The amazing song (This Song Is About Mental Health) is by Dan Matthews or DANakaDAN. Please check out his channel and the original video. The MV for this is so powerful, it made me tear up.

EXPLANATION OF MY VIDEO:

At the beginning of the video, there is no filter, everything is clear. Jisung (a member of Stray Kids) is seen looking at a camera and then it glitches and shows the boys happy, doing things they enjoy. Then a filter covers the rest of the clips until the end. The filter has lines going across the screen to show that it’s through the lens of a camera. The end of the video is where the filter disappears, it’s when the camera is on the ground and they’re walking past it, to the outside where they’re finally free.

The camera is there symbolize the mental disorder, anxiety. With anxiety, someone constantly feels as if they’re being judged, that every little thing they do will be ridiculed.

The glitches in the video show that a person with a mental disorder is different, they aren’t a smooth video, they’re one that thinks and acts differently. They gradually get worse throughout the video but at the end, they walk past the camera and the glitches and filer is gone to show that your mental disorder isn’t your whole life, it’s not who you are.

Towards the end, there is a part where there are happy clips mixed in with the dark clips. “It gets louder now” is the lyrics for this part and it shows that they’re trying to break away but its so hard when your disorder is taking over.

You feel like the world is crumbling, and everything is going so fast when you’re not in control of your own thoughts.

The point of my video is to show that no matter what happens you can get through it. That there are always people who care about you and want you to get better and be happy. In the video, you can see that Stray Kids (The group) are there for each other, even if they don’t want them all the time they never give up on each other. You have people in your life like that too, even if it doesn’t feel like it. You don’t have to go through this alone.

However feel free to interpret it any way you like.

You aren’t alone.

We spend our entire lives longing for love and acceptance, but what happens when you feel like there is something inherently about you that just doesn’t fit in? This week, we are joined by our incredibly enthusiastic community leader, Dan Matthews. He speaks about his experience growing up in an adopted Caucasian family and what it took to build a career in the Asian American community that he wasn’t introduced to until much later in life. We share our struggles with acceptance and the steps we took to love ourselves. Link in bio 🎧 • Thank you @danakadan for opening up and sharing your honest truths. The community is better with you in it and we are so excited to watch you succeed. Congrats on your new album!! • #perfectlyimperfect #perfectlyimperfectpodcast #danmatthews #danakadan #escapeLA #podcast (at Old San Juan P.R)

DANakaDAN premieres anthemic "Runners" with Dia Frampton (Song Review)

DANakaDAN premieres anthemic “Runners” with Dia Frampton (Song Review)

Korean American hip hop artist DANakaDAN (Dan Matthews) dropped a new single with my favorite singer-songwriter Dia Frampton — and it’s infectious.

Matthews’ new track “Runners” comes off his upcoming album Escape From L.A., set to drop later this month.

The track feels anthemic and empowering. The smooth drumbeat played to a piano riff under his strong rap is catchy as Frampton’s voice echoes in…

But we are on a quest for something greater then we know It’s often a battle of man vs the fear of the unknown When the concept of home, is a construct that’s grown From meaning where you live to sometimes life alone And for me that line is blurring like each day Fighting even harder now to hold on to my faith Barely recognizing when I’m looking at my face But that’s the life I’ve chosen as I’m searching for my place, and at my pace

Dan aka Dan “Runners” ft. Priska; Escape from LA
