Southampton based indie-pop band Myriad have released their brand new single ‘I Walk‘ to coincide with a campaign to spread mental health awareness and raise money for charity Solent Mind. The band has released a music video to go along with the track, the first of a handful of planned videos that tell a story with theme of mental health awareness in mind. Lead singer of Myriad, David, had this to say about the song and the video:
“I Walk is about a teacher I had at my primary school. He was an extremely kind, caring, and compassionate man. When I was at the age of about 4 or 5, before I had even picked up a musical instrument, he was the very first person to suggest to my parents that I might have some kind of musical talent. He said that I should listen to every style of music out there, so I did. He also recommended that I learn a few musical instruments along the way. One day he wasn’t at school though, and I didn’t really understand why at the time. I’ll always miss the way he would play guitar in assemblies whilst we sang along to songs on the projector. I think this song is a way of making things feel a little better.”
