The band Seven Days War releases today the music video for the song "Paralyzed," featured on their newest EP , Devil's Amusement .
The composition contributes a behavioral approach, addressing the important topic of depression and its constant feelings through its lyrics. Through powerful music, the intention is to spark discussion and a better understanding of the illness and its risk factors. The band consists of musicians Guilherme Cunha (guitar), Igor Casenote (guitar/vocals), Jorge Santana (vocals), Josué Monteiro (bass), and Juliano Santana (drums).
Taking advantage of "Yellow September," the month dedicated to Suicide Prevention by the International Association for Suicide Prevention , the band is releasing its new self-produced audiovisual work.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression affects more than 300 million people of all ages worldwide. In Brazil, it is estimated that 5.8% of the population is affected by the disease. Depression is a chronic psychiatric illness, often confused with sadness, which can generate anguish, mood swings, and can often lead to suicidal thoughts. It was through the personal experiences of members of Seven Days War and well-known examples of artists connected to rock music who struggled with depression that "Paralyzed" emerges, revealing in its lyrics a dialogue between two alter egos of the same person. One describes what they are feeling, and the other explains why they are feeling it. According to the band, this is a contribution to the public, offering fans the opportunity to discuss and clarify the topic, including seeking professional help, empathy, and friendship.
