It's a very strange feeling to be so deeply affected by the passing of someone you didn't actually know. I've always felt a connection with him through his music though and my favourite song has always been "Floating in the Forth" which is one of the most relatable and special things I've ever heard. I've always listened to that song and felt comfort in being out of that headspace and for some reason always assumed that the worst was behind Scott too. I'm devastated to hear that wasn't the case and my heart hurts knowing he was suffering and couldn't find the help and the comfort he gave so many others.
i'm not going to pretend like i was the biggest frightened rabbit fan before this, but i liked MOF and PV a lot, and this is still hitting me really hard right now. hope all of you are doing okay.
Fuck. This was the news I've been dreading to see for a couple days now. I was lucky enough to see FR a couple times live and they've been one of my favorite bands for going on a decade now. I wish he could have found some peace here in this life. Godspeed Scott.
Always heard of this band but for some reason never listened to them. I hate that this news is what has made me check them out, but listening through Midnight Organ Flight this morning and I am really enjoying this. Fits perfect with this really cold and rainy Friday.
“The Modern Leper” is one of my favorite side a track ones. Such a great piece of songwriting. Wish his story shared the same ending.
I don't even listen to this band or follow them whatsoever but this news has had me shook all week. I found myself checking up on the news every few hours hoping for a positive update/outcome. It's definitely left a mark on me and I can't imagine what his friends, family and fans are going through. I'm truly sorry to all in here who Scott's music had an impact on. A guy I used to collaborate with through work killed himself earlier this week as well. This is too much. I really hope anyone dealing with depression or suicidal thoughts or whatever will talk to loved ones, friends, family, someone on here, whoever. People care and will try to help. Everyone is dealing with something. It's not always easy to see from the outside, but if we can all start to talk about it with others, it will help immensely.
"I wonder if they'd notice that I'm not around, The loss of a lonely man never makes much of a sound" This line hits extra hard today.
Ironically enough, "Fields of Wheat" has been my 5:30 AM alarm for the last year or so, and it woke me up to the bad news today. Underrated, beautiful song.
Absolutely devastating... I hope you're all doing okay I've never really listened to this band but I've been following the news over the last few days with that pit of anxiety in my stomach. If you're struggling to deal with this, please feel free to message me on here or any other social media, I'll reply when I wake up. Sending you all love
My Backwards Walk is hitting hard right now. "I'm working on my faults and cracks Filling in the blanks and gaps And when I write them out they don't make sense I need you to pencil in the rest" I keep thinking about that tweet he wrote about letting someone down. I just hope whoever he had argued with on that phone call, or whatever happened, they know that they are not responsible for this.
This keeps getting worse every hour. I just can’t believe it. Super thankful to have seen Scott solo acoustic and the entire band. I got into MOF as I was nearing the end of high school and it was one of the first albums to reallly open up my tastes from the hive of what all my friends listened to. It certainly felt like something new and fresh and I was finding a new part of myself in them.
I just re-listened to his Appearance on You Made It Weird from 2014, and he just seemed like he was in such a good place at that time.
As someone who suffers from pretty severe depression that's probably the scariest thing about the illness. Even when I'm doing well, like I have been lately, I know it's only temporary and won't last
