Band has really been the one thing that allows me to experience somewhat of a distraction. They say music heals, right? I'm able to exist in all my weirdness right in the middle of a big crowd of people, but all I really have to focus on is playing my own part, marching with the correct foot, and being where I’m supposed to be on the field. - Rigby Raines R.K. Slade
About This Quote

Rigby Raines is the drummer for the band The Dear Hunter. He says that music is his own distraction, but he also believes that it has helped him cope with his depression. From what I can tell, here is how this quote helps him cope: 1. By playing drums he is able to experience a sort of distraction from the real world around him.

2. By being in a big crowd of people he can pretend that there are many distractions all around him and that he is not alone. 3.

In order to play his drum parts he must pay attention to where his feet should be as well as the music sheet. This allows him to focus on these aspects of playing rather than other aspects, such as how he feels or his own thoughts.
