Sounds of Saving (SoS) has revealed a new installment of their “Song that Found Me At The Right Time” series. Today they share Kate Davis’ take on Daniel Johnston’s "Too Young To Die" along with an intimate chat with Kate where she discusses the importance of music in her own identity and mental well-being and how she has used it to get through periods of grief and hopelessness. For every one person that dies by suicide, 280 people think seriously about suicide but go on to live out their lives. These are untold stories that must be shared. Sounds of Saving announced their partnership with Lifeline in 2019 and they have since been working together on the creation of “Song that Found Me At The Right Time.” Engaging with musicians the series reveals how a song found each artist at the right time, as well as sharing how each artist has managed to cope and even thrive in the face of difficult times and emotional crisis. SoS note they reached out to Davis “because her musical talent and storytelling are both beautiful and raw and touch many themes of mental health while not being overtly confessional.” Kate Davis co-wrote Sharon Van Etten’s nostalgic indie rock hit “Seventeen,” and last year released her own highly celebrated indie rock debut, Trophy. This past summer she recorded a cover version of Daniel Johnston's 1984 album Retired Boxer. This coming January, in collaboration with the Hi, How Are You Project, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing open conversations around mental health and well-being, Davis will release Strange Boy, a unique rendering that is named after the eighth song on Johnston’s original masterpiece.    Watch the conversation with Kate Davis and her cover of Daniel Johnstons "Too Young To Die" here:

Today at 1pm EST, Sounds of Saving, in partnership with The American Association Of Suicidology, will present a 2 song set along with a Q&A with BULLY, moderated by Dr. Robert Galligan. They will go live at 1pm EST via AAS’ Facebook.

Today’s video marks the 4th installment of the “Song that Found Me At The Right Time” series. Last month they released an interview with Sharon Van Etten who recorded her version of Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt.” The critically acclaimed release drew attention from the likes of Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, AV Club, Uproxx, and Stereogum. They kicked the series off with lyricist/ producer/ vocalist KeiyaA who covered Jazmine Sullivan’s “Silver Lining” and most recently shared Jamie Lidell’s cover of Sly and The Family Stone’s “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin).” Sounds of Saving promotes honest, intimate conversations about mental health and   emphasizes the impact of music of all genres on human connection, coping during difficult times and maintaining mental wellness. They note, “we see the experience of music both for artists and fans as a way to express and process personal and collective struggles and then to feel less alone in whatever we may be goIng through.”  About Sounds of Saving: Sounds of Saving (SoS) was founded by Nick Greto and Charlie Gross. The organization successfully launched a campaign that placed free vinyl LPs throughout NYC that included mental health information. They have released 10 “Songs that Found Me” videos and interviews with artists from multiple genres. In 2019 SoS hosted its inaugural “Feedback Sessions” event, which involved musical performance and an open moderated discussion between artists, audience and a psychologist about the theme of “Inertia.”  All donations to SoS will support the nonprofit’s creation of an easily-accessible online platform to bring stories, support, and resources to creatives and all people seeking a way through the darkness.
