Stephen Gawking comments on the track
“‘Demons and Disorders’ is a musical exploration of the profound and often perplexing concept of depression. It serves as a platform for introspection and challenges us to ponder the age-old question: What is depression? Is it a scientific problem, or does it have spiritual dimensions?”
“The song’s core meaning is rooted in the intricate and multifaceted nature of depression. It intentionally refrains from providing a definitive answer to the scientific vs. spiritual question, instead encouraging listeners to embark on a deeply introspective journey.”
“The title, ‘Demons and Disorders,’ hints at the duality within depression, symbolizing both the internal struggles and the external perceptions that often accompany it. At its heart, ‘Demons and Disorders’ seeks to challenge the stigma surrounding mental health by advocating for a more profound examination of the subject. It highlights that depression cannot be reduced to a simple binary explanation but rather represents a complex interplay of scientific, psychological, and spiritual elements.”
“The song serves as a reminder that understanding and compassion are vital when dealing with this intricate issue, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. My goal with this song is to foster a more open and empathetic conversation about mental health.”
“Through my music, I aim to provoke thought and discussion, encouraging the audience to reflect on their own perspectives and experiences with depression. Ultimately, ‘Demons and Disorders’ invites a broader appreciation of the multifaceted nature of this critical issue and the need for a compassionate and inclusive approach.”
