Lydia Loveless Keeps Laughing and Writing About Suicidal Ideation

“Every time I’m on the sidewalk, I want to step into the road,”
sings Lydia Loveless on her new song “Runaway.”
“Let this Kia flatten me cause I don’t want to come home.”


It’s a set of lyrics that packs a wallop but one that she laughs
about in our interview. Lydia is in a pretty good place right
now, anticipating the release of her new album, Nothing’s
Gonna Stand In My Way Again and with her depression
under pretty good control at the moment. But she says that
depression and thoughts of suicide have been with her since
childhood and throughout some tough times with relationships and
a record label.
