Lithium Sunset Lyrics

We all have ups and downs. Bipolar is a somewhat subjective diagnosis. Anyway, if he isn't diagnosed as such, the song definitely is about someone who is. Lithium maybe a colour but is also the main prescribed mood stabilizer. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he was. Anyway, very talented and good looking guy in his prime. He has every right to feel chuffed with himself! Beautiful song - just discovered it!

@JulyTeen PS the next song on the album is called 'I'm so happy I can't stop crying'. LOL. I used to do that!

Bipolar disorder has some of the least subjective criteria in psychiatry. It's not just having "ups and downs". That's a bad day, not depression.
