Fiona-Lee Shares ‘Nothing Compares To Nineteen’

Fiona-Lee has shared new single ‘Nothing Compares To Nineteen’.

The Yorkshire songwriter has a potent emotive touch, able to transform her own experiences into something universal. A full EP is incoming, with Fiona-Lee recently sharing impressive lead single ‘Mother’.

The EP is incoming on Gravity Records, with Fiona-Lee now sharing new song ‘Nothing Compares To Nineteen’. A deft insight into mental health, the lyrics look at her own life, and contrasts this with the insights of her father.

Beautifully done, Fiona-Lee comments…

‘Nothing Compares To Nineteen’ is my own story of growing up and struggling with anxiety and depression when I was at school. I wrote it a couple years after a life long friend had taken his life and I was experiencing grief for the first time. It made me think about a conversation I’d had with my dad when I was about 15, where he told me that he’d also struggled with depression when he was young but never got help. It was the first time I became properly aware of the difference between men and women when it comes to talking about our feelings – and that became even clearer when I was 19 and witnessed it first hand with my friend dying.

So I guess the song is really something I hope young people can find some comfort in, knowing that they’re not the only socially anxious kid out there that’s intimidated by the boys at school – and I also hope it can keep the conversation going about the importance of men being able to express themselves truthfully and feeling they can ask for help when they need it.

Tune in now.
