Why Rock Music NEEDS to Talk About Men's Mental Health

Rock music has always tackled tough subjects, but men's mental health is a conversation that is still too often left in the dark. In this powerful clip, Arvid Hällagård of Greenleaf explains why he chooses to write lyrics about difficult topics like depression. He believes it's a vital subject that many people, especially men, are going through but don't talk about, and he poses a simple, powerful question: "Why not make a rock record about that?" This is an essential conversation about using art to destigmatize mental health and the importance of open, honest discussion.
