New Zealander Daniel McBride, better known under the moniker Sheep, Dog & Wolf, has released a new single ‘Fine’. It is the fourth to be lifted from McBride’s upcoming second album ‘Two Minds’ which is out on 9th April via Aphrodite.
The song is about the extreme denial he found himself in during some of his worst periods of illness:
“I could be in the depths of it, barely leaving the house, completely devoid of feeling and utterly dissociated, and yet I would still somehow convince myself that everything was normal, that I was fine,” he explains. Believing it was a personal failure and not wanting to admit he was unwell or in need of help, he ignored it and hoped it would go away. “I wish I’d known then what I know now: that mental illness is just that, an illness. It’s nothing be ashamed of. And once you work past that shame and denial, once you acknowledge it and ask for help, it gets a lot easier.”
