When chemistry meets love, magic happens.

NB4X ~ Soul Chemistry (mixed by K.O.D)

As a child growing up in Liverpool during the eighties, I witnessed first hand the struggles people had to endure because of the government’s neglect of our city. The government got away with neglecting its children, whilst Yosser and no doubt many like him had theirs taken away.

Yosser Hughes, the fictional character from Alan Bleasdale's incredible television series 'Boys from the Blackstuff', depicted a single father unable to find work whilst trying to look after his three children. 

The perception of Yosser back then, and probably still now is that he was a crazy, weak, and dangerous person. The reality though, is that Yosser’s behaviour was fuelled by many factors, not just povery, lack of work, and a broken relationship that we witness on screen.

Mental health awareness was zilch back then and most men today like Yosser find it impossible to talk about their struggles in life. This is largely due to the stigma of being perceived as weak. The only person he felt that he could open up to was a priest behind a veiled confessional box, who seemingly offered no help, support or guidance.

There will have been many traumatic events in Yossers life, all as a result of a cycle of poverty and lack of support and understanding that was generationally passed down. 

Yosser struggled on with his failing mental health, but clearly his love remained for his children. He kept looking for work, feeding his children, doing the best he could with what little he had. He like many was unfortunately doomed to succeed, and yet if he had been given help and support he could have brought his children up and been there for them. His wife, like Yosser just another casualty of the continuing cycle of victims, and sadly their children next.

Anyone struggling with their mental health should break free from the societal  stigma and speak to someone. You’re only human and can’t carry that weight alone. You are not alone and It’s ok to be vulnerable, it’s what makes us human. Just please ask someone for help!

Additionally, If you know someone who may be struggling with things, ask them if they want to talk, lend your ear, normalize their worries or concerns, and encourage them to seek help and support.

Lyrics:
What's real or not I don't know
It ebbs and it flows
Mysteries of my mind, nobody knows

I take your word as truth, sing your song today

I'm confused and so are you
Fighting for a cause cuz' they told us to
Blind reason that we think is always true
Lead to dirty water but it tastes so sweet
Washed my brain I cannot sleep
It's funny that we cannot think

Take your word as truth, never understand
The game they play with our brain, It's  not OK
We always lose

When will we begin to stand and rise
And see through their, their thin disguise 

It's such a shame that it's all a game
They play with our lives
Used for their selfish gain, they have no compromise

Stand and Rise

tribute to Parliament and George Clinton
By my friend DocDaFunk
My first time singing in many years, I made up a few lines and
this is what happened.
Many thanks to my kompoz friends who played the instruments.
