Songs To Inspire You: 'Tender', by Blur
As part of our Now We're Talking special issue, we share songs from artists who have talked - sung - through their mental health issues and shared their burdens.
Written in the aftermath of Damon Albarn’s break-up with his girlfriend, ex-Elastic singer Justine Frischmann, ‘Tender’ articulates the savage pain of a broken heart (“Tender is my heart / I’m screwing up my life”) before a euphoric gospel chorus urges defiant positivity ("Come on, come one, come get through it / Love’s the greatest thing that we have”).
Now We're Talking 2019
A partnership between Lyons Tea, Pieta House & Hot Press.
Let’s break the stigma and take the dialogue about mental health issues onto a new level
