Inhaler, Blossoms and Fontaines D.C. add lyrics to Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) charity merch
Musicians have added their poignant lyrics to t-shirts to raise funds for suicide prevention charity CALM.
Inhaler, Blossoms and Fontaines D.C. have added their lyrics to merchandise to raise vital funds for Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM).
The Lifelines collection features a lyric from each artist which captures "a feeling of hope" for those experiencing suicidal thoughts or going through a challenging time with their mental health.
Blossoms used the line from The Keeper: "Let's spend this life as one."
Fontaines is emblazoned with "It's amazing to be young" from the song of the same name.
Inhaler chose the line: "It won’t always be like this / When it breaks, I know you're gonna be there."
And Tom Walker's says: "I wish you knew you had a lifeline."
Blossoms' top is available to buy now via shop.thecalmzone.net - ahead of their sold-out fundraising gig with Inhaler for CALM on Thursday (26.06.25).
Release dates for Inhaler, Tom Walker and Fontaines D.C. will be announced in due course. All t-shirts will be available to purchase at the CALM online shop for £30, with profits going to suicide prevention charity CALM.
The vital fundraising comes as CALM revealed that a shocking 6,929 15-24 year-olds in the UK lost their lives to suicide in the last decade.
Simon Gunning, CEO of CALM, said: “Music is part of the DNA of CALM - right from the time Tony Wilson helped us launch, and music is a powerful tool in our fight against suicide. One word, one message, one line of a song that means so much to you, can make a world of difference. We couldn’t be more grateful to all the artists involved in ‘Lifelines’, for using their platforms in this way, showing just what a juggernaut of a power for good music can be.”
