A still from the music video "Goodbye Misery" GOODBYE MISERY Heres the song! https://vimeo.com/62614403 Heres the song! The music video The lyrics https://blackgrey.bandcamp.com/track/goodbye-misery 1-800-273-8255 written by LOGIC is a fairly new and popular song about the process of overcomming depression and suicidal thoughts. The name of the song itself is Canada's notional suicide prevention line, and spreads awareness to the all too common illness of depression. While Goodbye Misery talks about suicide, it talks of one way the situation could go. The much sadder, darker way. On the other hand, 1-800-273-8255 tells the tale of what happens on the other side of the coin and the person gets better. In the end, both of these song make us feel like they have definatly done thier job to promote mental health awarness. 1-800-273-8255 1-800-273-8255 https://genius.com/Logic-1-800-273-8255-lyrics Heres the song!
