“A message that means so much”: Callum Beattie announces presale of new charity single, ‘Something in My Eye’
"Something in my Eye" is my new single and is all about mental health and theoverwhelming feelings we sometimes experience. I'm really happy to be donating a shareof the proceeds from the record to Mikeysline to support as many people as possible.
The video for the new song features two wonderful actors, Sam Heughan and RichardRankin, who I am now honoured to call my friends. Their participation is a true testamentto the power of human connection.
I feel very fortunate to have a career that allows me to use the power of music to enhanceour human connections. My sincere hope is that this song will help even a tiny number ofpeople to open up and talk.
I've always strived to be open about my mental health and my vulnerabilities, even whenit's incredibly difficult to talk about these things. I believe that being able to express how wefeel is challenging but immensely important. I always try to wear my heart on my sleeveand help as many people as I possibly can.
Men are expected to be strong all the time, which means we bottle up our feelings. Thiscreates a paradox for me because my emotions are a huge source of my songwritingcreativity, yet these same feelings can be so overwhelming that I struggle to cope with thepressures of everyday life. I know I'm not alone in feeling this way.
What keeps me going is my ability to talk to those around me about those feelings. When Iwas asked to be an ambassador for the mental health charity Mikeysline, I was absolutelydelighted to accept. It means I can use my songs to help make a difference to people whohave similar experiences and raise awareness that "it's okay not to be okay."
When we realise that it's good to be open and talk about our emotions, we can be braveand turn our vulnerability into a superpower. I want to help as many people as I can toachieve this.
Feeling bad or vulnerable is not a weakness. I know that these feelings are not permanentand can change. This experience can make you stronger.Love, compassion, and openness are the keys to my journey, and my hope is that I can help others on their journey too.
