A Therapy Session with Austin Drake
An aural depiction of a severely depressed person going through therapeutic treatment.
I'm a dude from Kansas that makes beats. Just graduated HS. I pretty much make anything that I feel, be it soft music, hard music, or anything between.
Hi guys! I'm Austin Drake, a.k.a. Phatahl. I'm a music producer from a little town called Independence, Kansas. I've been creating all kinds of music ever since my toddler brain decided to hit the record button. I'd say music is above all my biggest passion; music has helped me through a lot of tough times, tough breakups, downward spirals, etc. Through this, I realized the power of music, so I made it my personal goal to try and help people through tough times as well withmusic. I'd say my primary genre is Electronic music, but I make a wide variety of stuff.
Story behind the song
A project made in four hours for my Psychology class. The song starts with Austin Drake having a depression induced nightmare, startling him awake. A solo electric piano is heard, Austin is then heard talking to a therapist about his depression, the therapist tells him that he is OK, and gives him a mantra. The mantra carries through Austin, and he finally feels a little relief. The therapist asks how he feels after the session is over, and Austin explains that he feels a lot better than he did earlier in the day. Then the depression is heard creeping back, until it becomes alarmingly loud, indicating that Austin's struggle is far from over.
Lyrics
I find myself getting down, with every day that I'm awake.
I don't want to take another step, I don't want to take another break.
I'm just, feeling helpless, and I know that I need help.
I just need someone to be my everything, then I can have everything.
I'm here to tell you, that there is help.
There's no more need to put yourself through all this hell
Just take the steps in the right direction.
Just repeat after me:
No hate, no thought, nothing at all,
It's true, I'm with you I'm always here,
No hate, no thought, nothing at all,
It's true, I'm with you I'm always here.
(Your turn)
No hate, no thought, nothing at all,
It's true, I'm with you I'm always here,
No hate, no thought, nothing at all,
It's true, I'm with you I'm always here.
No hate, no thought, nothing at all,
It's true, I'm with you I'm always here,
No hate, no thought, nothing at all,
It's true, I'm with you I'm always here.
No hate, no thought, nothing at all,
It's true, I'm with you I'm always here,
No hate, no thought, nothing at all,
It's true, I'm with you I'm always here.
So Mr. Drake, how do you feel now that this therapy session is over.
Well, I woke up with a nightmare, I started the day gloomy, but...I can honestly say, I feel a lot better.
