LYRICS: I see you looking and thinking all you know is true Am I just someone you see a shade of blue? I’m not just a shadow passing over your time I’m so much more than that You never see what is broken in me when I smile Eyes down all the pieces rattle round in my mind It’s not just the feeling of falling away It’s so much more, it’s so much more, it’s so much more than that (It’s so much more, it’s so much more, it’s so much more than that) I don’t know if I can hold on, everything just feels a come down We’re all part of something more than all that we see There’s a beauty deeper if we only believe Take a step from the edge and I promise there’ll be A reason to fly, ways of learning to breathe And so much more, there’s so much more, there’s so much more than that So much more than that, so much more than that………….

"Band Aid producer teams up with Bath artists for mental health charity single"

He produced the most famous charity single of all time, and now Stuart Bruce is working with artists Sam Eason and the band littlemen on a charity single in aid of St Mungo’s and other local charities for World Mental Health Day 2017.

The single – More Than That – was written and recorded at NAM studios in Wiltshire, in a matter of weeks after the artists set themselves a challenge to release the song in time for World Mental Health Day on Wednesday 10th October.

To mark the release of the single, Sam Eason and littlemen will be performing a one-off gig - Music in Mind - at the Orchard Street Theatre in Bath on Friday 13th October. Tickets for the gig are on sale now from www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3064448. The single is on sale on Friday 6 October for 'pay-what-you-want' download from Bandcamp or from iTunes for 79p.

All proceeds will be equally split between two St Mungo’s projects New Hope and Hope Space, plus KS2 and the Bath Mind project Greenlinks @ the Potting Shed.

Stuart Bruce said: “The twin issues of homelessness and mental health and how they interrelate are extremely important to me. I have always felt that as a nation we do not pay enough attention to them and so the work of charities such as St Mungo’s and the other projects in Bath is of paramount importance. I am very pleased to be involved in the making of this single and hope it succeeds in raising awareness and much needed funds to help in this incredibly important work.”

Artist, Sam Eason, who has suffered with anxiety and depression for a number of years said: “Talking about mental health has enabled me to come to terms with the illness and understand more about what it means to me. I'm honoured to be supporting St Mungo’s in raising awareness of their vital local projects, as well as highlighting the national work of the charity. It's also a massive treat to be able to write, record and play alongside my very good friend Simon Allen and the incredible littlemen for Music In Mind 2017. I'm massively excited about the song we are working on together and look forward to sharing it in the run up to World Mental Health Day."

littlemen’s Simon Allen has experienced homelessness and struggled with his own mental health. He tells us: “Since I was 15 I've experienced many ups and downs with my mental health, the highs of feeling well, the lows of curling up in the foetal position crying my eyes out and not being able to speak to a soul, the anti-depressants and counselling. And so, I find myself writing songs with my brother in musical arms, Sam Eason, trying to raise some awareness and lift a little bit more of the lid off the stigma about talking about mental health. Writing songs is what Sam and I do and we hope, that our words and melody will get people singing and talking.”

Helen Brian. Mental Health Move On Worker for St Mungo’s said: “We are hugely grateful to Stuart, Sam and littlemen. These massively talented musicians have a huge local fan base and we are delighted that they are working with us to promote this amazing cause and to fundraise for vital mental health peer groups in Bath.”
