about

Sweet Comfort for the Soul was the winning song from last years mental health competition style project. All music was written by Midlands band Refuge and winning Lyrics were from Georgina Wakefield from Essex. The artwork was crrated by Joe Hall who designed the winning artwork for last years competition. Joe Hall is a campaigner and aspiring artivist interested in using art and creativity to unlock social causes. He is
inspired by Rethink Your Mind having personally been affected by
challenges with his own mental health as well as friends' and
families'. The cover image symbolises a tortured but healing soul,
inspired by the idea of sweet comfort in the song. You can see more
of Joe's work, including previous cover art for Refuge in the
beginnings of Rethink Your Mind, at www.woohooyeahyeah.org
The track has been re-released as a free gift to celebrate the launch of the rethinkyourmind project. The track has been recorded with live string quartet the SuperStrings

lyrics

Lyrics by Georgina Wakefield
Essex

Have you ever stopped to imagine
What it feels like to lose your mind?
Instead of receiving compassion
People can be so unkind

Have you ever stopped to consider
What it’s like to be given a label
You lose your friends you lose your job
You struggle each day to stay stable

Have you ever stopped to imagine
What it’s like to lose your own self
Never mind big houses and big cars
Most important of all is your health

Have you ever stopped to consider
What it’s like to be isolated
The pain of all those that suffer
Is seriously under rated

Only you can create sweet comfort for the soul
With acceptance we can begin to heal the heart
Only you can create sweet comfort for the soul
With acceptance we can begin to heal the heart

Have you ever stopped to imagine
What it’s like without love and passion
You see old friends out with their partners
But normality for you is on ration

Just take some time out to imagine
That you struggle to reach every goal
Put yourself in others’ shoes and
Create sweet comfort for the soul

Only you can create sweet comfort for the soul
With acceptance we can begin to heal the heart
Only you can create sweet comfort for the soul
With acceptance we can begin to heal the heart
