Above Only - Listen Friend

Above Only's NEW single "Listen Friend" is a song that deals directly with depression, self-hate, and suicide. "During the writing process this song stopped being about me and became about us, its a voice for the voiceless" says AO front-man, Justin. If you or someone you know is struggling, we want you to know that there is hope, you are loved, and you are worth it!!! In a quote taken from a review of "Listen Friend" by Stephanie Peterson of Jesus Wired writes: (https://jesuswired.com/2021/05/06/abo...) "All it takes is a smile, a head nod and/or a hello. Look around you. See someone struggling? Reach out to them. See someone being left out? Include them. See someone’s scars? Listen to them. Remind them that you care. Tell them they are loved, that they DO have a hope and a future, that tomorrow holds the answers to today’s problems. Encourage them to keep fighting. Arrange to meet up with them again later, or in a few days and do something fun. Have lunch together or something. Most of the time they don’t even wanna talk about it all, they just want to be included. There’s no lonelier place than being isolated and trapped in one’s mind. Keep an eye out and be someone’s light today. Don’t feel qualified to do so? Just be brave and go for it, you’ll soon find out you are. If they do need to speak to someone professional, here’s the numbers to call… America’s suicide prevention hotline – 1-800-273-8255 England’s – 116 123
