The singer Sarah Connor knows the “darkness of thoughts”. She also addresses depression in one of her songs, because she suffered from it as a teenager.
Singer Sarah Connor (41) would like society to have more empathy in dealing with the subject of depression.
«It is not a disease that you can see from the outside. You feel alone, lonely, isolated and split off from the rest of society, “said Connor of the German press agency. “It takes sensitivity and careful observation to even notice that someone in your own environment is not doing so well.”
In her ballad «Stark», the musician addresses the issue from the perspective of a depressed person’s caregiver. She herself encouraged someone from her environment in such phases. “It’s often a vicious circle: you listen, talk, give attention, love, attention and time, you worry and hope, but in the end you never know whether you will even get to the person and help.”
She also had to deal with depression as a teenager and knew the “darkness of thoughts”, Connor continued. “I myself still have a little panic attack here and there, we’re old friends. This can happen while driving, when I’m walking my dogs in the forest or when I’m on stage. I’ve come to terms with it, I think I’ll have to do with it all my life. “
The 41-year-old, who has just recovered from corona, released a new edition of her album “Herz Kraft Werke” from 2019 this Friday, which includes five other new songs in addition to “Stark”.
