Derbyshire Mind, men’s mental health group ManClub and South Derbyshire MP Samantha Niblett are among those supporting the campaign to get the song – originally released in 2024 – up the Christmas charts.<\/p>\n
The track includes Melbourne Town Band and a choir made up of students from Castle Gresley-based Vocal Zone Voice Studio. <\/p>\n
Andrew Horth said: “I bumped into Samantha [Niblett] at a festival a few months ago by chance. <\/p>\n
“She jokingly said ‘how do we get this to Christmas number 1?’.<\/p>\n
“It started a conversation. She said we could do it for charity and raise money for men’s mental health. I know she’d been aware of several male suicides in her constituency.<\/p>\n
“So I was like, yes, let’s do it. That was only in November. So it’s been a quick turnaround.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t know Mikey personally but I was aware of the outpouring of grief on social media for him.<\/p>\n
“It seemed like a good thing to do to re-release this song for this cause.<\/p>\n
“It’s an uplifting song tinged with melancholy, about maximising the limited time we have with loved ones we only see during the holidays.<\/p>\n
“Christmas can be an especially tough time if you’re struggling with your mental health.<\/p>\n
“We want to make a dent in the charts. We need a lot of streams – downloads are even better.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Derbyshire Mind, men’s mental health group ManClub and South Derbyshire MP Samantha Niblett are among those supporting the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":340700,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[97,259,260],"class_list":{"0":"post-340699","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mental-health","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-mental-health","10":"tag-mentalhealth"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=340699"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340699\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/340700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=340699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=340699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
