“One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.” - Nietzsche
We all know musicians who have suffered from a clouded mind.
It is this troubled psyche that allowed them to make beautiful compositions, addressing troubles that sometimes words cannot contain.
The theme this week is “Contesting Mental Borders”.
In this playlist, is a selection of artists, who made stunning music despite their mental illnesses.
Tonight I ask myself: are we also mad if we listen and relate to music that stems from an ailed mind?
