Big Star, the legendary, star-crossed Memphis power-pop band, fueled an entire generation of Tarheel musicians. Hence “There Was A Light," written by the late Chris Bell of Big Star. The song traces the arc of romantic despair as it deepens into suicidal depression. Peter Holsapple’s intuitive vocal slides from hope to inconsolability atop a regal arrangement that owes as much to Procol Harum as it does to Big Star. The song is crowned by a magnificent guitar solo by Mitch Easter which lifts an already emotional song toward the heavens.

About

Be Good To Yourself - The Music is an initiative to raise much-needed awareness and funds to provide underinsured music industry professionals access to mental health care and substance abuse counseling services in times of crisis, when they need it most. Across North Carolina, music folks (musicians, sound engineers, stage staff, those in the business of supporting music) are struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and suicide.

North Carolina's music is a treasure. It enriches our lives and makes our state a better place to live. When we lose an artist, we not only lose their music, we lose a human being: someone’s son, daughter, father or mother, friend. Let’s not allow depression, mental illness, or substance abuse to stop the music. Let’s start helping our artists and those who support them in the profession to be good to themselves.
