The Great Depression is the fifth studio album by Swedish rock band Blindside. It is their first album for DRT Entertainment. The album was largely influenced by a trip to Africa that their lead singer, Christian, had undertaken. He was very unsettled by his experience and the things he saw influenced the album immensely.[citation needed] The song "Yemkela" was written about a young African boy he met on his trip.[citation needed] The boy had HIV and had less than two months to live. However, in a recent[when?] interview, Christian Lindskog revealed that on a recent[when?] tour in South Africa, he had seen Yemkela (who Christian expected would be dead) at a show in Cape Town. To Christian's surprise, he was doing well and watched Blindside perform his song and sang along. This Performance was released on a documentary packaged with Blindside's 2011 album "With Shivering Hearts We Wait."
