00:00Hello, my name's Nathan Evans and I'm here with Mikey's Lying Charity.

00:05Now, everyone goes through their own struggles and their own problems in life,

00:09but if it wasn't for the lows, then the highs wouldn't feel very high.

00:13I just want to tell you and let you all know that I promise

00:16there is light at the end of the tunnel.

00:18Take me as an example.

00:20I made a voice note on the 18th of August 2020 and it was the worst,

00:25worst point of my life.

00:27Six months later, Wellerman blew up and completely changed my life

00:32in the blink of an eye.

00:34That voice note went on to be what is now the start of Paper Planes,

00:39which is a song on the album.

00:42So I promise, just take me as an example,

00:45there is light at the end of the tunnel.

00:47It might seem like there isn't at times,

00:49but I know from experience there is.

00:52So just keep your head up and keep going.

00:55I use my music as a sort of therapy and when I put it out into the world,

01:00hopefully other people can relate.

01:02One of my favourite lyrics that mean the most to me on my most recent album

01:06is from a little song called I'm a Man and it goes a little bit like this.

01:11I'm a man, I'm ocean deep.

01:14What you know of me is what I'll let you see.

01:17My soil is rich with secrets sworn to keep,

01:20but with you my tongue is loose and my heart is free.

01:24Speaking out loud to someone face to face makes more of a difference

01:28than you can ever, ever imagine.

01:30It might seem like the hardest task ever,

01:32but honestly it works wonders.

01:35If you're ever, ever having a hard time,

01:38please speak to someone and be the change.

01:41Thanks to Mikey's Line charity for doing what you're doing

01:44and keep it up and let's make a change.

01:46It is okay not to be okay.
