SINGLE REVIEW: THE GRAND MESS “Think Of Me”
Photo credit: Erica Snyder
Deeply haunting with slight disconnection, there’s a sense of despair in the repetition. The Grand Mess has captured the hopeless, dark, and disconnected state of depression. Spiraling down the difficult journey trying to drag someone out of a depressive state while being deep in the same boat, there was empathy and mutual understanding of what each other was going through while not much left to do other than being there and listen.
“Think Of Me” has a strong mental image in its distorted soundscape and disconnected imageries, creating a diversion between reality and illusions. The hypnotic loop was hovering over our heads, creating a very strong and distinct feeling that translated to an inescapable state of mind.
The Grand Mess, aka the Canadian artist/producer Alex Siesse has channeled vulnerability into his voice. Something living and breathing in pain that was locked up in a distance, desperately calling for help. “Think Of Me” is a song that reaches under the skin. It touches something deep in your heart and calls for understanding.
With every detail was deliberately designed and arranged, the music video and the audio together was a complete work of art with sophistication and humanitarian intention to shed light on mental health.
