This second episode goes into discovering in my teens that high school and youth group "fun stuff" was depressing to me rather than fun. It explores the idea that when depression is experienced as a lack of enthusiasm and "positive energy," the more times one is urged to demonstrate enthusiasm and cheerfulness one doesn't possess, the more joy seems out of reach, like something for other people. It remembers starting to wear all black, sleep all day and opt out of things.

bible, christianity, depression, fundamentalism, guitar, hell, home recording, music, music production, parents, plymouth brethren, rapture, therapeutic
This episode sets the stage for the album The Story of Peter Grey, outlining the nature of our Plymouth Brethren Christian group, our strict church upbringing within it, and my father's over-enthusiastic involvement in it, following the direct mentorship of a key voice of tradition in a time when change was in the wind. It includes soundbites of the actual 70s and 80s preachers preaching what they preached. It goes into what happened to our family when my dad ended up on the wrong side of church politics. It ends with the song written afterward to deal mentally and psychologically with all of it.
