I am feeling the cold and the #depression so I generally stick on a bit of Rosalia or Charli XCX's "House" when I go out at the moment, but at least there's this trying to balance it out in my recent obsessions playlist:

When my depression and anxiety kick in - I immediately stop listening to all music as I simply can’t stand it … it must be an instinctive reaction as I am never aware at the time …. and it’s usually my wife who notices that I have stopped playing music around the house

Interestingly - t’s always a lovely, uptempo , melodic song that magically pulls me out of the depression … usually a week or two later though when our son left to live in America I fell into a deep depression that lasted nearly 8 months - all that time without music !!!

Envisions good ’70s-vibes. Scooby-Doo haze. Afros, Jheri-curls, typewriters, smoky pubs (for my sins), disco, post-Biafra migratory trends for Igbos (although initial migration in Liverpool, for one, had coalesced officially since as far back as 1935) and resilient renaissance after the war, the initial imprints of maple-smoked jollof rice cooked in cast-iron pots, the lot. The shift from post-war austerity into something looser, richer (even golden) and more groovy.

It might not be venlafaxine or phenelzine exactly but it’s got a similar groove. It’s a song that can curb the liminal melancholy (boredom, in plain English) of Sundays.
