Jack’s Mannequin - The Resolution [Official Music Video]

Andrew McMahon has been a huge musical influence in my life since he first appeared, mop-haired and barefoot, on the pop-punk scene in 2001. I was that Punk Rock Princess and I loved every word he wrote.

As I was trying to rebuild after having my world cave in around me, Andrew was watching his fall apart. He received a diagnosis of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on the same day he finished recording his first album away from Something Corporate, Jack’s Mannequin’s Everything in Transit.

Everything in Transit was filled with songs about broken hearts, lost loves, and finding your own self in the healing, songs that spoke so deeply to what I was experiencing at that time in my own life. Songs that I needed to hear. Something Corporate was the soundtrack of life before the collapse; Jack’s Mannequin was the songs that helped me put it all back together.

You may see tattoos, piercings, and rebellion, but their fans see acceptance, individuality, and revolution. You hear screaming and insults to your precious society, their fans hear hope and criticism of your distorted society. This is not a genre of hatred and insults, this is a genre of self-love and acceptance. This is punk music.

Today marks the beginning of our new interview series "Hope Through Music & Friends" in which music industry professionals talk about their journey and mental health. We had the honour to kick off with Ella Gregg, manager of Blushes and founder of 321 Artists:

"I think one of the most important things is make sure you keep talking, don’t keep things bottled up. If something is worrying or upsetting or bothering you, make sure you talk things through with someone you trust. It sounds cliche when people say “You’re not on your own” but it’s truer than we let ourselves believe."

Loving a band with all your heart is something you only understand when it happens to you. On the surface, others can see it as a petty obsession, but they’ll just never know the feeling of putting so much faith into a few people on the other side of the world. It’s hard to explain it to them, the listening to song after song on repeat, the waits for new albums, the excitement and surreal sensation when you finally see them live. They don’t seem to understand why the lyric booklets give you a sense of comfort, or why you paste photos of them all over your bedroom walls. And they can’t understand why one band could matter to you so much. And you think to yourself, “because they saved my life.” But you say nothing, that wouldn’t understand.

This isn’t one of my “songs that saved my life.” It isn’t even close. Weezer, The Blue Album, Say It Ain’t So, came along long before I ever knew that music had the immense power to change and save lives. But maybe it was yours. Maybe something in “Dear Daddy, I write you, In spite of years of silence” gave you a reason to push through. It definitely has the strength to do that and remains, nearly 25 years later, one of my favorite songs of all time.

Do you ever feel nostalgia? Like the kid you used to be is looking down on you Take a minute, maybe give it just another try Nostalgia A couple of months ago, we had the honour to interview Martin …

“It’s amazing how day to day things seem similar, and yet a little way down the line, everything is different. The little steps are big really.”
