. None of us are freaks.

 

everything seems to be moving in slow motion. I'm still numb, drained, brokenhearted. I don't know how I can ever fully come to terms with this but I'm just going to have to try. r.i.p. Scott Hutchison - for me you were the best songwriter of this generation.

I love everyone in this thread. tomorrow is day one. goodnight.

 

Frank Turner did a cover of 'The Modern Leper' at his gig tonight - a good friend of Scott and clearly as affected by his death as the rest of us

Sat here watching all the live performances I didn't appreciate whilst he was alive and feeling guilty for it

 

That picture of him walking through the hotel lobby is heartbreaking.

Lucas27, you are not alone. And the world is a better place for having you in it.

 

We're all here for you

 

Thank you guys. That goes two ways. Much love.

 

Bird is Bored of Flying is way worse.

 

...I'm so heartbroken over this. FR, along with TN, have been my "tell as many people as possible" band since 2008.

Scott's lyrics have stunned me ever since. Poke changed my life, I look at breakups so much more meaningfully now and with more common sense than "I hate her, for no reason".

I wish he had known how many "tiny changes" he in fact made though his art and music.

Floating In The Forth destroyed me today, almost parked along side the road.

 

I haven't played their music at all the last few days - I think it's been too raw and emotional, especially given how some of their lyrics are and how they hit me so hard. I think I'm gonna try to do a full play through of their discography tomorrow though in honor.

 

I’ve felt the same way reading through all of this today. There’s been a strange comfort in reading everyone’s comments and listening through Scott’s discography today. Never was a massive FR fan but they’ve been a band that I’ve always turned to when I haven’t been in a good place. This news came at the end of a pretty bad week for me. For a good part of the morning I was totally devastated and couldn’t even focus on working. Reading through all of the encouraging thoughts in this thread has really helped me to realize I’m not the only one who is hurting. I’m not alone in fighting a constant battle against depression. I just want to say thank you to everyone who has tried to shine some light on what’s been a pretty dark day.

I feel sick for Scott’s family and friends and wish them peace and comfort in what I’m sure is going to be a long road ahead. I hope it gives them some small level of solace knowing how much Scott meant to so many people around the world.

 

This has really effected me in ways I wouldn't expect... I don't have the strong connection that others may have to Scott, but I understand that connection with Art, there are innumerable artists of great importance to me that have saved me from the darkest throes of my depression


Seeing an artist who had struggled and shared that so plainly with his fans, who had saved them from their demons ultimately succumbing to his own. It's extremely saddening. It's easy to feel so hopeless.


But we can hang onto the impact he had on others, we can bear some vestige of hope to light our way through that darkness.

 

I remember the first time i heard Fast Blood, track five on a mix cd a barista made for me during my senior year of high school, i was driving through rural southwest Ohio. It felt like getting hit by lightening, i punched the roof of my car, it got me so amped up lol and there have been so many moments sense where it was a plug in the drain for me when i was feeling low, and the four times i got to see them live and how rewarding it was to yell and mutter those songs in a crowd full of people. Scott made it so, so, so easy to feel like it was alright when you were struggling, and to celebrate when you were doing better, and, most importantly, to find a community in hurt, which is the single greatest thing i can say about a songwriter, i think.

 

I'm pretty sure I got into them from a mix @George made back on AP so thanks for that. One of the best discoveries I made on that site.

 

The Frank Turner cover from last night is incredible.

 

didn't really hit me until I listened to MOF this morning. so many lyrics that comforted me in my youth are comforting me in a much more real way now. rest in power

 

This was already going to be a bad weekend for me, being the first mother's day without my mom. I can't seem to make myself listen to anything but their music atm because it's somehow as comforting as it is upsetting. Hope everyone is doing okay.

 

Glad I could have been of service!

 

It’s unfortunate to do this under such circumstances but I strongly urge anyone who hasn’t heard this band, or Scott’s other bands, to check them out and maybe even purchase them. Lots of great music, particularly the last few Frightened Rabbit releases. Also deep dive into the EPs, loose tracks, and bonus tracks because there’s a lot of good material there.

I’ve been listening to PV a good bit today. It hurts but it’s such a well crafted album and such a testament to how strong Scott’s songwriting was.

 

Been exploring their EP's and one-off releases more and you're right, they're good. Had not given them proper attention until the last few days.

 

Any Scott is good Scott.

He was an unbelievable collaborator as well.
