This is ‘On A High Ledge’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Boston Manor <\/strong>have released a hugely powerful video for new single ‘On A High Ledge’.<\/p>\n

“When I was seven years old I saw a man commit suicide by jumping off the bus station in Blackpool a few feet in front of me,”<\/em> explained vocalist Henry Cox.<\/p>\n

“Growing up, I always rejected the idea of what a \u2018boy\u2019 should do; I never liked football, I thought fighting was stupid and at age six I spray-painted my bike pink.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve always hated the term \u2018man up\u2019. I think it is such a damaging thing to say to little boys. A big problem that we have to tackle is men\u2019s inability to seek help; it\u2019s this \u2018man up culture\u2019 that is baked into young men from a young age that makes them think – it\u2019s wrong to cry, it\u2019s wrong to share your feelings and being vulnerable is weak.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“The biggest killer of young men today is suicide. Obviously, mental health support in the UK and most of the world is not what it should be, and mental health issues affect everyone – not just men. But I wanted to write a song dedicated to that man who died when I was young.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I hope, as a society, we can teach little boys being born now that being sad is okay. Strangely, the day after we wrote this song, one of the guys in the band was driving home and saw a man on a bridge over the motorway about to jump. He quickly pulled off the road and managed to talk to the guy until an ambulance came. A strange coincidence, but I really hope that man is doing better now.”<\/em><\/p>\n
