Today, 18/2/18, is the day of the next instalment of Song Of The Week Sunday - where I will be sharing a piece of music that I listened to more than any other during the space of the previous. In this instance, from week beginning 12/1/18 and ending today, 18/2/18, the song I listened to the most was the following:
Battle Scars by Paradise Fears!

This song has been one that I tend to listen to when working on pieces of work that focus on mental health. Or at least, when I feel that I can handle it. I absolutely love this song. It's very emotive and I tend to get emotional when listening to it.
This week I played it several times, as for homework, I am analysing messages about mental health in music to demonstrate the power of imagery and metaphors to go along with the physical symptoms of an issue. For an assignment I am doing for my coursework, I am writing prose about the experiences of anxiety and the first piece that I chose to start analysing first was this song. It is not as well known as Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots, and although it's an amazing song, I felt it was better to use lesser known music.
With it being on loop, I felt that this song earned the position of the Song Of The Week!
Thank you for reading
