Tom Walker has partnered with CALM for gorgeous new single, ‘Lifeline’. It’s available to listen to on all major streaming platforms!
After recently becoming an ambassador for the charity, CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) and Tom walker have got together to spread the message that you’re not alone. Processing grief and shock when unexpectedly losing a loved one is likely to be the toughest thing you ever do, and Tom knows all too well how that feels.
When discussing the new release, Tom Walker said:
“Me and my friends lost one of our own suddenly and unexpectedly. It’s difficult to process grief.I felt we were all asking ourselves ‘what could I have done? What could I have said? What could have been done differently?’. Sometimes people make choices that are beyond your control and it’s hard to help someone who isn’t reaching out. My hope is that maybe by writing a song like this that addresses the stigma behind mental health, it might persuade people to think twice and ask for a helping hand when they’re really struggling. CALM is an amazing charity who help people when things get too much. I’m keen to spread the word about their amazing work in any way that I can.”
‘Lifeline’ describes the feeling of losing a loved one who has died by suicide, and the question this brings when embarking on a grief journey. It can be very tricky to think of why maybe they didn’t open up to how they felt, and what you could have done to help the situation.
If you’re struggling and need to talk to someone, CALM’s helpline is available 5pm-midnight, 365 days a year. More information about their life saving work can be found on their website.
