Above: Editor-in-Chief Alice Gee As we exit lockdown 2.0 and enter a new year I can’t help but reflect on the life changing circumstances we’ve come to face. Lockdown has Photography: Betty Martin proven a difficult time for the majority, from being unable to see our nearest and dearest to our front Oh, so often over the liners sacrificing everything to care for our nation. past year we have grappled with the Personally, this year has been one of severe notion of certainty or anxiety and uncertainty whilst witnessing beacons should I say lack of. I’m of hope through the extraordinary actions within sure I’m not the only our communities. We have watched our nation pull one who is constantly together to support those less fortunate whilst second guessing continuing to fight against COVID. the year of 2021 and what’s in store. I feel Taking this into account, I feel a huge amount every conversation of pride and gratitude that we have been able and meeting we are to release our second issue featuring an aray of expressing our hope extremely talented individuals who have continued and dreams only to half to create and inspire over the past 12 months.

This can be disheartening and paralysing doors. With this, we have seen artists manoeuvre at times. So, it made sense for us to push harder new innovative ways to entertain and keep the arts and achieve even more with our winter covers and alive. culture focused pieces.

Although we were able to shoot socially distanced outside for one of our previous covers, I really had missed the hustle and bustle that comes FOR BETTER with a studio shoot.

Sometimes the past is slightly different without our much loved gigs really is the best teller of future and what better and festivals. For us, I think continuing in some way to instil confidence that our creative industries capacity is hugely lucky and something we will will arise front the ashes. continue not to take for granted. One of the hopes I have following the pandemic is we don’t become complacent and blind to the struggles of mental health that many have finally arrived to bare witness to. We were already in the midst of a mental health crisis pre COVID-19, with many suffering and falling victim to mental illness day in and day out. I pray that we continue to acknowledge mental health as something that needs more funding and support and that ourselves, communities and charities should not be alone in this. It is time our government acknowledge their responsibilty in the fight to better our mental health and better funding, care and strategies. We have seen over this year how we are all capable of pulling together to show such understanding and love, as well as how physical and mental health go hand in hand. It’s time to pave a better future, we must not fall complacent. In times of such uncertainty all we have is one another, and now more than ever it is so important to continue to look after one another. Let 2021 be the year of continuing change for better mental health. Merry Christmas and I hope a happier new year.

Head Above The Clouds began to create safe spaces within the music industry for those with their mentalhealth issues, whilst promoting better mental health policy and raising funds for key mental health charities. Since Head Above The Clouds began, we have run numerous events including gigs, festivals and panel debates whilst producing online content of podcasts and campaigns. As we continue to grow at an incredible rate, we also continue to reach a wider audience by branching into new areas within the creative industries and growing into a much wider media company. Here at Head Above The Clouds we want our magazine to be an immersive experience. With that and the work we do, we understand the trouble that can arise when it comes to making a magazine that is accessible to those with learning and visual difficulties. The magazine aims to not only produce content for readers to understand and tackle their own mental health struggles but to also give you the chance to hear from those who have, and still are experiencing mental health difficulties. Experts featured will provide readers a chance to learn about different mental illnesses, the stigma and policy issues surrounding them as well as information on how and where to seek help. We want to provide for those suffering with mental illness a chance to not only learn and feel welcome but a chance to have a voice and a place to change prejudices surrounding the every day battle for better mental health.

    Song Exploder Laura Marling - Song For Our Daughter Episode 184 Hrishikesh: You’re listening to Song Exploder, where musicians take apart their songs and piece by piece tell the story of how they were made. My name is Hrishikesh Hirway. (“Song for Our Daughter” by LAURA MARLING) Hrishikesh: Before we start, I want to mention that, in this episode, there’s some discussions of themes that might be difficult for some: sexual harassment and assault, as well as a mention of rape and suicide. Please use your best discretion. Laura Marling is a singer and songwriter from London. She won the Brit Award for Best British Female Solo Artist - she’s been nominated five times for that, along with the Mercury Prize, and the Grammy for Best Folk Album. Since 2008, she’s released seven albums. The most recent is called Song for Our Daughter. It’s also the name of the song that she takes apart in this episode. I spoke to Laura while she was in her home studio in London. (“Song for Our Daughter” by LAURA MARLING) Laura: My name is Laura Marling. (Music fades out) Laura: This is the longest I've ever taken to write a record. You know, I started very young. I put out my first album when I was 17, and I'm now 30. When I was young, in a really wonderful way, and I think everybody experiences this when they're young, you're kind of a functioning narcissist [laughter], in that you have this experience of the world, in which you are the central character.

  • Sam Fischer & Demi Lovato New Single 'What Other People
    SAM FISCHER & DEMI LOVATO NEW SINGLE ‘WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY’ OUT NOW SAM FISCHER ANNOUNCED AS YOUTUBE’S FIRST ‘ARTIST ON THE RISE’ FOR 2021 Following the huge success of his global smash hit This City and recent project Homework, Sam Fischer has teamed up with Demi Lovato to release his new single What Other People Say out now via RCA Records. Listen HERE. Written by Sam before his single This City became a hit, it was a song he always knew would be a duet and was blown away when Demi Lovato became the perfect person to accompany him on vocals. Written about a feeling of being alone and not wanting to let people down, the pairing takes two different lives and perspectives and unites them in one message of human experience, emotion and togetherness, so they are alone with one another in the song. It is a truly special track with a powerful, moving and relatable chorus and is the next official single release for Sam since This City. Sam says; “What Other People Say is a confession, realizing how far away you can get from who you are in an effort to be liked. It’s about the pressures of society and how getting caught up with the wrong things can change you.” Demi says; “This song is a reflection on what it’s like to lose who you truly are in an effort to please other people and society. It’s why I wanted to make this song with Sam – ultimately it’s about two humans coming together to connect and find solutions to their problems.” Alongside the announcement of the single, Sam Fischer has also shared that he has been chosen as YouTube’s first ‘Artist on the Rise’ for 2021, which follows previous winners Mabel, Aitch, Freya Ridings, Mahalia, Beabadoobee and Celeste.

Horror- verhalen. Of, toch niet… Want als het gesprek zich verder doorzet blijkt hoeveel ze hebben geleerd van die gebroken snaren, het busje dat ergens op de weg tussen Groningen en Middelburg besloot ermee op te houden en dat laatste biertje wat misschien beter toch niet gedronken had moeten worden… Tijdens mijn eerste jaar Popronde - inmiddels vijf jaar terug - zat ik in de auto met Tim, toen verantwoordelijk voor de social media, op de terugweg van Popronde Almere. Tim sprak toen de gevleugelde woorden: ‘fuck de TROS, de Popronde is de grootste familie van Ne- derland. In ieder geval de leukste!’ In die vijf jaar ben ik mij steeds meer gaan beseffen dat hij, met misschien een laatste biertje wat mis- schien beter toch niet gedronken had moeten worden op, gelijk had.
