The particular genius of eg Williams is to get that you can use music that’d have the moviegoing public flee a concert hall in disgust & put it in a context that makes it their favourite thing they’ve ever heard. It’s not only using music to explain a scene, it’s using the scene to explain the music

Many young people are offered antidepressants at their 1st appointment (against NICE guidelines) when it isn’t always the right path. Getting involved in community and in creativity can make a huge difference. We need to invest in hubs like The Music Works and expand social prescribing options.
