Hey Our Basement,

While speaking out on mental health issues or addiction has become a “trendy” topic as of late, it sadly feels like a lot of us are becoming indifferent to the idea of it. The fact remains that nearly 800,000 people die from suicide every year. It’s still a very real issue that needs continuous support.

“I Won’t Die For You” takes place in the clouded mind of someone going through the heartbreaking motions of addiction and depression. Though I’ve never found myself enveloped in this sort of darkness, I’ve witnessed so many beautiful people I love struggle in silence. It’s left me feeling broken and burning.

This song began as an outlet for me to cope with my feelings surrounding the existence of these things in my life, but now it’s yours to relate to whether you personally face these struggles or have someone you love who does.

This past year was a bit of a springboard for 2020. I’ll be looking to launch my debut EP (4-6 brand new tracks), with an accompanying live show, in the spring/summer. It’s going to be a busy year, and I’m super stoked for it. Hope you stick around for the ride.

BENJII 🌿🖤
