    "It’s a real thing. It’s a real thought. It’s a thought that I’ve taken to a place that I’m far less comfortable with… I’ve gone 90 percent of the way through that song in real life. But at the same time it’s gratifying. It’s heartening to know that I’ve been through that, and I’m stood there performing that song, alive and feeling good about it. It’s a tough one. My mum and dad were at the show in Glasgow. We can joke about it, but it must be really hard to hear your son sing about that." Scott (from interview with Vice, published May 4th 2018, 5 days before his passing).

    One year has now passed, and I still can't quite put into words the way this man impacted my life. His words were heard by many of us around the world, and impacted us all, some of us maybe in more ways than other. Whether you were a casual FR fan, or someone who followed everything the band did, listened to every song they ever recorded or performed live multiple times, or only heard a few songs; I hope that today is a day of peace for all fans around the world. I am immensely thankful to Grant and the Hutchison family for launching their mental health awareness campaign, and I hope that we can all continue to make tiny changes to this earth, as I'm sure Scott would have wanted us to. Rest in peace Scott, I know there was a boat in the port for you.

      He and Jason Molina were the most devastating deaths of my relatively young life. It's never fun when an older musician dies, don't get me wrong, but those two died way too young.

    Just reading through the comments here has me in tears. Scott, you were so brave for so long. You gave hope and help for an uncountable amount of people. You had the courage to put your problems out to this, for the most part, uncomprehending world. I'm more thankful than I can express that your art fell upon mine, and so many others understanding and empathic ears (as is clear from every fightened rabbit songs comment section) and gave genuine help to us, when we felt like we couldnt carry on.
    Alot of people think suicide is the cowards way out. That is such fucking bullshit that I can hardly begin to speak upon it. Depression is a serious, and tragically, often terminal disease. Who the fuck would choose it? When people get to such a point that they are ready to end it all, it means that the pain has become too much, too brutal and too incessant, that there can be only one way out. Analogous to other physically terminal diseases, where euthanasia is an end to the pain.
    After his death was confirmed, Scott's bandmates were quoted as saying "“There are no words to describe the overwhelming sadness and pain that comes with the death of our beloved Scott, but to know he is no longer suffering brings us some comfort.". When I read that, I cried for days and still do whenever I think about it. The sheer complete understanding they had for Scott and his pain is the most beautiful thing I have ever read. I wish more people would, but thats a double edged sword, because you can't know it till you've felt it. Just as I can't know the pain of someone with terminal cancer. I wouldnt wish it on anyone
    Scott, I'll try to continue to listen to your words and music and get the same hope I always have from them. You were my guide through the storm, and it hurts me so much that I'll now have to find my way, knowing that your no longer physically here with us. I do take huge comfort from these comment sections though, so thank you for everyone for their feelings and stories. It lets us know we're not alone, and its such a beautiful legacy for Scott to leave behind, and one I really think he would be proud of.
    Rest In Paradise Scott! We love you so much! xxx

    Many musicians dazzle listeners with hope, or drench them in despair. Scott’s songs often did both at once.
    And they made people feel better.
    I’m so sad Scott couldn’t feel better too. He deserved to.
    Rest easy.

      Yes ! Security camera footage of him strolling out of his hotel lobby right near the Forth Road Bridge at like 1 a.m. It was late. Then he’s gone for 3 or 4 days. I’m sorry, I’m just going off of my own memory of those days, here. They finally found his body at the marina at the foot of the bridge he sang about despondently jumping from. And this comes from me, an old punk rocker who’s seen too many suicides and o.d. s. No, this was entirely unique. And it’s a GREAT song, too !

    scott's death has affected me so much. after i learned of his death, it brought back memories of the suicide of a friend of mine back in 2015. i keep thinking about the tweet scott left before he went missing. its been engraved in my brain and i think about it a lot. as someone who has also struggled with suicidal thought and depression for the majority of my life, i know exactly what scott was going through and i'm so upset he let it take hold of him. as he stated in his last tweet, "please, hug your loved ones" i see now it was his final cry for help. fr's music saved my life. i was in the psychiatric ward this year after making an attempt and fr's final album played in repeat in my mind as i struggled to get through group therapy and fight my way back out of the hospital. scott's lyrics gave me strength when no one else did. it saddens me he'll never know the full extent and impact his suicide made. rest in power, scott. you are dearly missed.

      He was talking just a few months ago in an interview about how he'd already gone "90%" of the way with it previously. I just read that and was like, god, is he in therapy or something? Is anyone helping him out with this?? On top of that, he was singing this song every night on the TMOF10 tour. (edit: It wasn't actually at the Google interview that he said this. I was confused. He said it in a published interview with Noisey/Vice that had just came out a few days before he went missing. So, maybe no one really knew this about him?)

    Check on your friends guys. Are they ok? Are they hiding their pain? I know I do. After a very difficult time where I was close to floating away- I’d made a promise to my brother that I would l never take that journey. But there are very few people that would think it would cross my mind.
    I still hide pain and that promise I made means that I live with the pain, rather than leaving my brother in pain. Because I truly love him more than life and the pain of living is my reminder that I love him more than myself.
    Not everyone has that to keep them here. Be a friend - hear the pain they hide.

    So you just stepped out
    Of the front of my house
    And I'll never see you again.
    I closed my eyes for a second
    And when they opened
    You weren't there.
    And the door shut shut
    I was vacuum packed,
    Shrink-wrapped out of air
    And the spine collapsed
    And the eyes rolled back
    To stare at my starving brain
    And fully clothed, I float away
    (I'll float away)
    Down the Forth, into the sea
    I think I'll save suicide for another day.
    And I picture this corpse
    On the M8 hearse
    And I half run away to sleep
    On a rolled up coat
    Against the window
    With the strobe of the sun
    And the life I've led
    Am I ready to leap
    Is there peace beneath
    The roar of the Forth road bridge?
    On the Northern side
    There's a Fife of mine
    And a boat in the port for me
    And fully clothed, I float away
    (I'll float away)
    Down the Forth, into the sea
    I'll steer myself
    Through drunken waves
    These manic gulls
    Scream it's okay
    Take your life
    Give it a shake
    Gather up
    All your loose change
    I think I'll save suicide for another year.

  • @danman6669
    @danman6669 6 лет назад +7

    The problem is too often people don't see the warning signs, and, even if someone does tell others that he/she wants to kill himself/herself, no one usually does anything. No one takes it seriously until the day the person is in a coffin, then the people realize their mistakes. Don't make those mistakes. Help those in pain. Help those who are suicidal. Don't turn your backs on them. Love them. Be there for them. Let them know you're there for them. But, don't ever assume they're faking their depression or anxiety. It's all real and sometimes the reality is just too hard to take. RIP Scott (and everyone else who couldn't stand the pain of living any longer).

      david lister excellent point; most who commit suicide have wanted to do so all along and didn’t because of their love for those around them.
      Depression is a very strong disease. It took a ton of courage for him to share to all the struggles that grasped his soul. It took such a strong heart for him to put it words his feelings in such a brutally honest way.
      I think his spirit perpetually floats on the Forth now with a smile and a sense of gentle relief and reflective peace.
