Yeah, I'm still really hurting on this one.
The more I listen to his stuff the more I notice the continual flow of 'death by water' references throughout. I suspect that it may be a little like when Joy Division lost Ian Curtis and went back through his lyrics and were a little "Oh shiit...".
Watching lots of these live performance videos I can't help but think on his brother Grant, always at his side, keeping the beat to Scott's amazing words. I know the pain of losing a brother would be terrible, but I'm sad for him also that he's had the joy of performing alongside him taken away as well.

Frightened Rabbit Festival Set Replaced With Mental Health Panel
London's Meltdown Festival replaced Frightened Rabbit's set with a panel on mental health awareness and the music industry after the death of singer Scott Hutchison, The Guardian reports. Hutchison died last month at age 36. His body was found outside Edinburgh several days after he was reported missing. Hutchison was reportedly struggling with depression among other mental health issues.
Frightened Rabbit was scheduled to play Meltdown June 19th at the Southbank Centre in London (this year's lineup was curated by the Cure's Robert Smith). The panel that will be held instead will feature several musicians including Kristin Hersh of Throwing Muses, Stefan Olsdal of Placebo and Dizraeli. Christine Brown from the organization Help Musicians U.K. will also participate, while clinical psychologist Jay Watts will moderate the discussion.
"The music industry has seen a number of devastating losses of life in recent years, and increasing numbers of musicians are speaking out in the media and in their songs about struggles with mental health," said a spokesperson for Southbank Centre.
Prior to his disappearance last month, Hutchison posted a string of worrying tweets, writing, "Be so good to everyone you love. It's not a given. I'm so annoyed that it’s not. I didn't live by that standard and it kills me. Please, hug your loved ones." He added, "I'm away now. Thanks."
During the search, Hutchison's Frightened Rabbit bandmates said they were worried about the singer's wellbeing, saying "He may be in a fragile state and may not be making the best decisions for himself right now."
After his body was found, Hutchison's family released a statement in which they said, "Depression is a horrendous illness that does not give you any alert or indication as to when it will take hold of you. Scott battled bravely with his own issues for many years and we are immensely proud of him for being so open with his struggles."

I'm going to Scotland next year.
I was already looking into a visit to the Castle of Doom Studios and a couple of spots they (Mogwai) started playing at in the early days. I was also thinking about a Celtic game. Would it be weird to take a visit to the River Forth and the Forth Bridge?
I don't really feel like I would be celebrating Scott's death, but kinda matching the places to the songs.
