Chelsea Wolfe & Emma Ruth Rundle "Anhedonia" (Official Video)

[@LadyLazarus1027]

Anhedonia is the inability to feel pleasure in anything you do, probably one of the saddest symptoms of depression. Love the emotion in both their voices.

[@nycrsny3406]

Thanks.

[@napalmmornings5527]

I suffer from Anhedonia due to my 20 year battle with MDD. Suicide became a very real option....but I have two young children...so I sought professional help. The road to recovery is long...but I'm on it and making progress. I'm sorry for sharing my personal story....I tried to keep it really short and void of major detail.

[@LadyLazarus1027]

@@napalmmornings5527 that's okay, your life and your story are important. I know depression but definetely not the same way as you do, so I'm wishing you all the best, I really hope you can recover from this and live happily with your children. just remember that all hope lies within.

[@welwitschia]

Anhedonia fucking sucks. Going around life in a perpetual "meh" state makes everything drab and gray, and like there is no real point to anything. It's not nihilism, is just a total lack of emotion, an existential emptiness. 0/10 do not recommend.

[@m01s_71]

Anhedonia is actually the inability to feel pleasure or joy in anything. T. Diagnosed with Profound Anhedonia

[@RabotatRecords]

I second that! Would listen to a full LP of this magic

[@AnaOliveira_1986]

Yes, please.

[@_rafa_-lp8vc]

WOULD YOU IMAGINE THE SHEER BRILLIANCE THAT WOULD COME OUT OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT? It'd be something out of this world

[@jbasti227]

Been a LONG time coming!

[@tereasia]

Ohshit, yes

[@Carpetmatches]

I wondered at first why there wasn’t much of a climax to the song, but that’s what anhedonia feels like. Just nothing except occasional waves of indescribable pain that come from the reality that you can’t feel. Well done ladies, well done.

[@mxx720]

Trent Reznor does this a lot in NIN's music too. He deliberately holds back an expected resolution to evoke a feeling of longing or being incomplete, and I don't think anyone can deny NIN's influence on either Chelsea or Emma's music.

[@denkho6118]

As I keep returning to this song for 3 years now, I still hear a decent build-up starting at 2:30, peaking at 2:45.

[@GhANeC]

It’s quite the climax for the song it is

[@saltcitytarot]

Excellent description. 👏

[@panoptic50]

Hopefully, you're listening to this on a good day, but if not, remember that there is no shame in seeking help. Everyone's depression is different but in all cases, it's very hard to overcome alone.

[@iamadogepleasepetme.8139]

With expectation when you are left alone from toxic homen.

[@rubene.2213]

Is that supposed to be inspiring? I'm trying to overcome it alone, I've got nobody (yes, I see a therapist but I do all by myself, all the time).

[@jessikatkins1173]

@@rubene.2213 I'm sorry you are alone in your struggle. But I do not think he was trying to be anything. I thought his comment was heartfelt and made sense. Plz remember when you do feel alone...you are extremely lucky to have a therapist. I know...lucky is a stupid word. I just mean some ppl would give anything to poor it all out to a proffessional. Must relieve a lot of fear knowing you're being taken seriously. Now some truly do have no one. No family. No friends. Nothing. And we all know therapist's cost the earth. I do wish you well in body and mind~

[@duikmans]

@@jessikatkins1173 Unfortunately, even with family, you can still have no one.

[@Christabel44]

I’m going through this right now and I can describe how this song has captured this state so perfectly.

[@kajetangizinski7298]

This is tremendously beautiful. Both girls with heavy baggage of experiences sing the saddest song ever written for others to save hope. Love you girls, your souls are beautiful!

[@nimhard]

This is one of the saddest and most beautiful songs written in the history of humanity. True artistry. Love both of them.

[@charlieeeeeeeeee]

Chelsea and Emma’s anhedonia actually makes me feel good about coming to terms with the anhedonia episodes I went through.

[@abgot777]

I haven't heard such a beautiful song in a long time.

[@MustObeyTheRules]

Me neither, in fact I had almost stopped listening to music all together

[@chaoswitch1974]

I'm just figuring out I'm addicted to sad music.

[@outerentity]

Same lately.

@OneSilentGiant I know a lot of those, but many I don't. I'll check them out! Thank you

[@westcoastogee585]

@OneSilentGiant you and i have VERY similar tastes in music. Im working my way down ur first list right now 🙂

[@chicana323scla]

Depression is something that I know to well... always trying to overcome the pain of the trauma of life, always hoping to bloom into a better reality and not quite getting there... I hope I make it some day. I still hold on to my hope for love...

[@chicana323scla]

@@crippleized Thank you for sharing, it’s a very emotional and beautiful song. I can’t believe I have never heard it... I love Iggy one of my fav songs is Chocolate Drops.

[@crippleized]

@@chicana323scla Yeah I couldn't help but think of it when you said "hoping to bloom into a better reality and not quite getting there". It reminded me of the lyrics to that song: "Every day I think about untwisting and untangling these strings I'm in And to lead a pure life I look ahead at a clear sky Ain't gonna get there But it's a nice dream, it's a nice dream" The lyrics and arrangement to that song is really good, all around. I'm glad you liked it.

[@maartenverbaarschot4332]

not quite getting there... it's a trap, a mindfuck. Accept your condition and count from less than zero. You'll end up with a cup that's always full. It might not be what you (think you) want, but if you see the joy and beauty in what is there, it will grow like a cactus. It might be a slow, prickly process, but you will bloom. And you'll develop the surviving skills to go without life water for long times. Be a cactus, they're the most beautifull things in hostile surroundings. LLAP, a fellow traveller in the arts of fighting the good fight.

[@sveinunglidsheim5828]

When something is so beautiful that you have to stop for a moment because it is "too much". Just like you have to let your heart take it`s time to tremble when you eat a dark chocolate cake to your coffee and you see a flock of birds flying into the blue hour.

Just wanted to find out if there is some songs about my conditions , well I did not expect this

A paradox...Such a sad and melancholic song, yet the beauty of the song reminds me that there is still beauty in the world.

[@kirdot2011]

[@ahadriz3982]

I just loved how they mentioned suicide prevention line and other resources at the end of the video. real goth queen 🖤

[@resistor27]

[@MustObeyTheRules]

I don’t agree with suicide prevention but I do love her music.

[@spencervanmeter8167]

@@MustObeyTheRules wtf? How the hell do you not agree with suicide prevention? Suicide isn’t something to encourage or promote

[@MustObeyTheRules]

@@spencervanmeter8167 don’t have a knee jerk pissy fit. No one asked to come into this world. Every one should have the right to die with dignity whenever they feel they’ve had enough. Suicide prevention does nothing, if someone wants to die, they are going to. Wouldn’t you rather them be allowed to have a medically assisted way out? Quit trying to force people to stay in this hell.

[@hazardousjazzgasm129]

@@MustObeyTheRules But most people who experience suicidal ideation don't actually want to die. And in fact, many people who survive suicide attempts regret their decision in the middle of the act. So to say "suicide prevention does nothing" is pretty ignorant of basic psychological facts and stats

[@nikkili8944]

This song is so beautiful yet melancholic. It reflects the visceral pain and despair of a lot of people especially in these dreary and dismal times. Unfortunately there are more and more people who are suffering from depression and anxiety and have serious suicidal thoughts.

[@jasonfennell1114]

Is it me or are they incorporating the the viewer in the video? The person dying, going into a cocoon, and being reborn and drawn to this video like a moth. Feels motivating

[@diosdiablo6953]

Love the use of the moths, they represent the dark aspects of the mind. Great choice.

Absolutely agree. The transition from the caterpillar to the moths provides an aspect of hope and healing

Take listen to Chelsea wolf with russian circles. Glorious melancholy

[@alexpetrov8871]

The funny fact - when I first listened to this track I heard it on a setup like two 400Watt Genelec studio monitors. This was an attitude changing expirience. Now I moved and temporarily have nothing more like Sennheiser650 headphones. Believe me - such type of of music wasn't meant to be listened on a smartphone or earplugs or even hi-fi open headphones. If it is your setup - you can't feel a half what is there.

[@Firefox1783]

Never dared to dream of a song created by Chelsea AND Emma together. This song is a MASTERPIECE! What about a MASTERPIECE-Album together? This song is so deep, soulful, not really anhedoniac. Cheers!

[@fulyayassbas886]

this song used to remind me of a perfect match but nowadays it just reminds me of when I was with a boy who has an anhedonia diagnosis and whenever I listen to that song it gives me pain because the lyrics get more meaningful than ever

This is such a beautiful song. Thank you lovely ladies. I hope you and anyone else here knows that pain as so empathetically depicted here is non-permanent. And very real positive growth will come from acknowledging it and respecting it, moving through and forward. Strength and better love for our fellow human beings sometimes come from these painful seeds. I am glad you gave the phone numbers for suicide and depression at the end of the video. Real help is out there.
