On May 17th 1810 the poet Robert Tannahill drowned himself in a Paisley canal.
Some posts can hit home more than others, anyone who has or is going through the hell of real depression will understand more than others. The stigma of the disease is being more talked about more than ever, it’s not a new thing to be depressed, our own Scottish King Robert III is said to have suffered from it, indeed he described himself as “the worst of kings and the most miserable of men”.
On to Robert Tannahill, who, in his lifetime was as famous as our national bard Robert Burns, he was in the same mould of the Ploughman Poet and was the first Secretary of the Paisley Burns Club established in 1805 he also wrote several poems and songs in Burns’ memory.
Tannahill had friends in Glasgow and neighbouring towns, attended the theatre in Glasgow and, importantly, was familiar with the publishers in Glasgow who were established in selling ballad poetry. His early works were also printed in the Glasgow Courier, leading to his recognition as the leading poet of the periodicals. Tannahill’s first collection was ‘The Sodger’s Return’. a Scottish interlude in two acts, with other poems and songs, chiefly in the Scottish dialect. It sold well, and the latter part of the title is a clear homage to Burns.
Robert Tannahill – the ‘Weaver Poet’in Paisley, the son of James Tannahill and Janet Pollock. Young Robert was apprenticed as a weaver at the age of 12 in 1786 and spent a brief time working at Bolton, in Lancashire, England. He returned home to Paisley and began to compose pieces of verse in Scots which were published by various journals. Scottish weavers had a reputation for literacy and cultivated tastes because their work, often done at a loom with the feet, allowed them the freedom to hold and read books. When his father died in 1802, Robert joined the newly established ‘Paisley Literary and Convivial Association’ which was an outlet for his literary tastes.
In 1810 after having work rejected by an Edinburgh publisher Robert drowned himself in the Candren Burn, his body was discovered by his two brothers.
Tannahill was buried at Castlehead Cemetery, Canal Street, Paisley, in an unmarked grave in what was formerly the West Relief Church. In 1866 a granite monument was erected here to his memory. There is also a statue to Tannahill next to Paisley Abbey, erected by public subscription in 1883.
There is a famous story involving Tannahill’s emotional farewell to James Hogg who had travelled west in the hope of meeting the Paisley poet. Hogg says that, upon leaving Tannhill, he ‘had scarcely reached Edinburgh’ before he ‘read in the newspapers an account of his sad end.’
Again I say about depression, nobody knows what is going on inside the mind of people, it’s an invisible illness, a silent killer, you can be talking to someone who shows no signs of depression outwardly, but inside they are toiling, be mindful with people, never be harsh with your words.
The Flower of Levern Side.
Ye sunny braes that skirt the Clyde
Wi’ simmer flowers sae braw,
There’s ae sweet flower on Levern side,
That’s fairer than them a’:
Yet aye it droops its head in wae,
Regardless o’ the sunny ray,
And Wastes its sweets frae day to day,
Beside the lonely shaw;
Wi’ leaves a’ steep’d in sorrow’s dew,
Fause, cruel man, it seems to rue,
Wha aft the sweetest flower will pu’,
Then rend its heart in twa.
Thou bonny flow'r on Levern side,
O gin thou'lt be but mine;
I’ll tend thee wi’ a lover’s pride,
Wi’ love that ne'er shall tine;
I’ll take thee to my shelt'ring bower,
And shield thee frae the beating shower,
Unharm’d by ought thou'lt bloom secure
Frae a’ the blasts that blaw:
Thy charms surpass the crimson dye
That streaks the glowing western sky,
But here, unshaded, soon thou'lt die,
And lone will be thy fa’.

When did you first start doing music?
When I was in middle school, I thought about how to get girls interested in me. And then when I was thinking about whether I should rap or sing, my senpai told me rap with him, and that’s how I started doing music.
So you became an artist from the pure feelings of a boy who wants to be popular with girls. What was your first rap about?
I wrote about two lovers who broke up, but I’d never been in a relationship back then, so I think if you heard it now, it would just be weird and incomprehensible. It’s embarrassing so I don’t want to listen to it (laughs).
What do you want to express to everyone through your music now?
I don’t want to send a message one way—I’m striving for music that the people listening can empathize with. I want to make music that, by empathizing with it, people can show on the outside what they have inside—their sadness, their happiness, everything.
The theme of your album is love, but lately have you felt love—from your family, members, friends, somewhere else?
I don’t only write about heartbreaking love, but all types of love, including fun love and passionate love. The song “I Love You” has couple’s ennui as its theme, and I was inspired to write it by a Korean webtoon. I’ve never experienced that sort of ennui in love before, but I have been anxious or fallen into a slump with my music work, so I swapped that with romance and imagined that it would feel like this and wrote it. I think it’s a song that lets me feel the love around me whenever I listen to it.
You seem like the type to often listen to music while shooting or waiting, but do you have any rappers or musicians you’ve thought are amazing lately?
I used to listen to Nas’s “Virgo” a lot in the past, and I’m really into it again now. Lately I’ve been listening to music I used to listen to a lot. I like how when I listen to the music I used to like again, it feels like the music I wanted to do is coming back.
What are the shops and restaurants you frequent in Korea?
I go out to eat more than I go shopping. I like the sundae gukbap from Tobegigukbap* in Yeonnam-dong! And since I also love hamburgers, I go to Brooklyn the Burger Joint in Garosugil.
*[t/n: I tried to find this restaurant, but it’s extremely difficult to find the original Korean from katakana.]
You’ve been all around Japan for shows, so is there any Japanese shop, restaurant, or food you thought was good?
There’s a Mexican restaurant in Roppongi I liked because its taco rice and burritos and stuff were similar to the local flavor you can get in the US.
Is there anywhere you’d like to go in Asia?
I like cold places, so I want to go snowboarding and sightseeing in Hokkaido during the snowy season. I want to snowboard in Hokkaido’s fluffy snow!
What would you like to do for an even with the January 2018 issue of paisley?
I want to sing the songs in my album and songs I haven’t had a chance to sing live yet. I’m looking forward to meeting all the fashionistas in Asian Wavy, who love Asian culture!

“So in the end, was it worth it? Jesus Christ. How irreparably changed my life has become. It’s always the last day of summer and I’ve been left out in the cold with no door to get back in. I’ll grant you I’ve had more than my share of poignant moments. Life passes most people by while they’re making grand plans for it. Throughout my lifetime, I’ve left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there’s almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door.” - Blow
