Most of Top40 is simplified lyrics so that it can apply to a wide mass of people. It&#8217;s those niche bands that concentrate on certain aspects we should all be paying attention to. Just sitting their listening to their sounds, you often will get goosebumps. This is twenty one pilots. They can go from piano, to techno, then from rap to ukulele all in a matter of a few songs. And they play each genre so well, and the songs still somehow flow? After spending the last week listening to many of their songs, I&#8217;ve come to realize that they focus on recovering from mental health issues. I feel this is so important to put out there, as music is a way people deal with their emotions.<\/p>\n<p>Look back at certain situations that you went through in your life. Was their not a song that you played endlessly to get through it? And when you revisit these songs, you think about how far you&#8217;ve come.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class='youtube-player' width='662' height='373' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ktBMxkLUIwY?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;' sandbox='allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation'><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Holding on to You&#8221; deals with overcoming depression. An important song to put forth, as society does not know how to handle mental health. Look at it this way: When there&#8217;s a physical injury, we know that we should go to the doctor, it&#8217;s treatable, and you will have something <em>tangible<\/em> to fix the injury. Mental health on the other hand, cannot be seen physically, therefore people become uneasy when discussing it. It&#8217;s seen as something taboo, which should not be the case.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\">I&#8217;m taking over my body, back in control, no more shotty \/ I bet a lot of me was lost, Ts uncrossed and Is undotted \/ I fought it a lot and it seems a lot like flesh is all I got<\/span><\/h6>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class='youtube-player' width='662' height='373' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pXRviuL6vMY?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;' sandbox='allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation'><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>As you can tell from the title of the song &#8220;Stressed Out&#8221; deals with the society that we live in.
